Splendid paint jobs on these miniatures Matt...
I remember painting a load of plaid on some Jacobites I am sure it effected my mind....
I started dreaming about Tartan.... ...

I do hope you are going to have a parade... or whatever the collective term for Gauls is.

All the best.   Aly

Thank you Aly,

It certainly “I am in the mood” to paint it consistency. There is no easy way around it.

I will pull them out for the birthday parade I think in March, although working on my Wargames room “the Salon de Guerre” and my table, perhaps for the grand opening later in March.

A update about the Gallic fortress 5 Klm from our Maison, I regularly walk along the Mayenne River below it so with the spring weather I decided to make it a morning and have taken some photos of the site.

The site is 135 hectares in total, although most of the remains are within the 14 hectare inner fortress.



Brown: the whole city site.
Red : inner and outer walls, up to 8m in some locations
Grey: 2011 archeological dig area 9klm long, later the motorway was built here.
White : current roads
Blue: Mayenne and L'Aaron rivers
Black: current property boundaries

A small report on the blog

Next up more figures, then I will put together a small report on the museum.

Cheers
