Reconquista Interlude
With the recent, steady stream of Reconquista units rolling off from the painting desk, I pushed a unit for the Punic War project into the production line. This time, a Libyan spear unit from Renegade Miniatures. As all Renegade figures I have, these are big 28's and thirteen figures fill up one Impetvs-sized base. I should note that the officer is not Renegade but an Aventine Roman officer that has been pressed into service. I figured the best dressed Carthaginians would be either heavily influenced by Roman fashion or simply "acquired" a Roman officer's kit.

Looking very good, Jon. I see you had the same problem with the transfers that I did. I have no real clue how to keep them from folding like that, but scoring the back in a crossing pattern (like cutting a pizza) did help.
ReplyDeleteQuite right about the transfers. I'll try your recommendation the next time. I was hoping with the stain that the transfer imperfections would take on the appearance of hack and slash marks on the shield. I guess not!
DeleteI just had a similar problem with the Norman transfers from Flags of War. (They lack a cut out for the shield boss) Are you using decal set?
DeleteNo decal set for these. Can that be used with LBM transfers?
DeleteI use it for all decals. It works well as a fixative, and reduces the bubbling/wrinkling.
DeleteGreat paintjob on these Lybian spears!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil!
DeleteA great diversion.You are very hard at it on the painting table!
ReplyDeleteMonty, I have a Reconquista blitz underway in an attempt to keep pace with Jake.
