Great repair job mate. Reminds me of an incident as a child when I'd made a nice cavalry piece and decided to put in in the grass beside the street to view through binoculars from my bedroom window. I guess I wanted to see how realistic it looked. Anyhow a neighbors mum came home from shopping and took the driveway a bit wide and ran over it ! Smashed into numerous pieces and driven into the dirt. Surprisingly it wasn't that hard to restore it to almost it's original glory.
Bet the Samnites come out a treat!
Haha.. damn! We both have stories to share about how our precious toys went and broke. I know a few lads who like to do shots with their minis in grass and such, but they did not have anyone run over the minis!Right now those legions, despite repairing them, are now extremely fragile and I have to be ever so gentle with them. Before where I might have accidentally bumped a mini and it would be fine, no in the same situation I find some plumes and stuff fall off. They're certainly also beat up and dented. Paint can cover them a bit, but they'll never have the same structural integrity as before. I will continue to use them and wargame with them, but at some point I think they'll end up becoming the "loaner" army that I let other people play with if they don't have punic war stuff!I finished some more.. and I am very, very happy with them! I've also decided to put in the eyes for all my minis. Rule of thumb for this is to remember not to make the eyes much bigger than about half the nose, and the pupils tiny.. otherwise they all look like they're on something special... 4 more to go to finish the unit.
They look awesome! What color(s) are you using for their armor?
