Celt army (1/72nd)

Or gemanics, or barbarians or whatever...a generic army to scrap with the romans..anytime...anywhere
Painted this lot up about the same time as the roman army.
Bods from Revell, Italeri, Hat and Airfix.

The "Skyclad" boys

Mix of Hat Goths, Italeri and Hat celts

The battle taxis

Queen Beau Dicker getting ahead

A couple of hat foot command converted to mounted command

Hello to Paul from Warriors and wargames  blog. He´s just started blogging and his VBCW pics are great...the G.P.O armoured vehicle is excellent

Republican Roman army 1/72nd

Not as big as the Imperial one..and was a lot easier to paint...no shield designs...For this lot I managed to knock out over 20 bods a day. All bods from hat, cavalry from Zvezda

Not very big at all eh?

One of my favourite sets from Zvezda..pity they didn´t do an Imperial cavalry set.

Every cavalry commander has to have a dog (post Gladiator)

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.

Hello to Patrick Mondria...thanks for following but your google friends connection doesn´t work.

Lady Godiva ( Painted )

One of Alex´s sculpts...I don´t know what I´ll do with her on the field of battle, a distraction piece maybe but I had to have this model in my collection.
Thanks to the quick delivery sevice from Petra and Conny from Fredericus - rex :-D

I´ve tried taking pics in different lighty and settings...I am not 100% happy with any of the results.
Here´s a bit of history about the lady and her exploit...Lady Godiva

Mummy...I´m Scared!!

medieval bombard experiment

Due to a couple of accidents, caused by the massive recoil of the weaponary, messers Bodkin and Bodger have designed a "Re-coiless Cannon"

This is achieved, not with springs, oh no!!. Not with counterweights, ramps, levers or any other such infernal devices, but by the simple device of opening the rear of the cannon to allow the hot gases to escape, therefore not creating pressure that will throw the device backwards.

After several operations and the laying on of leeches, T.Omkins is out of intensive care and has kindly deemed to help test this cunning device.

Here we see him about to light the fuse.

3....2...1....

....and,.... oh!!! that doesn´t look right somehow... 

no..not right at all!!

 Can anyone smell tinned meat cooking??

Hello to pahoota from Solipsist gaming  and Atticusmactapia from El espacio de Atticus. 
I´ve said hell to both and not individually because they both have very similar blogs...loads and loads of very clever scratch building. For example, pahootas last post about making thatched huts is inspired thinking as is Atticus´s creation of cypress trees. Both are well woth the visit and a run through their archives on how to make and do.

Late Roman army ( 1/72nd )

A project started a few years ago...but never finished. I lost interest after seeing the excellent bods that Alex was producing...and went from ancients to medievals.
All bods from Hat or Miniart and all the shields hand painted...another reason for loosing heart

Back then (4 years ago)..I didn´t add bowstrings !!

Blind man Buff and Deaf Aza Poest

Two friends united by thier afflictions...Blind man Buff is lead around by his friend Aza...

Medieval Towers

Two towers made from my all time favourite (well it is now) material,,,blue insulating foam!!!!!

The joins of each disc of foam show up very well in the pic...in real life not so much...the camera never lies eh??

Wow!!! he got up there quick!!! Like a rat up a drainpipe!!!

Hello to Roma, from Mestre Solitario  My translator came up with mestre Hermit...I´m sure that can´t be right. Anyway...he does wargaming with cards...looks pretty interesting.
Hello to Jfaria from O BRIGADEIRO & J MINIS... WWII minis en masse to see on his blog...
I was sure I was following your blog mate...I keep seeing  your posts all over the net...;-D

Medieval wagons and baggage master

A couple more wagons to add to my Previous baggage train. I think this will be all for now....oops!!...I´ve forgotton Benny and Buddy...they still need a wagon to pull...oh well...back to the workbench

Wagon from the Airfix Waterloo set...(after 30 years I have finally found a use for it ) wheels from the Airfix Waterloo french artillery, Oxen from Pegasus, Bod from Zvezda and the baggage from Zvezda medieval Artillery set

Again, wagon from Airfix, horses from miniart, bod from zvezda and the baggage from tiolet paper.:-D

Baggage master.. All zvezda..the horse and legs from The french Medieval Cavalry and the top half from the artillery set.

Hello to Roberto from Shermanholic blog...but not only shermans as the blog name suggests...all manner of AFV´s...the SPA AS43 is one I´ve never seen before.

Great this blogging game...you get to see so many things you have never seen before...:-D

Roman Transport (set 1) (Linear-B)

,,,,with minor conversions and a different paint job turned into medieval transport set 1. :-D

The whole unwashed mob together.

The bod at the front was wearing "femina" so I cut the bottoms off flush with his ankles and he´s now got leggings. The bod directly behind him,drinking, I cut the bottom off his "amphor" and one of the handles to make it into a flat bottomed jug. I also advise cutting of the pegs that are meant to hold the baggage and using glue to attach them. It´s very difficult to align the holes, one of which was quite small (or the peg was too big)

The cart got a bit more attention. Cut in half, two metal rods welded to the bottom, wheels from the Airfix waterloo french artillery set, yolk from some copperwire and bingo...new donkey cart.

With the Bodettes the only bit of alteration was the cutting off the bottom of the amphor held by the "prostitute"

Benny and Buddy...?....they have got a bit of a holiday until I can find a suitable thing for them to pull.

Welcome to Harry Goaz from Pinecone Stew Blog....in his own words, Can act. Can ride a unicycle. Can make toast, but I´ll add to that list with , can take some great photos . One question... Harry Goaz from twin peaks??

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel.....

I was going to do a post on how I built the top of this tower, but it got too complicated.
Anyway...it´s finished and now has pride of place in my Daughters bedroom.:-D
