Is the armour/helmets etc painted in silver? It looks a bit like gunmetal, or is it my eyes?

[chriswil42]

The paint is a mr metal color described as stainless. Not quite as bright as silver but brighter than gun metal.

First line of the phalanx ready for battle. These take a while to paint.

Great painting. Are they waiting for the heicopter to land before attacking?

Could be. I once read an SF novel about a civilisation which discovered space travel before gunpowder. Quite an interesting tale.

Up on Hadrian's Wall at the moment, imbibing all things Roman.
We visited the Corbridge site yesterday, it never fails to amaze me just how advanced the Romans were.

Enjoy your time - I expect a set of Roman figures will be your next project 
The Romans put us to shame - us modern people are still trying to sort how how they did some of the things they achieved.

They have only recently worked out the constituents of their concrete which self heals small cracks.

Takes some beating I believe.
Just been to Vindolanda, my Dad took me in 1967, there was only a milepost to see, a bit different now.

I could do the whole of Hadrian's Wall in 1/72 scale. No, ok, my room is not big enough!

[MSea]

How about 1/35 scale - just think of the detail - hohhoho

[chriswil42]

Maybe 1/350th?
