Post by: Quirkworthy on May 11, 2014, 01:55:50 PM: I like both of these entries. Shields are obviously well done, but there are nice touches like the wood of the AK stock on the others too.

I recognise the post apocs as Ratnik models. Are the top ones Perry?

Post by: Neldoreth on May 11, 2014, 04:10:43 PM: Nice entry Curt. As pointed out about, the details on the AKs, and the figs in general are great. I also think the goggles are particularly well done! That terrain is great as well.

Those top ones are indeed Perry 100 year war figures.

Also, incidentally, the banner is also freehand :)

Thanks

Post by: Knightofspades on May 11, 2014, 05:29:37 PM: Both are awesome!

But the shields pull through.

Wow, that heraldry... such vibrant colours.
Very impressive!

Post by: Captain Blood on May 11, 2014, 06:29:29 PM: I am a big fan of people who take the trouble to paint their own shields and banners. Brilliant job on these Neldoreth.

Curt, those are excellently done post-apoc characters. Unfortunately, the artistry of Neldoreth's freehand is very hard to ignore :(

But well done to both of you. A great pair of LPL teams.

Post by: Mitch K on May 11, 2014, 09:33:26 PM: Bloody hell Neldoreth. Give everyone else half a chance!

Curt, it's lovely work you've done there, but I can't see anyone beating those shields!
Title: Re: Round 8 - Protect the Keep vs. 'The Die Hards’: Post-Bomb Neo-Soviets
Post by: Curt on May 11, 2014, 10:09:53 PM: Owch! This year I seem to have the lousy luck of always getting matched up against A-list brushmeisters. lol

Beautiful work Neldoreth! Those shields are the absolute bomb.

Post by: mikedemana on May 12, 2014, 04:09:02 AM: When I grow up, I want to be able to paint shields as well as Joe does...

Unfortunately, I show no signs of growing up...! lol 8)

Seriously, I feel for you Curt. Sometimes it works out that way...you take extra time and do your extra best and you bump headlong into a Frank, Dr. Matthias, Neldoreth, Capt. Blood, Prof. Witchheimer...you name it! Sooooo much talent in this forum. But hey, think of it this way: While they're kicking our butt, they're giving us free lessons...who's the winner, now? Boo-YAH!

Post by: babakoto on May 12, 2014, 03:48:09 PM: Shields are nicely done, but if you look at the whole, then I think Curt nailed it.

Post by: valleyboy on May 13, 2014, 08:54:34 PM: Neldoreth your shield painting deserves an LPL award all of its own :o
Definately the find of the LPL for me

Post by: Dr Mathias on May 14, 2014, 06:00:45 AM: The three on the right in 'Protect the Keep' are doing all the work, the gents with the dragons don't have any nicks or scrapes on those pretty shields ;)
