vs

[Dad's Army]

Sorry, I thought I already finished the game on Sunday...
Here's the result of another cool duel.
The winner is (drum roll) Mr. Andrea, so unfortunately for Mr.X the second place.
Fortunately he does it for fun, but both a fantastic result, with a beautiful lady as a figure.
Congratulations Andrea, and better luck next time Mr. X.
Thanks also to everyone who took the time to vote.
Should you also have a duel against Mr. Want to feed X, there are still a few months left...

I really liked both figures, although neither photograph is quite in focus. The second entry got my vote because it looks as if she is coyly looking to the side. Quite a clever illusion.

So congrats to Mr. Andea, and good job by Mr. X.

After examining the figure at PSR and with these two well painted examples, I still wonder if her left thigh should be visible or not!

I think you can paint her as naked as possible. Very nice figure for a duel. I like the face of bella Valentina, but the overall look of Anderas lady let me vote for him. But congrats to both for nice entries. I am looking forward to the next duel!

[Graeme]

Both entries were beautifully painted and I loved the coquettish look on the face of Mr. X's figure but Mr. Andrea's figure got my vote because of the skin tones showing through her clothing making it look diaphanous, I thought that was very clever.

Another great entry! Bella Valentina's eyes made me vote for her. But both are very good entries!

[Peter]

Congrats to both of you, but special for Mr Andrea for the win.

I voted for the entry of Mr X because this time the eyes didn't disturbe. It gives the figure a cartoonic look like in an Asterix story. Love it!

[Mr. Andrea]

Thanks to all that voted for this duel. It was indeed a great and challenging figure. I agree with Peter that Mr.X gave his lady an Asterix touch. When I saw those eyes I said "ok, I will loose". Happy that my attempt at painting a transparent tunic worked out somehow. I am glad that Graeme noticed that. @Aaron: she is a Roman prostitute: of course her left thigh and buttock should be visible
But the funniest thing of all is that my wife's name is Valentina! Imagine my reaction when I saw the title of Mr. X's entry. Who the hell is Mr. X? Does he has telepathic power?

[Santi Pérez]

Congratulations for both duelists. Each figure has its particular touch, but I preferred Mr. Andrea's style and voted for him.

Santi.

Good duel, though choice
