I am so happy this one is over. Congrats to all who won, and to those who did not as well. I have wanted to comment on the winning piece since I first saw it. I would like to first say, wonderful paint work, I think that goes without saying. I would also like to say how incredibly creepy and frightening that main figure is. Obviously the sculpts are great but again the painting really brought out the creepieness in that old guy!

Again congrats to all... just wanted to share my thoughts.

Congratioulations to all contestors!

[MABO]

Congrats to the winners! I did not imagine that the first place was from Thomas. So one can say the masters back in town!
Was a comp with really great entries and so I gave up the brush to the also famous west1871. And Sho who joined me in carrying the last brushes was very good again!

So let´s hope there will be good entries in the next one!

The champ is back!! Congrats to all the entrants!

[Dad's Army]

Well it took a while for this competition to start, but it was worth waiting!
Congrats to the winners, but also for the others who made it a suberb competition.
And a special thank to the voters, who are welcom in the dueling field as well
Let's hope the next competition will be as good like this one!!!

[Ben Bob]

[Zed1]

Great one. Congrats to the winners - and to all participants. There are some really great ideas among those exhibits.

[vellek]

This competition featured some fine works. Congrats to all, and kudos to Thomas for re-taking the gold!

[T. Dürrschmidt]

Thank you very much for the nice comments!

Cheers to all other competitors!

And special thanks to Alex Gussev for making figs with the most incredible faces in 1/72 scale. The face of the "creepy" old man is painted only with four layers of skin tone over black priming, blended together with ogryn flesh wash.

Best regards from Northern Bavaria

[west1871]

Well done Thomas mate on a bloody great win And a massive thanks to all those who took part and those who took the time to vote I don't think I should have made it out of the first round or any of the others,very strong entries all round

Cheers Rich

[Sho]

Congrats to all!
Personally I like West1871's gladiator, great figure and fine painting. Alex figures are too easy to paint for masters.
On the next competition I do not win any brushes.. must prepare for following competitions.

[dutchboyinohio]

Great competition again! I always look forward to following them and voting. Congratulations to everyone who participated. One of these days I hope to have enough time to create a worthy entry for a future round.

[T. Dürrschmidt]

Congrats to all!
Alex figures are too easy to paint for masters.

Thank you for the flowers. For the next time I will use the colonial Germans by Hat or something from Red Box´s Boxer Rebellion series to win. I promise.
