Well this was a duel worth waiting.
In my list I had placed "cancelled duel" because it keeps getting a later entry.
Even had switched a duel, but that didn't help.
But finally hee it was, two nice painted models I must say.
And the winner is, Mr. X well done!
He was up against David (ildfus mahler) who did a nice job also.
A shame just 15 other voters clicked on the button, hopefully next duel will have more votes.
Guys thanks for dueling, it was fun again!

Congratulations to both painters. I vote for David, But the pictures of fabulous Mr.X shows much more of his figure. So, well done.

[Susofrick]

I liked Mr X's pictures better so he got my vote, but both were very nice entries!

Thanks, everyone! I am really happy to see that Mr X won. Of course, normally I would have liked to win, but this time I am glad that Mr X did it - I put his (and Remco's) patience to too great a test. Sorry, also, for the "meh" pics. I did not have my camera with me and tried to do the figure justice with my cell phone...

So, congratulations to Mr X for an excellent duel and a well deserved win! Thanks for your patience. Keep up the great and steady work!

Best, D.

Missed this one, sorry! But great entries! I would have voted for the "loser"

[Bluefalchion]

Very nice duel here. Maybe some of our usual voters missed this one because of the topic title.

As for David's entry, I do not think his photo is "meh" whatsoever. As always, his paint work and photography are art, pure and simple. Maybe some voters liked the entry of Mr. X because of the bright colors.

Last comment--the figure is pretty flat. He is using a ramrod to load his musket, but he is looking straight ahead and cannot see what he is doing!

[Mr. Andrea]

Nice figure, great entries, fun duel. I voted for the loser as well: wonderful shading, nice pic. I see the red trousers made a difference here
Congrats to both contenders!

[Peter]

Pity I couldn't give two votes, one to each entry! I like them both and voted finally for the winner this time!! But as said they diserved the win both! Wonderfull painted figures!

[Kekso]

So few votes for such 2 excellent entries. That's real shame.
Thank you both for dueling and congratulations.
