Nice work Orctrader - great line of minis aren't they! I'll definitely have to invest in those charater models at some point...

All the best!  :)

I had no idea there were so many wonderful smaller scale LoTR figures!

Both entries are top notch.

Fantastic work on the small scales both of you, I'm impressed! Those Rohan shields are wicked!

Nice work, both of you!  I wish I could pick them up and examine them both before voting...!

Great job to you both, the choice was hard and the close voting reflects this. Those shields are indeed fantastic but I also love the amount of detail Orctrader put into those characters!

both show an excellent treatment of 10mm.  I'd be happy voting for either one

I reckon Mr Copplestone will be quite happy too!

Cheers Orctrader - Looks like it is going to be a bit of a nailbiter!

Thanks for all the other kind words - I could definitely get into this 10mm stuff in a big way...

Thants, those are some lovel shields! I'm very impressed with your freehand, as always! OT, superb blacks - both in regards to the painting but also the photography!

What line are those minis now, everybody seems to know (and own) them except me! =(

Cheers Phreedh - very satisfying to paint in terms of surface area you need to cover and the finish you can achieve in comparison to 28mm!  :D
