Completed Minoans for ADG

[Irregular Wars Nic]

LOL, thanks for all the praise guys. No pressure for me to keep it up then!?

But I need some help now. The camp will be 80x60mm. I'm not sure whether to do a truncated beach scene, with the tent FAR too close to the water, or a fully dry scene, allowing for more freedom of placing the different elements of the camp, but perhaps raising eyebrowsa as to why the ship is there...

I propose a truncated beach scene, with minimum (if not at all) water. As the vessel is light, it could be fully drawn out on the beach... So, you might make just a few mm look like the edge of the water. The rest will be a sandy beach of course. You exploit the longitude of the base, so as the tent(s) to be the further possible from the water.

By the way, I found something interesting for you, Greek Age of Bronze -Ships

Here we go gents (and sundry ladies - I know you are out there!). More photos and details of what I did can be found on the blog. http://irregularwars.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/adg-setting-up-minoan-camp.html

I have finally finished my first two second divisions of 6mm Minoans for l'Art de la Guerre. Now it s just the heavy division to go!





More on the blog as always.

Lovely colour schemes, but where are the topless lassies vaulting over bulls?

I did convert a lady wearing an open front Minoan dress for my camp. More than that is asking to much for my limited talents! 😉

[Melnibonean]

These look great. Love the conversions on your boats.

Wonderful indeed

[von Lucky]

Gorgeous. They'd be impressive at 15mm. The fact they're around 3 times samller than that is admirable.

[Irregular Wars Nic]

Thanks gents. Progress is slow, but updates are forthcoming... or will be... eventually...

I reckon that's the death certificate for an Ancients version of Irregular Wars then?

Very nice armies, though. And one of my favourite topics, if all in the 'wrong' scale. Honestly admire your clean paintjobs on those tiny buggers.
