Post by: Regulator on March 27, 2011, 10:23:37 AM: I went through all the entries backward. The only thing I know is that the poll with my picture was very on top. So I talked to myself with every step nearer to my post 'Oh no, where's Frank's?'. Then i came to mine and hold my breath - here he is...

Really nicely done, Frank. I am not a fan of Lord of the rings but your painting is amazing and your photogrphy puts mine in shadows. On a good challenge.

Wow! an amazing match up...Love the background and "feel" of frank's entry....while I love pretty much everything about Regulators...Puff and Slash is a weakness of mine...excellent work both of you!

Cheers,

Post by: valleyboy on March 28, 2011, 10:08:02 AM: The landsknecht are from Artizan aren't they - I have some on the go at the moment
I'm particularly impressed by the flags - are they hand painted on linen or something :o/

The mounted fig ? Foundry?

Post by: Calimero on March 28, 2011, 11:37:36 AM: @ Regulator, this level of details and overall amazing paintjob is really fantastic particularly from someone your age… just tell me you started painting at 2 so I won’t give up painting and go hide in shame ;)
Title: Re: ROUND 3 The Plains of Gorgoroth vs Landsknechts
Post by: Regulator on March 28, 2011, 12:29:32 PM: Thank you again. Yes, the pikeblock is from Arizan - only the doppelsöldner on the far right is from Foundry. The mounted commadner and the left banner bearer is from Fundry, too. The flags are printed on linen, but i gave it some extra layers. The new ones are avaible here: http://progloriaminiatures.blogspot.com/

And I started paintign with 6 ;)

Post by: Pil on March 28, 2011, 01:57:49 PM: A really, really outstanding matchup! The first entry is really dark and I think it's darker than the movie even, thugh I haven't seen it in a while. The second entry is equally great but a bit more colourful. In the end it was a tough decision between atmosphere or colour but well, I'm a sucker for colour ;)
