One of the pre-Covid projects that I was in the early stages of, was my foray into 3rd Century AD Romans and their enemies. A part of that was a "quick" build Sassanid army using older vintage, 2nd hand figures that were at least part-painted and mostly unloved.
A buy of the elephant arm for this army met a catastrophic end thanks to the courier. A year later I have rebuilt the models and applied some bling.
