Oh and I thought some of the other pairings this round were difficult to choose. But both of these are as near perfect as anything that as ever been displayed here.

No man should be confronted by a choice like this before breakfast on a Sunday.
Both rather wonderful!

Bloody hell! I looked at the first photo and thought 'that's getting my vote' then I saw the second photo and now I'm so torn. I love those superb Lanisters and the Galaxy Council is magnificent. I can't pick a winner out of those two!

Amazing Alex  :-*
Not only superb quality, but astonishing quantity AND purple slime! How can I compete with that? :)
Beautiful. And I'm glad to see you really going for it this time - good!

Wow! Professor, that's an amazing scene. I would never have thought so many manufacturers would work so well together!

Captain, Jamie and Tyrion look brill!

This is going to keep me awake thinking did I vote for the right one

Two absolutely fabulous entries- so difficult to choose

This is why I love the LPL  ;D

Ditto!!

& ought we not have a button to reflect just that situation?

Please!!

Splendid dilemma!!

Thank you both for making it eversodamndifficult!!

For my feeble brain & weak eye, all 4 of 'em, are gettin' a workout today!!

Hear Me Roar's figures, setting, characters, & execution seem flawless...

The Galay Council's concept, imagery, texture & presentation seem unbeatable...

I am strained...

Two beautiful and rich entries; it's the third time I'm looking here within minutes ...

Alex, your painting gets still better from entry to entry, such cool colour combinations; you know we need a manufacturer list soon.  :)

Post by: Charlie_ on April 10, 2016, 02:40:58 PM
Two great entries.

Richard, is the chap with the beard supposed to be a specific character? I can see your Tyrio, Jaime and Kevan, and the fourth looks too distinctive to be just a soldier.

I've been admiring that ruin from your last entry actually, and after doing a bit of research found that it's sold pre-painted! Quite pricey, but actually looking at how these figures scale against it I'm guessing it's really quite big... It's on my shopping list!

Wow, both are  amazing, from paint to display but the variety of models from different manufacturers working perfectly together really makes it something different

any chance we could get you to ID all those figures Alex?, I only recognize a few of them....

fantastic job to both of you!
Title: Re: Round 6 - Hear Me Roar! vs. The Galaxy Council
Post by: Sinewgrab on April 10, 2016, 03:40:18 PM
Okay, Prof, list the members of the council...I recognize about half...

And this, people, is why I keep arguing for a 'BOTH' button.

Post by: SiamTiger on April 10, 2016, 03:54:03 PM
Wow, this is a tough one again. Both really, really acing their project.

Your entries are always impressive Richard but as Benbow already found out Alex has gone ballistic this year!!

Richard, I'm totally impressed by your entry. Your ability to paint red so smoothly was always an object of mistery for me. And the composition on the photo, the dynamics of the figures and the scene is just perfect. Bravo! It is definitely one of your masterpieces!

you know we need a manufacturer list soon.  :)

I knew the eggs...How did you get these ? You have not been to the Do or Dice my friend....
Illegal trading with Vikotnik ?
Anyway...there are only 100 Eggs done in cowork with pardulon and vikotnik.
Probably the Romanov Egg in Nerdville  ;)

Great work of you both. Good luck...and now I will vote.

Charlie_, I did wonder about casting him as Tywin, but he doesn't really quite fit my image of him. He was just a nice figure that I thought would work well in the group... I shall have to find a long lost Lannister uncle  :)
The irony is, he was one of a number of Blue Moon medieval figures that the Prof kindly donated to me last year. Now he's getting a puffing from that very same Prof  ;)  Ah, it must be karma...

The buildings are great. I bought them several months ago when the pound was riding strangely high against the euro, so got (what I thought) was a very good deal... Of course, the pound has slipped back a fair bit since... Thus do global economics impact on our ability to pursue our hobby as we might desire...  :)

Well he kind of exists! Gerion Lannister, Tywin's youngest brother, favourite uncle of both Tyrion and Jaime. Went on a quest looking for his family's ancestral sword Brightroar, and never returned.

I think you've got uncle Gerion there!

Both are so beautiful. As others have said, a "Both" choice would so nice in cases like this.

Have to join the chorus and say those are two superb entries. I'm not sure it's appropriate to deploy the word 'sublime', but I'm thinking those are in the neighborhood.

Wow Alex, that is some of the most inspirational painting and photography I have seen on here in a long time!

The Lannisters are also very well done. Especially Tyrion.
