Kontos or Lance length

[Andrew66]

I think I’ve been too long in lockdown, thinking too much , but here goes. How long would you have your kontos on a 28mm figure. Modern sources put the length at around 12 to 14 ft so at a 1:56 scale that’s 65 to 75 mm , some say the 100mm spears from north star look right but that would be the equivalent of 18 ft  basically a sarissa , views opinions welcome

I used quite long kontos (as opposed to kontarion) in these speed painted Justinians..... must have been 2005!!!



Certainly oversized but I went for effect.

Beautiful figures , and even though the kontos looks right in actual terms  it is 18 ft long ,still who would look at that when they are attached to an amazing paint job
