Yes, how did you model the bamboo? Also, are they Perry figures?

Both are totally stunning! Brilliant.

Great painting Bugsda. Is that two different Sherlock and Watson pairs, both Foundry? I only have one of those sets...

Thanks! The stalks are made with a combination of floral wire, electrician's heat shrink tubing, and some plastic plant that is turned upside down. The joints between segments are just painted on.

I'll have to do a tutorial as it is kind of difficult to describe and I think you need a specific plant type. I may have a frond or two left over. I could always use more bamboo...

Also, are they Perry figures?

The figures are from Kingsford, from the Ikko-Ikki and Sohei packs. Overall really nice figures. They're a bit larger than Perry and the hands on some are awkward. The detail and clarity of the lacing, and well sculpted, characterful faces are what I really like about them.

Thanks for your quick reply! By the way, are the bases 20mm or 25mm round?

They're labeled as 25mm round. They're actually solid plastic bases from Wargames Factory. I used them because the Kingsfords have integral bases and putting them on a slotta would raise them a little too high, a metal washer like I use on most of my historicals is too thin. My oriental fantasy stuff is on slottas, so I went with a compromise. I think they blend in with other base types I use pretty well. I wish I had used the WF bases on a lot of my older stuff too- the thickness is just right IMO.

Well butter me in mustard and call me Colin. I am so in awe. The standard of these is majestic and both entries fully deserve all the praise and admiration I am convinced they shall recieve.

Now the tough stuff. How do I choose?
