| With playing around making a sort of 20/25mm Newhaven I thought about getting some 1/76th scale cars to match - most of my current lot are more suited to 28mm. Expensive, but a one-off for cars and later I'll do an order for trucks and things - plus see what I've already got of course. |
 |
| This is another unit that has been lying around for ages. Not sure where the 'thigh armour and upper arms plates' are, but that's the written description! |
 |
| Until I spotted and bought this lot I hadn't even realised the figure had been released - it's not in the 1972 catalogue. It didn't come with an officer or standard bearer so I cast them separately. |
 |
| What I did have was a master figure that had lost it's spear hand. So the version I normally cast is a 'reclaimed' figure using a spear that is slightly longer than the original' Unpainted redone figure next to one of the bought figures. |
 |
| Met David and David... Handed over some figures David had asked for... |
 |
| Took too many photos to list here... |
 |
 |
| Steven played a few games - PBI, Konflikte 47 for example |
 |
| Sandra bought a game |
 |
| I bought a few figures from Hayland Terrain... |
 |
| I alsoasked about getting a replacement for Dorothy... mine had a slight accident. I put a bandage on the wound but don't think the hand will grow back. |
 |
| Bought a T1E2 from Empress Miniatures |
 |
| And finally topped up my supply of paint brushes. |
 |
| Only 3 figures in this range - actually sorted the range because I was using the cavalry horse for another 'conversion' |
 |
| MC1 Mounted knight with lance |
 |
| M1 Foot soldier with poleaxe |
 |
| M2 Foot soldier with long spear and shield |
 |
| These are the figures I was originally working from - basically based on Medieval Islamic cavalry. |
 |
| The only 'modification' to the rider was to give it a shield from the Khmer range. |
(Update 21/5 - figures sent off to Pete Brown to have a mould made!)
 |
| First 18 figure Kushite heavy cavalry unit based on the Numidian cavalry. The gloss varnish on this lot aren't making for good photos! |
 |
| I chose to do a six base unit rather than a four base unit as this corresponds to my normal infantry or light cavalry basing structure. In retrospect, should always have done it this way... |
 |
| There is a second unit undercoated and waiting in the queue. |
 |
| I actually did seven elements - including a general. The Pharaoh is a Greek cavalry figure with a Rose Prestige Range head. The cavalry are a simple paint conversion - rather than sand down the Roman shield pattern I just lathered several coats of paint over the shield! |
Just added this to pages and placed it at the top!
Note: I've not included any of the 54mm figures, Pendragon figures or pohotos. The catalogue itself doesn't include any of the 1968-1972 'Classic' ranges of figures. Most of these figures should be available/castable, just won't always know until I try...
 |
| Rhoxolani MC - at some stage I intend to do an Alan/Rhoxolani conversion of the cataphract by cutting the kontos down, at which time I'll be able to do mixed LC/MC units with JLS/B/Sh. I painted the armour using Vallejo leather brown - can't say I like that choice, red leather would be better and use the leather brown for belts, etc. |
 |
| It's a nice figure - found the masters but no record of the figure, made it as a one piece casting because the original separate rider didn't cast easily. Must admit I like painting up the standards, just don't think of them as being in any way realistic! |
