The electorate is mainly composed of the people taking part, and I have my suspicions that perhaps not all votes are always cast purely based on an objective assessment of quality... ;)
Only the prize marrow competition at a village flower show is more brutal.

Couldn't have said it better. This and the frugal 40 voters are my reason to stop participating there. There's a real chance only for vikings and topless maidens ...  :D

Possibly my favourite paint job of your recent figures, those Blue and white stripes are lovely.

Thanks.
Stripes are actually easy to paint but instantly give a figure a bit of wow factor  :)
As these are gaudy Italians, there will be a lot of stripes!
;)

These Italian troops of yours are a really wonderful, flamboyant bunch aren't they?
Stripes and all.
Great brushwork!
 :-* :-*

With that red, I cannot help thinking of them as the ancestors of the Ferrari family.
Will they be designing a 'battle wagon'...?

Keep at it Karl!  ;)

Hmmm. Ferrari... Should have thought of that, shouldn't I?  ::)

Maybe a new banner is required...

Woo, Capitain blood!!!!!  :-*

If they were yellow wearing farmers, you could do Lamborghini. ;) But as hot blooded red fashionistas they probably should be elite ferrarians.

I would have to disagree with the first part but I certainly agree with the second.  Your figures definitely have a great "wow" factor.

Just fantastic. The stripes do jazz them up, and they're going the right way so as to elongate the leg, making even slightly heavier fellows look thinner. Saw that bit on Oprah once. Stripes are meant to be vertical!
