Fantastic! 

Can't wait to see the Principes!

BTW... your Numidan Army is also very cool.

Painting looks awesome.

I’m considering if I should do Punic Xyston next and I have a quibble... it looks like the spears are not in the hands, is that right, was it not possible, was there a prob with the casts or are you in need of the ”doll’s house” tiny hand drill set?

Thanks for the kind words. @Mc-deli, yes, I did start to use a pin-vice on the first batch but found that I was removing too many hands and so resorted to snipping away with a sharp pair of scissors. It was successful for the most part, but after doing three hundred of them there were a few where my motivation flagged. Thankfully at 15mm it is not really overly noticeable, although it does stick out when blown up to this extent.

Where’s the like button!

I found a teeny tiny set of interchangeable teeny tiny hand drill bits in a dolls house shop that have coped well with the Xyston hands I have thrown at them so far... but yeah... my patience will also wear after 300 of the little so-and-sos!

Really cool painting - well done!
