Persian Immortals at the Battle of Plataea 479 BC
« on: January 28, 2023, 10:16:27 AM »
Got these to do at the last playday but never got round to starting them - so its the job for playday12. 
Easy job to remove the base from each figure and drill a hole for a wire support - can do lots of chatting while this is being done.  Base and rock made with Plaster of Paris and will add static grass when dry.  Before ChrisW tells me that the Immortals had a total number of 10,000 men and that I have only got 42 figures - this model is to try and improve my painting skills, Howard is going to check every face to make sure I don't get the eyes wrong - hohhoho good luck with that one Howard.
