The painting, especially the black is brilliant. But I have to agree, the scenerie is clearly 35mm and let her look like she was a giant. Therefore I cannot give a 10.
IMHO the base does not detract nor diminish, rather it imposes the figure, henceforth a superb presentation, expertly executed. ( Disappointed Frostdawn has no gallery to support some idiocy that miniature painting is a 'realism')
