Greetings

for some reason I can't stop giggling when looking at the middle picture in the last row. I have a marquee "Beware the soup" flashing  when I look that picture
I would be interested what minis you used here.

Mr Orctrader, I just plain love the facials on your minis. And the decurion wiggling his stick has an amazing bush on his helmet.

Love them
Thank you
Jo

Both excellent, dynamic groups and very well matched in terms of painting. Very hard to choose 

I would suggest a 'both' button, but then I'd have to kill myself   

[gamer Mac]

Very hard choice.
Two cracking entries

What everyone above said really. Great job on those Romans and the running petard crew is indeed rather funny!

[Rob Herrick]

Why do you keep giving us such hard choices?

I very much want to know what manufacturer made the figures in the ECW diorama. Who can resist dismounted cavalry with grenades?

The Romans have excellent animation and facial expressions.The ECW diorama works splendidly as a group. Both painters did an excellent job!

I bought this set myself a few weeks ago, and fully intended to paint it as a team for the LPL. Glad I didn't now! 

[Orctrader]

Thanks for the comments chaps.   

@ Abu_Iskander - great entry.  I think you might win the match.

Cheers, all. Once again one of my sly U.S. film puns goes un-noticed:

Orctrader, sharp looking Romans.  Best of luck going forward.

[Hawkeye]

Got the pun, Abu, although to my shame I didn't know what a "petard" was until I looked at your (wonderful) entry and guessed it from the context! And who's to say that gaming can't be learning experience!
Wonderful entries here from two of my favourite painters - a tough one to decide!

[valleyboy]

Both are excellent aren't they - really nicely done and photographed
Can't ask for better
Abu I've watched your work get progressively better over the years, it was always good, now its bleedin marvellous

Both great entries!
