I find it really strange that of 700+ views of this poll only a handful of members have actually voted-I would have thought that this would have been an opportunity to give producers a steer on what is most liked...........is it apathy?.....don't care?.......most viewers are not members and unable to vote?.........is it more about pose & sculpting?........insufficient categories?

Intrigued......any opinions?.....Claude

Yep......
In my abeit totally unbiased opinion obviously....... Whether the others do or don't vote the category of:

'majestic, elegant, timeless, stylish Napoleonic'

is going to deservedly win hands down so there's little point in them doing so, unless they vote for American first nations figures instead !

Ha ha ha haaaaar :D

I used to have favorite periods, but as the late Joe Shaw said, "If it's a good sculpt, and a great casting, the paint will just flow", and even though the overall standards of Sculpting have much improved, I still use that advice. After all, I need as much help as I can get!!! Ray
