Lovely work Frank Just cracking,I concede defeat

[leadfool]

Really close call

[Pil]

Wow, two really great entries! Well done, and I'm sorry Blackwolf doesn't get the votes he deserves, but Franks scene is so eye-catching I don't even care what movie it's from, well done!

[traveller]

Great work by both!

Frank, can you provide some more photos after the competition? I would like to see more

[Blackwolf]

There is a rather wonderful irony about my entry

[Dr Mathias]

Interesting- looks like the movie Khartoum got pretty close to the famous painting by G.W. Joy, I never noticed that. Great job with the Perry diorama Frank.

Blackwolf, really nice entry, very atmospheric scene, good work again!

Hey!

Now there is a great idea of a theme for next year!

[Blackwolf]

I second that

[Frank]

I really like your picturestyle Blackwolf. There is something like a taste of the past. Brilliant work!
...and I also like the idea with the famous painting!

[Axebreaker]

Both great, but once again Frank you stole the show with your awesome entry!

Both are great entries - but the painting of Khartoum is just fantastic.  Well done to both.

I need to do some reading if we add famous paintings to next years LPL...

Franks painting is fantastic, a really well presented vignette.  Any links to a picture the painting it reminds every one of?

Blackwolf - your pictures are as well composed as your painting.  Was that all one scene or did you blend a few shots?  Are you using a different lense for that gritty feel or a photoshop filter? Your presentation style is very distinctive.

Courtesy of Wikipedia, which naturally also has articles on General Gordon and on the Siege of Khartoum.

Frank's scene really is astonishingly close to the painting. How much conversion was needed for that, Frank, or does someone produce a set of figures to recreate that vignette?

[Pil]

It's a diorama by the Perry twins (partly anyway): "SU1 General Gordon's Last stand" from the line "The Sudan - Extra's".



Lovely work on it and all the other models fit in perfectly! The building also looks very convincing, did you use the part of the building provided with the diorama? Either way it's fabulous!
