The Supreme Master Of The Universe




Its official, I am now the Supreme Master of the Universe........well according to the Mad Irish women 
Anne O'Leary anyway!!

It was a close run thing and went right down to the wire, but Mankind won the day, my mouse, yes mouse was voted the best painted by the narrowest of margins, 60-57. You can see the final result here.
Now there's been a lot of smack-talk on the blogs and via email from myself and Anne and from our followers as well . 
But I'll be the man here and this is where the smack-talk ends....Well done to Anne she gave me a damn good run for my money, I did think all along that she would kick my butt, but it wasn't to be. 
She did say that she'd used the last of her family votes to vote for me and give me the win, because she didn't actually want to win.That's the kind of girlie she is.
Anne did send me this pic below showing off her new tattoo, I'm not sure if she wanted me to post it, but I thought you'd all like to see it.

      Get him in a head lock Fran and give him a good old fashioned indian head rub. That'll mess up your do Ray!

    Ray I've got a new tattoo but it's on my arse and it doesn't say loser either!!

    And for fucks sake, your face on that figure is going to give me nightmares for years to come. As if I'm not already mentally damaged from just knowing you.

    Well done Ray. Supreme master of the universe.... sounds like a very naff kiddis cartoon. But that takes nothing away from your (or Annes) Painting prowess.

    Congrats Ray,

    Both great paintjobs, but I voted for the mouse with the broomstick (Mouse Witch?) as I like conversions.

    Regards,
    Matt.

      Aha, I'm glad I'm on the right side of the Supreme Master Of The Universe then, although I'd not sure if the tiny red budgie smugglers and red moon boot combo were a wise choice.

    Congrats on the win! I'll be expecting this to be the start of your mouse-army now.

    So to celebrate, you'll be wearing the Masters Outfit like in the picture from now on, right?

    I hadn't a clue who had painted which mouse but I did like the converted broomstick so that's the one I voted for. Well done, Ray and commiserations to Anne.

    Congrats on the win Ray. Now, don't let it go to your head any more than it has already - the vote was incredibly close which, given Anne has only recently started painting figures, suggests that next time she'll thrash your pants unless you buck up your ideas and up your game :)

      You may well be right, but how could I possibly agree with you?

    2. TamsinP15 August 2012 at 12:10

      You can agree with me very easily - simply recognise the inevitability that girls are always right!

      now, that pic of you - I suppose it could have been worse. At first I thought it was you doing a Zardoz!!

    You should layoff the steroids, Ray.

    Ray's way more buff without his shirt than I would have expected. Of course, his head is also over-sized in comparison to his body.

    Ray steroids are very dangerous and you should be careful! Congrats on the win and you both did a fine job!

    Well Done Ray.
    A close run thing, and in a way sums up my thoughts on the two pieces, when I came to vote.
    You got my vote but it was a tough decision to make...,Anne's work was very good too, but let down by a couple of 'beginner issues'...
