This was a duel between two mods so it was for that reason realy funny.

Rich(West1871) was up against Thomas Durrschmidt, and the winner is.... Rich.
The figure was the same, only Rich has put a bigger base on it, even if Thomas did ad a band on the rifle, he couldt get enough votes.
Thank you guys for dueling, realy liked this one.
Seems there will be a revance soon?

To all the voters: thanks for your votes!

Congratulations to both of you, realy good work!

This one surprised me (I knew who the two entrants were...) Thomas got my vote, but it took me several minutes to make my choice. Excellent job Rich! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Very nice work from both of you! For me it was the base that helped to decide... for Rich's figure.

I liked Richs' dio a bit more because it made a smooth looking photo together with the figure. So the choice was mainly made because of the photo.
Cheers! Good duel!

It seems I have do more basing work next time! The rock looks awesome, Rich! (The fig is very good too :mrgreen: ).

It is right. Your figure looks more smoother. It would be interesting to see both figs IRL next to each other.

Congratulations mate. Everytime ready for a "revenge". Perhaps a little "tank battle?" :-D
