Two great entries  :)

Are all of the Yakuza Foundry figures?

3 Foundry 2 Dixon and an Artizan, I expect you can guess which is which Orc ;)

The tats are nice, but what also caught my eye in the Yakuza entry are the polished wood bases; simple, but neat effect, that cries out Japanese tea house to me.

The trench raiders are, of course, very nice as well, but the overall scene is too monochromatic, and I think Grimm is relying too much on storytelling and not enough on paintjob.

I got a good tip from Darren Mathews for doing tattos. Add inks to the acrylic paint, it thins it while keeping the pigment high and it seems to flow smoother from the brush.

Thanks I will try that   :)

If that is your opinion I sure you will like my next entry  8)

The Yakuza are superb but I still think that the trench-raid is more my thing! Just have to buck the trend, sorry.

Where are the figures from Grimm?

Great job to both of you. This one is a tough one to decide on. They are both very nicely done. The tatoo is very cool as are the bases. Although Grimm's entry is somewhat monchromatic...it is justified for the era that the  entry depicts. Heads, you win, tails you win...type of vote here!!
Victory is guaranteed to the last man standing, but always remember those whom you stepped on to get there!!

Can you please tell me where to find them? I cannot recognise any of them in Artizan Thrilling Tales  or Dixon Miniatures Gangsters

The Artizan figure is from the KKBB "Field Agents" pack.  I haven't had chance to check out Dixons yet.
