The winner of this duel is Alvaro, not bad for a first duel.
He was up against Guynemer who did also on his first duel a good crusader.
It was fun to see these new duelers taking part.
To both of you, thanks and congratulations!

Congrats Alvaro :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Not only did you defeat me, but had a lot less time to paint than me too! First duel for us both and I certainly had fun, fastest I've ever had to paint! :-D

Now to reclaim my honour... who's next? ;-)

Very good duel! :cheers:
Congrats for both good painters!!! :thumbup:
It was really difficult to choose... :roll:
Don't remember exactly what and why I vote for one of you!

@Guynemer: don't worry, I am the "turtle painter" here and for very poor results!! :lol:

That's a nice duel with some figures that I have laying around in my bin for almost ten years now. Glad to see that others are really painting them. ;-)

Congrats to the winner and to the second place winner as well - hope to see you on other duels as well. :-D

Several years ago I have painted one or the other of them figures, but in a very cruel way. Will you be at the Figurenbörse in Herne?
I'm totally specialized in Napoleonics these days - so if you have real interest in the unpainted figures of that sort, you can have them.
