 :-* The first time this LPL that I've genuinely desired a 'both' button. I shall have to come back and vote later because they are both wonderfully executed. I hope this doesn't come across as overly school-masterish (the dayjob is taking over), but I think you should both be rather proud of what you've produced, as evidenced by the appreciation of all the other posters.

Bravo, gentlemen, bravo!

I like the use a coin idea.....

I tell you what, whichever one of you gives me a shiny gold coin first will get my vote lol

Joking aside, I voted earlier but came back for another look - I just no not understand how you can both paint figures so cleanly as these and so consitently

I've come to the conclusion that its either some voodoo shit or you've both sold your souls......
Simply stunning, congrats gents

Amazing brushwork by both. It makes some of the other voting anti-climatic

Unfortunate that 2 such excellent entries should be drawn against 1 another! Both should go on.

Well done, lads.

Let's see here... bright, clean, crisp, and precise vs. bright, clean, crisp, and precise. Both on my list of favorite top notch painters...

Gentlemen, I believe the best way to resolve a winner would be pistols at dawn 

cheers

Hehe!

Actually, why not? It would be a seriously cool vignette, two swashbucklers with pistols aimed and ready, one painted by Bugsda and one by the Kapitän, imagine how nice that would look. Naturally, it would move to Sweden, where I would keep it for "everyones" saftey.

That's quite a tempting prospect actually...  ::)  :D

OMG!  :o  :o  :o

How am I supposed to choose just ONE?

My vote is for a "Both" button for the next LPL.

Great work, both of you should feel proud of your miniatures.

Now, who wins? Who loses?

This match is no fair... :?
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

Like already of many mentions, two extraordinary contributions! In addition a good selection of miniatures.
