'Evil Sunz Scarlet' - thanks to Dr Mathias for the recommendation  :)

Nice work there Uncle Mike. I have no idea what they are, but they're unfeasibly cute.

Great work gents! :-* ......and a surprisingly good match up! Capt-fantastic scene! Uncle Mike-your painting style really suits those minis and the GW ruins are aptly cartoony to go with them.

Both dang nice, the Hero's have a paint job style that matches the "flavor" of the castings character perfectly  :-*

'Evil Sunz Scarlet'

I thought you might like that color, GW got that one right :)

The heraldry is killer, stunningly crisp. If I didn't know your work I'd have guessed decals!

Great work on the Super Dungeon figures UncleM. I have those myself, not quite sure how I would approach them. Yours are up there with the best I've seen.

Fantastic work both of you.  Love the heraldry on the Lannisters but the little guys are 'so cute'.  Tough choice.

Thanks guys! Always an horrific experience to find you are matched against Captain Blood...that said, I'm doing better than I thought I would. Who knew I could be so cute?  :D

Those figures look fantastic Mr. Blood! I am especially blown away by the detail on the bases, a master stroke!

Excellent composition on both of these pieces. It's a tough choice here!

Thanks
