That canon setup is wonderful, Nord. When I played Empire, back in the day, I never managed to get the canon looking that good, and believe me, I tried! You've picked out some wonderful detail, and the addition of the Marco Columbo miniature and the powder monkey is perfect.
That Blake's Seven group - wonderfully crisp painting.
This is going to be a close match-up, I think. Great stuff from both!

Thanks Hawkeye. Do you think having Marco Columbo and the powder monkey is enough to qualify as a ship's crew - ships do have cannons?

While artillery is just plain great painting..

Now I will have to get this B7 crew, I am eyeing them for ages. I watched the series for the first time in the mid 2000s but it still rocked (albeit with some funny old charm sometimes)

Tough choice but the painting on the Landsknecht puff and slash clothing is phenomenal.  I have been struggling with that for ages.
