Love the Foyle's War entry - but that miniature is not a patch on the delightful Honeysucle Weeks (http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/14/article-1227830-00C9098300000578-400_224x400.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1227830/10bn-Mayor-Bloomberg-crush-English-honey.html&usg=__EMbgjsRcu6c5GM9qVUdoFiejH6o=&h=400&w=224&sz=26&hl=en&start=22&zoom=1&tbnid=zzf89Sg42TjDwM:&tbnh=152&tbnw=84&ei=p7S9Te67B8bb4wb25fTyBQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhoneysuckle%2Bweeks%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D608%26tbm%3Disch%26prmd%3Divnso0%2C646&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=1079&vpy=120&dur=318&hovh=187&hovw=104&tx=151&ty=88&page=2&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:22&biw=1280&bih=608)  ;D

Agreed!  :-*

Agreed!  :-*

Ditto. Not your common beauty but rather a rare one.

Really? I've always thought her rather plain.

Ah well... Eye of the beholder I suppose...  ;)

You've been painting to much WotR lately. If she stuck a wimple on her you'd be hers forever.

Her little sister Perdita* is like a slightly less mannish plain version of the same...

And as she was in The Tudors, Mr. Wars-of-the-Roses here would probably prefer her too.  :)





*Perdita? Please. Who calls their kid Perdita? What is this, the fucking Archers?

Lets remember that the good Captain is an actor, thus he moves in a world of rarified feminine beauty that most of us can only imagine...  ;)

That is true  :D

I certainly prefer the look of Perdita to Honeysuckle.

There again I always preferred Perdita to Pongo.

Perhaps that's where they got the names from.

Lucky Honeysuckle wasn't a boy, eh?  ;)

Anyway... Back to the competition...

Whatever your taste in dogs the main figure is every bit as melancholic as Micheal Kitchen, brilliant work Heldrak  :-*

That's a great photo Northstar, lower angle and closer in would have been better maybe  ???

What make are the Martians and how tall are they?

They look like Star Wars minis to me.

Indeed, FB is right...they "were" prepainted Star Wars mini's!
They are a little taller than most 28mm figs but easily usable as slender but tall aliens.

I should indeed have taken the pic much closer or added some but at the time I took it, it looked much better...I must have been drunk or someting! (although I don't think that drinking makes you see things closer or clearer than they are... o_o ;D)

But it would only have mattered a little bit against that fantastic Heldrak entry, excellent work fellow competitor!

Thank you for the kind words, Northstar.

Those Star Wars figures do make excellent Martians. I would like to see a closer more detailed photo of them when this round is over.
