We are both civilised European gentlemen - so cheating is definitely not our way … but it might be different in your “Land of Opportunity” :smiley:  
  
But while waiting for Sjoerdo to call the next one … here’s my take on the Assyrian:

And just before you start asking, it’s a transfer :wink:

Wow! Top notch results all around, Clam, but especially beautiful Assyrian, albeit transfer shield. Striking colours. Good job both of you, gentlemen.

**Threadbare** :

The score may say 2-2 atm but it’s win win for the rest of us, so it’s more like 7-7. Keep up the great work guys.  
  
Love that group shot Clam, everyone painted with shields and bases. Hard to pick a favorite but I really like blondie on the right.

It's actually 8-7 in Sjoerdo' s favour because he has also painted the Mage, which I don't have a spare copy of, yet.  
  
But yes, it all about getting them all painted up. So who cares about score? :D  
But if Sjoerdo really needs proof that I'm faster than him.... well ... I'll let him loose :D :D

Another repair… you did great. Probably what we have to expect with 30 years old used toys…

You're still talking about that time when I promised you 4 sculpts and only delivered 3?  
  
I must say this one cast is the only one that is so crap, but even looking at the marauder catalogue painted one, you can see how soft the details are on this one. We have to apply all our painting skills to emphasizing the details on this one...  
  
In my case someone tried to cut eye slits into his helmet using a blunt spoon (even more blunt then a normal spoon!), by the looks of it, but got him sorted and ready for base coat.  
  
And I need to step up my photography skills, your pictures look great!

Noooo, why would you say something like that ...? Pretty sure you are the one holding grudges :D

Lightning, it's all about good lightning and a decent camera, but most modern smart phones can actually do a decent job.

I found the pro setting on my phone, printed a back ground on A3 and I think I have a desk light lying around the house somewhere. I'll try to set something up!
