Wow, guys what great entries. Took me quite a while to decide which team to vote for.

Parading my figure ignorance I don't know where either set of figures come from so please tell me. I will (almost certainly) buy the figures from both teams. :)

Post by: D@rth J@ymZ on 06 April 2014, 09:08:39 PM: The Indian Rope Trick is from Eureka Miniatures.
I'm also curious as to where those Small Samurai are from as well :)

Post by: GemGames on 06 April 2014, 09:53:55 PM: The tree is actually a small boxwood twig. :)

The samurai dwarves are from Cavalcade Wargames.

Congratulations on the great scene, D@rth!

Post by: Wirelizard on 08 April 2014, 04:21:54 AM: Neat stuff, both entries!

I was not aware Eureka had a whole selection of Indian & Middle Eastern civilians - sometime later this year I'll have to sent a chunk of the gaming budget Down Under and get the badly-needed locals & bystanders my overlapping NWF/BoB/Strange Aeons-on-the-Subcontinent projects have been lacking!

Post by: Dr Mathias on 08 April 2014, 04:43:06 AM: I really like both of these. I haven't voted yet as it's a hard choice.

Both have cool settings, appear to be painted similarly, and I like the figures themselves. I have the rope trick set (not painted yet...) and I have a thing for 'fantasy oriental' too.

You guys are making it tough :)

Post by: D@rth J@ymZ on 13 April 2014, 10:18:09 AM: The Ganesha shrine is a cheap jewelry piece that I found at a Michael's craft store. Cost about 3 bucks and painted up rather easily.

Thanks for all the kind words :) and great show Bill!

I've been tryin' to train these old eyes to spot gems amongst cheap jewelry n'sundry geegaws in flea markets & antique malls.

I find I tire faster than I think I ought to, the lighting is universally miserable, and my trifocularity tends to make me lose focus too frequently. A lighted magnifier and my pocket LED flamethrower flashlight are of enormous help.

Slick bits like this one though keep me searchin' !!

Thank you!!
