What a choice!

Two beautiful and rich entries; it's the third time I'm looking here within minutes ...

Alex, your painting gets still better from entry to entry, such cool colour combinations; you know we need a manufacturer list soon.  :)

Two great entries.

Richard, is the chap with the beard supposed to be a specific character? I can see your Tyrio, Jaime and Kevan, and the fourth looks too distinctive to be just a soldier.

I've been admiring that ruin from your last entry actually, and after doing a bit of research found that it's sold pre-painted! Quite pricey, but actually looking at how these figures scale against it I'm guessing it's really quite big... It's on my shopping list!

Wow, both are  amazing, from paint to display but the variety of models from different manufacturers working perfectly together really makes it something different

any chance we could get you to ID all those figures Alex?, I only recognize a few of them....

fantastic job to both of you!

Okay, Prof, list the members of the council...I recognize about half...

And this, people, is why I keep arguing for a 'BOTH' button.

Richard, I'm totally impressed by your entry. Your ability to paint red so smoothly was always an object of mistery for me. And the composition on the photo, the dynamics of the figures and the scene is just perfect. Bravo! It is definitely one of your masterpieces!

you know we need a manufacturer list soon.  :)

I knew the eggs...How did you get these ? You have not been to the Do or Dice my friend....
Illegal trading with Vikotnik ?
Anyway...there are only 100 Eggs done in cowork with pardulon and vikotnik.
Probably the Romanov Egg in Nerdville  ;)

Great work of you both. Good luck...and now I will vote.
