Just in case, like Timmy, you don't get it:



Also, please tell me that's a photo of a castle in the background of the other pic, and not a real model? Spectacular backdrop either way, but if it's a model, I'm gonna quit...  ;)

Alas Wirelizard, it is a photo backdrop  :'( There's no way I would have the time (or talent for that matter!) to be able to attempt such an project
So no quitting.  :)

I wanted to help convey the Ninja theme with a little suggestive backdrop.  Its Himeji Castle (aka White Heron Castle) in Hyogo, Japan.

Not a fan of the sculpts used in the second entry (the heads and hands look too big) but I really like the story which is presented. Good use of the photo and editing to create a cool story. And I don't think the family will have lots of problem surviving with such weaponry ;)
The first entry has a lot of elements I like: diversity, bright and striking colors, dynamic posing and conversions. Terrific entry.

WOW!! Great job on the first entry...those figures look absolutely stunning. Two thumbs up. The second entry is simple, but very effective...well done!!
Victory is guaranteed to the last man standing, but always remember those whom you stepped on to get there!!

I'm having some serious trouble figuring out what's going on in that first entry.  I think I voted for it because there's some great painting, but I almost couldn't figure out what it was that was painted so well.  I think the problem is that these minis were so obviously made 2-dimensional so to accomodate casting that they need to be photographed from the side.  And why would rodents have the Asian castle in the background?

I like the Family Robinson and I especially liked the commentary.  However, while I know that an animal, according to the rules, counts as one of the five-man team, I personally have a problem with this and have been reluctant to vote for any team including solitary animals.
