Whilst I was taking the snaps of the Perry Italian Men at Arms in the "Found Them!" post below I thought that I'd take the opportunity to get a couple of quick snaps of some Late Romans that I've been working on.
As I say, being Wargames Standard, they're not up to the usual high standards I try to set for myself but they have come out rather well.
Bye for now.
Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gordon, very much appreciated.
DeleteDarrell.
Nice work, wargames standard and some I would say.
ReplyDeleteVery kind of you to say so Phil. They didn't take long to complete. to be honest it's the shield transfers that drive me potty!! Base coat- paint white- prize the transfer off backing (sometimes this can be difficult especially if you get a batch of old transfers)- stick to shield- remove all air bubbled- make sure the edges aren't sticking out- smooth any edges sticking out around edge of shield- gloss varnish to protect before painting mini! I swear I could have painted all the shield designs in that time!! LOL :>)

Very nice Darrell! The good old Quinta Macedonia, terrific.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Is there anything that you don't know about the Romans? What did they ever do for us? ;>)
DeleteAnother two units this size and a couple of smaller war machine and crew to go. I'll post pics as i go along of course.

They're okay for a quick job, did you paint them while watching TV at the same time.................
ReplyDeleteLOL ;-)very nice Mr Hindley

Thanks Jason.
DeleteSeriously, if you were to see them close up compared to my display standard you'd see the difference :>)
Darrell.
Beautiful, absolutly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. I think that the quality of the actual sculpt has a lot to do with how they come out so kudos to Musketeer/Footloose Bill for producing such great mini's.
DeleteThey look nice some would love to have heir tabletop miniatures this level.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the very kind words- it's always a boost to hear such complimentary commentary :>)
DeleteDarrell.
You certainly have a true talent, they look superb.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the kind words.
DeleteThey really are just Wargames Standard, maybe the picture does them more justice(?). i think all in all they didn't take up more than two days max.
Darrell.
