Imperial Roman army. (1/72nd)


Took a while to paint this little lot :-D Now where are those celts hiding ??
To all you nice Uncles at La Armada..You might not like the scale..but you all came and looked, Saludos, :-D Paul
The bods are from...Airfix, Italeri, Hat, Revell, Orion, Strelets and Zvezda

Every shield painted by hand


The Italeri Archers stripped of armour...and I´ve added bowstrings ;-D
Balearic slinger command figs converted from orion gladiator set
The strelets sets don´t come with  command bods.....a bit of greenstuff and using bits from other roman sets and they get some commanders.

    The army looks absolutely stunning, Paul! I love the addition of bowstrings and am very impressed with all of the hand-painted shields. Very nice work. Are these Zvezda models?
