Good God, Gary - the draw really has been brutal for you, hasn't it :(
Very nice legionnaires.

Frank, if those are more 20mm plastics, I am astonished at the quality you manage to achieve with them. Beautiful work, and the fire and smoke in the background is incredibly clever  :-*

Love the FFL

Love the Vikings

Have no idea where either contestant's figures are from - so please enlighten.

Both great little scenes too and good photography.   :)

Frank is in top form this year :)
The master of depth of field photography, and painting to show it off.

I have no problem with the draw, that's life - but thanks for the sentiment.

Frank, those are superb Vikings, beautifully painted and photographed.

Thanks.  The FFL figures are from Artizan Designs available through Northstar.  I think they are excellent sculpts.

Love the seagulls, Frank. A great pj takes you a long way but a detail like that really makes the setting.

A tough choice; both entries are excellent.

Thank you boys! The Vikings are made by Drabant Miniatures: http://www.drabant-miniatures.com/e_drabant.php?catalog=catalog28&last=last28 ...a small but very nice range of 28mm Dark Age figures. The seagulls are sculpted by me  ;)

I think it is a closer call then the voting suggests.
