Round 4 - 17th Lancers vs. On the march

[mikedemana]

you are unlucky to have come up against the reigning champ on top form.

Tell me about it! I wake up every Sunday morning wondering if this is the day the doctor lights me up on the LPL....!

Funny story about the horse teeth, doctor. Earlier this week, I photographed rounds 4, 6, and 7. It was only after I was done assembling them,inserting the close ups, and submitted Round 4 to Paul that the I realized the source of the strange "soft focus" haze in the center of the pics. I though it was maybe a byproduct of my new light box. No. It was a fingerprint on the lens of my camera. One of my students took some shots of our medieval dress up day for me and obviously smudged the lens!

So, I guess if you can go back and re-paint, I should go back and re-shoot those two entries before I submit them....

Well Dr. you've left me in awe again as well! Lovely action scene with gorgeous painting and beautiful photography! Are these the Wargames Factory Zulu's? I doubt they ever looked better

Braxandur, your rebels left me impressed as well! Lovely neat painting and nice subdued colours. The scene works well as a whole too

[Dr Mathias]

Are these the Wargames Factory Zulu's?

The Zulus are the Warlord plastics. I have a couple boxes of the WGF Zulus as well, I just haven't painted them up as actual Zulus yet. Truth told there's some things I like about each set and I'm eager to see how they paint up in comparison to the Warlord ones.

Thanks for the comments all, appreciated.

Those Empress sculpts really do come alive with some deft paintwork, hard to believe they are not 54mm.

Braxandur - you are unlucky to have come up against the reigning champ on top form. Your rebs are really well done...

No harm there, I can and will never be ashamed or mind losing from an entry that makes my jaw drop to the ground when I see it. Brilliant work Dr. Mathias, Love your entry entry.   Thanks to you I do feel the need to get some more zulus though...

I'm already happy that people like my fellows as much, espcially since I managed to accidentely use an aerosol primer instead of varnish on their backside  
These guys don't have that many nice angles anymore that I can take shots from

The nightmare of every miniature painter...

My sympathies...!

+1

The difference does'n really reflect how close both entries are.

A hard contested round.

Best wishes.

Great job Dr. I really like the blue/black color of the uniforms.
Braxandu, good use of natural lighting for the scene.

Gorgeous work on the lancers Matt. And the Zulus actually. Nice skin tone

Sums it up

Is there a support group for people who have got Doctored? (Been there, on round 2.)

Oh well, last time I participated I got Prof'd on round 1. The league is a rough place.
