Truly astonishing work from both participants. Regardless of the outcome, nobody comes away a loser in a contest of such quality.

I don't know about "Lead Painters' League", this is PREMIER LEAGUE!
Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!

Both scenes are JUST EXCELLENT!  :o  :-*  :-*

And the background really adds a lot of character and tells a story.

Very well done for both of you.

Please, please, please, next LPL we need a "Draw" option.

Frank, are those trees GW? What did you use for folliage?

Thank you.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

Thank you.

Yes, those are GW trees; I have been using foliage from a German manufacturer called MININATUR: http://www.mininatur.de/silhouette_home.php?lang=en

...and thank you for the kind words!

Oooh, this is a harsh one, so early on too. A big hand shake to whoever comes second here.

Agreed on that. I'd like to do a breakdown of the sources that inspired the submissions just to see the percentages :)
