1/72 Parthians

[SV52]

Originally only did half of each box, all done now:

Very nice. I see they are using the new style flexi-spears.

Very difficult to parry.

It was a tough decision:

Plastic would break easy
Metal, I'd get stabbed
Went for the Hollywood bendy spears thoughtfully provided with the figures

Have you tried plastic brush bristles? Straight but flelxible and if you flatten one end you can cut the spearhead diamond shape. My mate uses them for his phalangites and ECW pikemen and says they work a treat.

Very nice indeed

Take care

Thanks folks, comments appreciated as always.

I got some a while back but couldn't get them fine enough for 1/72, especially when the hands have to be drilled.  I'll have another look, thanks for the suggestion.
