Very nice as usual Paul.

Lovely.

I have been working on those sets for an Impetus army. Great sculpts and very clean casting........but the floppy plastic is dreadful stuff to work with. You have brought them up really nicely.

I wish HaT would go back to the semi rigid plastic like Airfix, Italeri, Revell etc

Thanks

Agreed.
The plastic is pretty bad for things like spears and swords and  takes paint similar to when painting a bar of soap. Very easy to work with for conversions though, the real pain comes when it has flash..virtually impossible to remove!!!
