24 pieces which make 27 bods (there´s two sets of pairs) which for the Money makes it one very worth while set. The sculpting is very good and there´s very little flash to be dealt with. The ones with bases still attached are to join the inhabitants of
Styrow-on-the-Foam, the rest will join the inhabitants of
Scalpere Aedificare.

Priests and baptism (?) The one Holding the bowl. The bod Comes with the bowl Held sidewasy due to the casting process but with a bit of dipping in hot water (use tweezers ) the wrist can be twisted so the bowl lays flat.

Jacob had, as usual misunderstood. He thought that they were having a whip round for him and now he´s feeling more than a Little cross.

Scribe and rich couple. The scribe actually has an ink pot, Stylus (a pen made from bronze, bone or iron) and Vellum. The vellum would be rolled onto a wooden roller with knobs at both ends called an umbilicus which appears to be missing.

Prostitute, Client and pimp with his Price list. Not really, I just set them up like this.
The "pimp" is Holding a codex, pages stitched together
at the spine and bound between wooden boards.

Perhaps the 'pimp' is holding a writing tablet - folding wooden boards with a soft wax sheet on each, whereon one wrote by scratching letters ito the wax with a stylus.
ReplyDeleteYes, lovely paintwork! Either they are tiny, or you have giant fingers. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAgain, I'm jealous of the choice of civilian minis in 20mm.
Cheers, Simon
Really small , and great paint .
ReplyDeleteCheers
Fantastic figures, such great poses!
ReplyDeleteMore stellar work Paul. I wonder if the bowl was sideways because he'd just poured its contents on someone?
ReplyDeletegreat work Paul as usual!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful set, the codex would have prices and abilities and bad puns?
ReplyDeleteThis set is great! Strelets is making an excellent range for ancients!
ReplyDeleteYour painting is worderfull as usuall! Because of that, you should be held responsible for many buyings! Modellers' wives curse you around the world! :D
