This was my toughest choice of the round.  Great work guys!  There's so much to love in both entries.

As a new voter this season i found this the hardest choice so far, both groups are outstanding. I have a soft spot for the retro sci fi figures but would congratulate the brushwork of both entries.

I looked up the Hydra miniatures site for the 'ladies' figs and the ones here sell the product much more than the ones being used on the shop website. Apologies if you're reading this and you did them for the webshop, but the colours on these ones are inspired (yours are still better than anything I would do!). The Captain's painting has also brought out the best in the Front Rank sculpts (which I'm a fan off anyway). I'm very impressed by both entries here, it's a shame someone has to lose this one (unless it's a draw, which might still happen).

Heh.  No apologies necessary.

I was almost crying when I voted for one of these. It ssems so unfair to the other one. That said I admit I voted for the ladies - I am a fan of subdued colors and that's what those minis show on an almost perfect level. It's really not any difference in the quality of the painting - it's more the chosen style that in the end let me choose the girls.

My first vote in this competition, bloody hell it's very difficult, but I went for the Dutch.

I understand that! But I'm temperamentally more inclined toward Sci fi, so for me the ladies had the edge, sorry.
