Am I allowed to ask that my vote be awarded to whoever is not in the lead so that it becomes closer to draw?

Two absolutely fantastic entries, by two painters both deserving to be Champion.

Well done, guys!

Though I don't make comments often, there should a tie vote for entries like these

Impressive!   :o
Sorry if I'm not original saying this, but is impossible to choice.
Both are really inspiring...

As one of the contestants in this round I have to say I was hoping for a tie myself, Chambers is a superb painter and his Round 10 entry is a genuine beauty.

(what are the alien creatures in the first entry?)

The little guys are called 'Smoggers' and they're made by Moonfleet Miniatures. I bought a bunch about three years ago from Matakishi of this forum. After receiving them I was scratching my head since they're pretty lumpy little guys... I did a little research and one poster on TMP said the photos of them on the webstore looked like they had been sculpted from bubble gum  :) That said, they're not that bad once painted up.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

This is UNFAIR!

How can we simple mortals choose from these two entries?

And where is the "BOTH" button?

This is the hardest match in all the LPLs I have voted in.

And the difference in votes don't reflect how close this match is.

CONGRATULATIONS for both painters for such pieces of art.

Best wishes.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

Stunning. Awesome. Fantastic. Breathtaking.

Both entries are the best Space Opera figure collections and set pieces I have seen.

Well done to both - now how do I decide who should get my vote?

Both awesome  :-*
But I prefer your scenery and subject Dr_Mathias, so fun. I still have to paint my own Hydra venusians.
