Post by: Hu Rhu on May 25, 2014, 03:20:23 PM: Well what a face off. The best two painters in the LPL with the same entry. Both are fantastic paintings. This is the most difficult choice of the entire competition.

Post by: Mitch K on May 25, 2014, 04:21:26 PM: Now that was a hellishly tight contest. I had to sit down with a checklist for this.

Wow. This is it. What entry to vote for? The best of the best did their best to show the best. Somehow it couldn´t be different from this. You both deserve to win this competition. I love trains, but what shall I vote for now? A hard nut to crack...

Post by: Steam Flunky on May 25, 2014, 06:46:08 PM: Not going to vote yet. I really cant decide.
As far as i am concerned you two are both number 1 in this league.
I think i will try harder and prepare early for next year so i can end up 3rd, 4th, or 5th behind you two again!!!

Post by: mikedemana on May 25, 2014, 06:48:54 PM: It is only fitting that it comes down to this. Good luck to you both -- such superb work. Thank you both for 10 weeks of wonder and amazement. You give the rest of us something to aspire to... :o

Post by: bob and his dog on May 25, 2014, 08:55:50 PM: Great scenes and good pairing by organizers. The brightness of the background shows off the nice colors in the single wagon scene. The other one is too dark for my tastes, all the figures painted the same. Lawrence is straight out of the movie. The Arabs are excellent.

Post by: FifteensAway on May 26, 2014, 04:46:42 AM: Too dark? All the same? Well, no, not in my book. I love the look of the venting black smoke, spot on accurate - I live near a world class rail museum and have often seen exactly such belching out of smokestacks of iron horses. As to the sameness, well, there are four different uniforms in evidence at a quick glance - and then there is this, imagine men in uniform being, well, uniform! But to each there own. And I'm not telling who I voted for, no sir.

Beautiful work Richard! Not only are the miniatures painted to perfect, also the rails and the wagon looks stunning. Good luck for you!

Post by: valleyboy on May 26, 2014, 09:37:29 AM: This is the longest that its taken me to cast my vote in any LPL so far

Get practising guys

Thanks all for the comments. It is indeed a Turkey shootout!

Good luck to you too Frank. Loser buys the bier mit waldmeister next time I am in Deutschland! (I did enjoy that green beer ;))

Truthfully, I'm amazed to be clinging on so far. I was fully expecting to get roundly walloped by Frank's brilliant cinematic scene, but the voting has been swirling around like a dust devil! At one point yesterday I was 12 votes behind. I looked an hour later, I was 2 votes ahead. Back from the dead! Now, as I write, I'm 16 votes behind again, and Frank is pulling away strongly. It's a suitably nail-biting finish. Enjoy! 8)

Post by: Neldoreth on May 26, 2014, 06:05:03 PM: Excellent entries guys, suitable final contest for sure! You both brought out some exceptionally great work on a subject that I am very fond of myself! Honestly, I thought that the Arab Revolt wouldn't be the most popular WWI-era setting, but man was I wrong!

Excellent guys, good luck to you both!

Post by: ahpincis on May 29, 2014, 08:20:21 PM: Brilliant work! Another almost impossible choice!!!!! Nice to see the Hejaz railway is popular today! The subject matter is fascinating from many angles of course and what happened then still impacts us today in the Middle-East.
