Yep, its getting harder and harder with each round  my vote went to the Captain, I like the red moustache best of all

Had to be the Brits. Fantasticly 3D and with a great story. You have to tell me how you painted those Captain!

But I do love the sneaky commando hiding in the Sentry pic.

[revford]

Both great entries here.  This whole voting thing is really hard.

I love the Commando killing the Sentry, where are they from?

[Driscoles]

Thank you revford

The Commando killing the sentry is a foundry.
It was a special miniature comming with a Commando Blister.

@ Capt. Blood. Good entry. Good luck further on mate.

Grimm - good decision!  :mrgreen: I go for the pics which tell a good story too.

Bjorn - thanks. I really like your entry too. Think I just got a bit closer in with my camera!

Xeoran - thanks.
My painting technique is (in quick summary!) white undercoat, then a thinned wash of 50/50 black and flat earth to run into all the crevices, then wipe off excess to leave the highlights in white (a lot easier to paint than a flat black!).
Then I just paint starting with dark colours and gradually overlaying highlights. I mix my own colours using a basic palette of Vallejo and cheap hobby acrylics. So for instance, all the different shades of khaki on these models is mixed from black, white, olive green and flat earth.
I think the result is maybe a bit more subtle than 'the three colour method' - although the result is less striking at first glance. Which is why I always try to show close-ups as well. I leave more of the dark shade showing through than most, and I generally prefer to leave eyes as dark and menacing slits. But basically my technique is not all that different from the widely used method.

Cheers Blood!

When it comes down to a moustache, things really are close!  ::

I agree though, the entries really are getting very difficult to judge.

Well done to all taking part in the league!
