A Little Diversion

 While I wait for the basecoat on my commission to cure, I banged out a unit of Roman Legionaries today.



The figures are 28mm Old Glory. Yesterday I affixed the shields with five minute epoxy and got them all primed. Today I painted them all in a couple of hours.

Tomorrow it's back to War of 1812 in 20mm!

    1. I liked them! I had this bag kicking around my spares pile for over a decade. It feels good to finally get some paint on them.

  2. Banged them out? My God, Scott, how can you simply “bang out” 16 hand-painted Roman shields?

    1. It's pretty fun to do. I like painting shields. They aren't perfect, but they will do.

  3. These are fantastic 👏 what scale are they...25mm I assume, but I know OG do smaller scales too....

    1. Yes, 25mm. I have always enjoyed Old Glory. The casts are sold, the sculpting is sold, and they paint up nicely.
