Thanks, Remco.
Yes, I enjoyed a lot. The result was not wat I had planned but that's OK.
Congratulations, Emmet.
I should have searched for Emmet's works before accepting is challenge! :mrgreen: When I saw modern armies were his field of expertise it was too late! I had to vote on his figure... the only thing (and that suits my figures also), Emmet, she needs eyes and mouth...

Mine is a Caesar Modern US Army. It was the first time I painted a modern army figure and had no idea of how to paint a uniform like that! Now I have to paint at least another figure to fill that base and I'm not sure if I can replicate the uniform! :P


I lost it but next time... :mrgreen:

:nono: Not reading titles can be bad for your health :mrgreen:

"Modern Italian Infantrywoman" does it say :-D

Now about the duel, I thought that the woman was holding a fish in her hands, at first view. :-) Serious you both did a good job and my vote went to.......... David. :thumbup:

@David: you almost fooled me with your title, almost :tongue: Normally this kind of titles is Paul's trademark ;-)

I was convinced by the ponytail! :-D

The title was me trying to cheat! Not making voters think it was Paul, but making them smile... :P

There's room for humor and accuracy. Most of the times they don't combine...

I wasn't to post these two pictures here but, then again, why not?!
I played a while with Paint Shop Pro trying to get some nice images of the soldier and these were the best I got.
