While I love seeing the Bob Murch Pulp Figures in ther first entry, the whole 'group shot' element did it for me.  I had the same problem when taking photos for my entry; although individual shots would have showcase the models much better, I felt a 'strange disturbance' that compelled me to submit only a group shot (Perhaps it was the 'Force')

This clarification will make photos for subsequent rounds much easier: (
the rules which state that there should be a group shot, to which some close-ups, different angles or individual shots can be added.

But yes please, all entries for future rounds should have a group shot at the core.

Aside from that small detail, choosing a winner in this one was a lot harder than I expected...great job to both
Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb...

I have to add that my understanding is that there must be at least FIVE minis in an entry.  (Not that either of these entries violate that rule.)  While a vehicle counts as one of the five, I believe this is the only exception to the rule, right?

I think Blood pitched me against Benbow just to punish me.

NO, I'm pretty sure I'm not the Punisher ...  :D

I like your entry very much, Hammers, even without a group shot!  ;)

Outstanding paintwork Admiral, tough luck Hammers ;)
Well I've lead an evil life, so they say, but I'll outrun the Devil on judgement day.

Hammers, who makes [wiki]Lord Haw-Haw[/wiki]?

It is a Copplestone, slightly converted, so is Dicke Berta ([wiki]Big Berta[/wiki]). DB has a SS-monogram on her ample chest but that's been pixeled out for the sake of decorum. Kondormann is Westwind and 'The Boys from Brazil' chap is Pulp Miniatures. Panzerfaust is Monolith.

Lord Haw Haw is great as an individual figure, but the second group is amazing!!
Victory is guaranteed to the last man standing, but always remember those whom you stepped on to get there!!

The Sturmgruppen are just awesome. The guy with the white t-shirt even has a zippo lighter. How cool is that ? This is really  a beautiful entry. I wish you can pamper our eyes every week with your ideas.

Hammers is good as well. Poop on the rules. Its a group shot you nags  :) Or isnt it a group of evil germans ?

Well Scibor just made another sale after that one - superb! Is the monogram on the shirt a transfer?

Indeed, Tod, a very old 1/72 scale decal from Airfix' german Schnellboot kit, worked into the creases of the shirt with Micro-Set and -Sol, and then slightly repainted as it was partly damaged.
