Two wonderful entries! I'm not familiar with the models in the first entry (although I love the warpaint!) and I've always loved those Sky Raider models. In fact, I have a couple of blisters of them - just don't know what to do with them! Painting them as wonderfully as these (if only I could) would be a good start!

A hard choice, both entries are great, but since I'm ahuge fan of aviator caps, I vote for Sky Riders. By the way, which company produces them?

Really very difficult. Both are excellent. Great painting and lovely figures all round. Well done gentlemen  :)

The raiders are from Artizan, great for all of your pulpiness needs.

I love both entries for the quality of paint and finally had to choose the sky raiders for the pulpyness factor, good work both of you!  :) :) :D :D :-* :-*

real quality in both entries
Votes can be cruel sometimes and not reflect the standard in the losing entry
Lovely entry Abu, superb use of colour
Chambers, you've shown us some fantastic stuff so far but of all your entries to date, this is my favourite, its just pure class

Excellent entries,

I love the warpaint, and the bright colours. But i'm sorry the leather on the sky raiders is just stunning.

Cheers

Both are great entries but my vote goes with the Sky Raiders. Mostly for the subtle colour work but slightly because I wish to vote against naked wang  :D

Both great, very hard. The second head-to-head-race this round, I think

That's how I feel too, lovely entry Abu, great jungle and great paint jobs! On the other hand I always love a Chambers entry and these are no exception, great choice of models, great paint jobs and great photograph! 8)
