Such a hard choice.   Very hard pressed to decide.  The twist on the idea of SW and the Dwarves and its execution are both brilliant, as are those redcoats.   So torn ...

Great scene and paint job Frank. I am always impressed with you skill of painting a 3d picture.

P.S.: Where did the mini's for Snow White & co come from?

All of the miniatures are from Redbox.

Vote early and vote often.  lol

A very tough decision indeed, both entries are fantastic!

I do however have one niggle and I hope it's ok to post about it. Digital alteration of pictures is quite expressly forbidden in this League and the grass in front of the soldiers in the second entry seems to have benefited from little magical touch up here and there. Other than that the entry is fantastic as always: great painting, excellent scenery and a very colourful entry on the whole!

I don't see any obvious evidence of that- Frank has done base Photoshopping in quite a few of his other pics, to integrate the figures into the scene, but the bases on this picture look like they're simply hidden behind a short rise in the foreground. I may be wrong of course :)

Quite what I'm seeing too. The bases are simply hidden.

This is exciting  8) Excellent work, I couldn't split them. I voted for Chambers because I usually always vote for Frank, perverse but at the time it seemed fair  :D

If you lose by one vote Frank, it's my fault, sorry  ;)
