Been busy gluing up and painting more Gauls for my SPQR project , I must admit I like putting together plastic figures - not everyone's idea of fun but I used to make a lot of plastic kits in my childhood and so it's a form of regression perhaps . These are Warlord 28mm plastics , think I've cracked the shield transfers - trim them back to the actual design and cut out the shield boss using a scalpel .
Men with no clothes on ! , as somebody who can't cross the landing in bear feet going to the loo without stubbing my toe this is not for me - then there's nettles and thistles .
Gallic archers , again Warlord resin figures .
Tribal slingers , I always find slingers boring , don't think these are the best figures out there but I needed some . If you click on the photos this should enlarge them (new blogger permitting)
Great work on these figures Tony - they're a fierce looking bunch.
ReplyDeleteWarlord have done a great job with their resin models .
DeleteNice paint job. I haven't checked out Resin figures yet but my mate Kev just did some hobbits and he seems happy with this new medium. Cheers Greg (Delta Coy Blog)
ReplyDeleteThink the resins vary from company to company , I don't mind them .
DeleteLooking good Tony...
ReplyDeleteThe Celts were clearly mad... “ I am going to charge madly at these heavily armoured soldiers who are armed with pointy sticks and razor sharp swords....Naked “ 😱
All the best. Aly
'as you do ' !
DeleteNice going there Tony- like your Gallic Archers- very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks , the poses are good for the archers .
DeleteI must admit the slingers always got bumped off first in my Airfix battles as a child... I suspect it is an underrated weapon. These look great.
ReplyDeleteThey are the Ancient version of the 'mine detector' plastic toy soldier .
DeleteThey look great.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot to be said for plastic.
I'm slowly getting over my initial prejudice .
