Modelling Workshop

Yeah, cleaning a bit the figs before using the red one it sticks ok.

The other thing that might work to help the putty to stick to the model is to warm the metal a bit P.....Close under a lamp for example.
Not sure with the new putty, as I haven't tried it yet.....But I find a bit of warmth often helps get green stuff to 'key' to metal.
Hope that helps !!

Thanks Techno, in this case, the issue was to stick the red one to the GS, but I´ll try the heating solution.

Also, guys, I have a doubt concerning the siracusan commander. The original idea was to arm him with a machaira, greek or italic one (former straight and longer than the greek) but I´m considering to arm him with a xyston, thoughts?

[Phobos]

Well, the siracusan mounted command finished.

Superb sir!

[Hertsblue]

Yes, excellent. 

[hetairoi]

Great figs! Very versatile.

[Phobos]

Now I notice that I forgot some things, like the hild of the sword or the straps of the standard bearers... damn, I´ll made it tomorrow

[Techno]

 
Don't worry Phobos !....We've all done it !
It's very odd how little things can be missed.....and you don't notice until later on.
Cheers - Phil.

Siracusan foot general



Roman consul




And roman standards. Vexillum, capitoline wolf and eagle.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Good standards! Set the standards high I see.
Will you do cohort standards with honours too?

Why do generals all go about waving swords high above their heads?

[Fenton]

Why do generals all go about waving swords high above their heads?

cos they can ...there Generals!

Why do generals all go about waving swords high above their heads?

They probably have special light-weight general swords made for them; hollow cast in a light aluminium alloy filled with helium... just so their arms don't grow tired...?

Stonewall Jackson held a lifelong belief that one of his arms was longer than the other, and thus usually held the "longer" arm up to equalize his circulation.

Perhaps this a common delusion among generals of all periods? 

[Hertsblue]

The common delusion amongst generals of all periods was that they could command troops. Not many were proved right.
