Now then Cap'in Haddock,

As always I'm  in awe of your skill and approach to the models you make. This one is yet another excellent example that impresses. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Well said Francis!

Great stuff Chris

Well done, Francis

Go for it Kevin!
I've got one of these with Xtradecals for a Coastal Command A/C
Looking forward for any tips!

Looks good!
This pics thing is spreading, they look great!

Looks good Bill!
Could almost be tempted myself!

Have stuck arms, legs and body together for all three and primed.
That's as far as it can go until a lot of painting is done.
There is a lot of bronze, helmets, shields armour etc, which will tend to make it all a bit monotonous,
so I think I may need to put some variation into the colouring.
 I will do the lead guy as a Spartan, and the others as "normal" hoplites.. This will allow some variation in clothing colours.
The three figures are also sculpted with differing levels of "quality" in their armour, the lead one obviously being on a more senior level.

As an aside, you will notice different colours of primer. The darker two figures are primed with Humbrol Primer £5.50,
and the lead one with a can of "Colour It" that I got from Boyes for £2  It dried (if dried is the word) semi gloss and remained
tacky for several days. It might be that I did not rattle the can well enough, but it is in the dustbin now!
The Humbrol stuff is a bit  (lot!) dark ......
