Still got plenty to keep this project on track with an order from Pendraken and some buildings from the baggage train on their way

This one's another from Leven, I modified the door to fit the scale of the figures better, needs a tidy up at some point but it'll fo for now

Ah, Leven Miniatures...? I did wonder where the buildings had come from (you've probably mentioned, elsewhere, on this thread - I'll have a look).
Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

My Pendraken order arrived this morning so I spent the afternoon putting Arthur's companions together



Haven't used greenstuff for years but I'm enjoying this project, the Late Roman figures have a solid foundation to work with

Thanks, it was an attempt to make a 6mm large tower fit in 10mm scale. I think it helps do that

Havn't go the hang of the Chi-Rho design so decided to keep it simple

 :-bd I'll, also, state that I like how you've based them too.

I've made a mess of my individually based 10mm miniatures in the past, putting too much on to the base and crowding out/hiding the figure with basing stuff meant for larger sized figures. I must remember to have a look at these photos when I come back to doing 10mm foot figures.

It's a pretty simple approach, I mount the figure with superglue, coat with pva and dip in a 80/20ish fine sand, ground green flock mix while the pva is still tacky I dip again is a tub with small stones. What stays gets pressed in. Finally I'll add a bit of green flock here and there if it's looking a bit bland

Leave it to dry and coat with watered down pva glue to seal them in

Arthur's Romano-British are done



Now need to look at some additional characters, finish the terrain and put together some questing monsters
