I have been bested by the best, spectrehorseman. Congrats on advancing. To your next opponent: better be planning a museum piece to compete with this guy!

Ahhh, gremlins! So much winning!

I like that he is based in your diorama, so you can use him in the future.

I feel the same. I was reticent to glue my model in place on the diorama base of my entry, too. After the competition, I'll likely peel him off to re-base it.

The theme isn't very strong on this one but the paintjob is absolutely fantastic. The model is basically a walking diorama and you've done it justice with your brushwork.

Disagree with you here. Whiskey can certainly be interpreted as liquid gold for the tongue! ...and there certainly are enough fools around. 

What a fun surprise for the curious adventurer!

Sadly the gold is lost in photographic translation. It comes through as a sickly green instead. I hope the judges can appreciate the effort and technique that got you there.
