The winner from the last round was the "Funeral boat of Boromir" by 5 votes lead on its competition but all the other ideas had a fairly well spread support so the final winning idea is still uncertain. I selected the 3 tied runnersup too.
This is your opportunity to promote your idea so don't be shy about adding sketches or submitting photos. Its up to you to get others to support your idea.
This is an open vote so you can see the state of the vote prior to submitting your vote.

Lothiriel, queen of Rohan.Lothíriel "flower garlanded maiden" was the wife of King Éomer of Rohan. She was the daughter of Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth and Boromir and Faramir's cousin. Lothíriel married Éomer, King of Rohan, in TA 3021 They had at least one son named Elfwine the Fair who became the nineteenth King of Rohan on the death of his father in the year 63 of the Fourth Age. Lothíriel died ten years later. I imagine her with the proud and beauty of Dunadan high lineage but the the simplicity and fairness of Rohan girls. picture sample: neldor.deviantart.com/art/Eomer-and-Lothiriel-Wedding-61843251she wear a floral headdress like this: img0.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.232077096.jpgref.: J.R.R.

"Now they laid Boromir in the middle of the boat that was to bear him away. They grey hood and elven-cloak they folded and placed beneath his head. They combed his long dark hair and arrayed it upon his shoulders. The golden belt of Lórien gleamed about his waist. His helm they set beside him, and across his lap they laid the cloven horn and the hilts and shards of his sword; beneath his feet they put the swords of his enemies."
J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings, Book 3, Chapter 1: The Departure of Boromir

I have a poem...and it rhymes too! What a strange game they play! Catching, tossing, laughter abounds, smashing and splintering all around. The valley below is littered far and wide with rocks and rubble from the mountainside. Pitch and tumble, swing and sway, if you‘re not a stone giant, better get out of the way!

I just hope the giant legs won't close the gap this time.

Many GF members did not say yet which miniature they prefer. I feel for past monthes that less people are voting, suggesting, nor commenting suggestions.
I would really like my suggestion to win, but I'd rather see this section more alive !

Ok then Master Milo, Boromir got my vote as I have long wanted to see this realised since it was first suggetsed a few moons ago . Using products from Woodlands Scenics I think a very realistic moment in time can be achieved as the boat and Boromir plunge down Rauros on his final journey. The fact that if it wins may mean another Boromir figure is not important as the scene is unique and features specifically in the Good Book .

I have always teared up at the thought of poor Boromir, who, though a good man, shared the arrogance of his Father and for one world-changing moment tried to take the ring, and yet died a noble death. Alas for Boromir! In the scene I will make for you, the river will take you home in honor! Thanks Milo, and will someone send this US mismift a link to the place I can buy me an Elvish boat?

Hi Rohangrl, it looks like we will be getting one if the vote holds, but I grabbed three of these and they are very nice little boats. The company is a UK one so not sure what shipping would be www.ebobminiatures.com/products/fantasy.htm#2
