Is that a rhododendron in the second photo? How was it modelled?

Both are really clever scenes. Honestly surprised this one isn't neck and neck...!

To both painters:

Wow, guys what great entries.  Took me quite a while to decide which team to vote for.

Parading my figure ignorance I don't know where either set of figures come from so please tell me.  I will (almost certainly) buy the figures from both teams.   :)

The Indian Rope Trick is from Eureka Miniatures.
I'm also curious as to where those Small Samurai are from as well  :)

The tree is actually a small boxwood twig. :)

The samurai dwarves are from Cavalcade Wargames.

Congratulations on the great scene, D@rth!

Neat stuff, both entries!

I was not aware Eureka had a whole selection of Indian & Middle Eastern civilians - sometime later this year I'll have to sent a chunk of the gaming budget Down Under and get the badly-needed locals & bystanders my overlapping NWF/BoB/Strange Aeons-on-the-Subcontinent projects have been lacking!

I really like both of these. I haven't voted yet as it's a hard choice.

Both have cool settings, appear to be painted similarly, and I like the figures themselves. I have the rope trick set (not painted yet...) and I have a thing for 'fantasy oriental' too.

You guys are making it tough :)

Is it just me, or do those dwarves look like Rick Priestley? :)

I was going more for Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin in Iron Man 3, but I can see it! :)

The Ganesha shrine is a cheap jewelry piece that I found at a Michael's craft store.  Cost about 3 bucks and painted up rather easily.

Thanks for all the kind words :) and great show Bill!
