Medieval market

Some of the bods from The Strelets Roman market..converted with a bit snipping and a bit of paint.

All the possible  "conversions" from the set. I could of got a couple more but it would have been stretching it a bit...too many medievals in sleeveless tunics starts to ..er?......look odd
The females don´t need a lot of work..well none really in the case of the poor peasant girl, but the woman with the basket has been careles and let the X-mas goose do a runner.
Again, just a bit of a re-paint. The guy with the whip has swopped his Pugio for a sword.
No change for the bakers wife...as with the baker (apart from some warm tights :-D ) The Amphore have had one handle removed to give them a less roman appearance. I could of cut the bottoms flat as well..but that would have meant risking the paintjob ......and  I´m lazy :-D

Hello to Peter celella from Sword and Sandal Gaming blog. A huge amount of Ancients (and other eras) in all scales.
Hello to Gowan from Gowan´s 1/72nd scale models blog. Fun and creativity..His fantasy medievals are great :-D

    Great work Paul. The bakers wife and table set is awesome, I could think of a few uses for that model on its own.

    Isn't that goose a bit to small for you and your family??? And I get the feeling that your medieval town gets a bit overcrowded :-D

    Nice conversions and paintjob Paul! Keep surprising us!

    Greetings

    The goose?...tasted lovely!! :-D
    @ Gowan...amphorae were definately used up until the 14th century..there have been finds made on medieval ships ;-D

    and there is evidence that they were used until the 16th century

    Cheers
