Post by: Captain Blood on May 19, 2013, 03:32:41 PM: Guy, that is an awesome assemblage of Dark Age figures. I recognise the Musketeer Miniatures Aella (having just acquired him a several other characters myself) - could I prevail on you to identify the other figures in the group? :)

Lovely little diorama, Curt - and very nicely painted. The figures (are they from Eureka?) are a wee bit on the munchkin side for my taste - but that in no way detracts from your paintwork.

I can see why this match is (currently) looking very close. Well done both of you :)

Post by: Mason on May 19, 2013, 04:53:44 PM: This was easily the most difficult choice for me.
Two great entries.

Blackwolf: Superb atmospheric painting, as always.

Curt: Excellent paintwork and a cracking idea for a diorama.

Tough, tough choice.

Post by: Captain Blood on May 21, 2013, 10:12:13 PM: Nip and tuck all the way. i don't think there have been more than 5 votes in it for the entire match! :o

Very exciting (but very stressful for the poor old competitors!) quite glad I don't have to worry about it this time ;)

Yes, it was great match, Guy. Right down to the wire, making it a real nail-biter!

Sorry for the delay in responding (don't know how I missed it). Yes, the figures are all from Eureka. I agree with you in that some of the proportions seem a little 'stunted' but I let that pass as they're such evocative models and fun to work with.
