it\'s a tricky one.. Yes definitely under rated but what to rate it. Parts are good parts aren\'t a solid 8 I think.....
I often wonder if models that are listed with joint ebay sales get sniped a bit to try keep prices down as they never seem to do as well as others to start with..?

But this is scoring higher with the unregistered voters!.
I don\'t know about it being underated. For me I try to think of about what WHOLE score it should be around (in this case I thought an 8) and then figure + or - .5 is simply within the range of normal variance.

Sorry, in what way is the blending harshly done?That\'s one underrated mini if i ever saw one!
I\'m all for personalised voting(i.e. members only..) when i see ratings like this..

As I pointed out in the reply just above yours, the registered voters are LOWER than the general vote (as I write this by .2 points).
In fact in general most of the figures are lower WITH registered voters than others. The reality is those of us serious enough to join are much harder judges than the people who just pass through.

By personalised i mean: Me, charley, rate your mini,Drevilmonki, 5 because: no highlighting aso...
I don\'t argue your point that \'outsiders rate higher than members\' but anonimity(sp?) encourages sniping.

At 7.6 (which it currently is), I don\'t think it is underrated. It\'s not usually the unregistered who are stingy, it\'s the registered!
Overall score is 7.7 on my Vosty, but 6.6 from registered.
I think the Brett is good, but some parts are quite rough... not a solid 8, but I think 7.6 is about right personally.

I think overall it is a well done mini. But I think it is scoring right were it should. Some of the parts are not painted as good as others, ie the tail and the hair on the hoves, I also think the nmm may be a little flat in areas. Plus that base is in serious need of help. I personally gave it a 7 and I looked at this picture multiple times before scoring it. I could not decide on a score for it at first.

If you want to vote one of my minis a 5, knock yourself out. No skin off my nose.
What relevance that would have to the figure being discussed is beyond me though. Some people are saying it should be rating higher some are saying no it\'s about right. To me I see no evidence of sniping, just natural variance the you will get when asking different peoples opinion about painting.

That was meant as an example, doc,i certainly didn\'t mean to be rude!!
If criticism as above is given with the rating, it\'s perfectly acceptable.
Ok,maybe this mini is a bad examplary choice for sniping, so: ..case rested
No offence meant.

And honestly, none taken. I actually meant it, my scores aren\'t meaningless to me but they don\'t mean much. The only time Ihave checked my minis in the past 6 months is when I am told someone has left a comment.
I do understand that some people are more concerned than I am, but as you said this was probably not a good example.

I think it\'s rated just right.
The horse blanket is great.
The little shields on the strapping are lousy.
The armor is okay, but not spectacular.
The banner verges on 9 but doesn\'t quite make it.
The base is awful.
So, I think 7.6 is a decent average of all the elements.

THAT\'S how it\'s supposed to sound!!
Somebody has been looking at the mini and rated it according to his/her own taste, even leaving criticism. Rated 10 !!
