Back!

I haven't been too well lately,but it has given me the chance to do some painting,ie Republican Romans and Carthaginians in 15mm for my solo games.................




The figures are,Roman,Irregular and Lancashire Games,the Carthaginians are Lancashire Games only. With over 200 figures per side,plus Elephants and Cavalry,it was an arduous task,but it kept me sane(?) for a couple of weeks!!



A few more shots showing the collection-my painting technique is very simple-bash the colours on,varnish(gloss) and get them on the board!



Top photo shows my ever growing collection of 15mm figures bottom photo shows the Republican Romans and Carthaginians about to "get to it"

Now that I'm almost at peak fitness,and have eventually "cracked" how to get photo's onto the computer,I will endeavour to get the blog up and running again.

    Great to hear you are making good recovery, and what a fantastic set up! Carthiginian are an interesting army, quite a mix. When you can get them to work they work well.
