By golly, those are both splendid!

Wonderful and unexpected Dylan. Sumptuously done  :-*
Glad to see you still building your early Dark Ages collection, Jan  :-*

What a face-off!

Yes, both very good entries indeed. Are the Elizabethans TAG figures?

Yes indeed, TAG Renaissance range. Very painter-friendly, as it happens. I found them enjoyable figures to paint.

Oh, boy! What a difficult choice I have in front of me! On the one hand, I absolutely love the Elizabethan period, so to see such a great paint job on these TAG figures is definitely a plus. But on the other hand, I tend to love everything Hazel does, and even more so when the miniatures in question are from his Dark Ages project. Truly, both of you have done a superb job! :-* :-* :-*

Cheers and good luck!

Dylan, your entry is outstanding. The composition and the painting are much more inspiered than my Arthurians.
Well done mate! This white horse alone is so incredible.

Well that's a dilemma, fantastic entries!

Is that Blackadder and Percy?  lol

Thanks, Jan. That means a lot coming from you. I'm a great admirer of your style and skill. You manage a crispness of contrast that has the figures leaping out of the photo. And that makes me very envious.  :)

Aye, and Baldrick picking his nose behind them, too.  :)

Interesting looking miniatures which you have painted beautifully.
