Hey - stop complaining. You're winning!  ;)

(Love the rusty corrugated iron roof, by the way - stunning.  But you have strange ideas about what goes on in the Welsh countryside  lol)

For what it's worth, Ham' I don't know how I managed to win against you... ::) (and I'm up against Professor Witchheimer this round...!).

Beautiful entry (again) from you this round. Are these the ones that had the cloudy varnish that you had to fix? You could certainly never tell from the entry.

The Welsh country side needs embellishments. The stables is a Forge World resin cast which I got from Dewie. I will do a bring-and-tell about it later.

Great scene Hammers.  I'd love to see a better pic of the car peeking out from the shed.

Now this one is really tough.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Very tough one, indeed.

I had to go with the gypsies under direction from the Duchess Starkadder.

She's a stickler for horses and didn't trust the eyes. Her equestrian knowledge is nonpareil and I bow to it. If I know what's good for me.

So, my apologies to the good captain. I truly wish I could have voted for both.

Well, were I not the selfserving bastard that I am I would have voted for your excellent entry, Captain.

Excellents entries!

By the way, Hammers, could you tell us who makes the gypsies miniatures? I can see the converted west wind ones, but I do not know where the others are from... Thanks!

Thank you Hammers.
Fortunately, I too am a self-serving bastard and voted for myself. (But only on the basis that mine are better painted than yours)  :D

Yours is indeed the more evocative and intriguing scene though.
Plus I knew people would get bored of my endless supply of ECW cavalry with their mad-staring-eyed horses eventually  lol

So I think you've got this one in the bag dear boy. No way back from a 55%:45% advantage with this many votes already cast. That's a definite trend that is  :)

Well done.

Git.

Both wonderful, tough choice.
