yep - the shields aren't bad for freehand.

I just need Biggles to get his Decline and Fall games going

I also need a mate like Pete. Pete is really cool. Lots of free-hand there.

Amazing army, I'm envious.

Those are especially great:

Splendid  :-* :-*

I noticed that you mentioned on the blog about re-basing for Hail Cesaer, looking at what you have I don't think you would have to do that. As long as the distinction is there between unit sizes and your opponant/s are based similar you'll be fine  :)

When he turns his mind to it, Peter can do fantastic freehand work. I have some 15mm Late Romans he painted may years ago and the designs are as good as these. I will need to dig out and photograph.

Pete still uses Humbrol enamels. I really think that there is a depth of colour that he gets from them that is usually lacking with acrylics.

Pretty sure it's more up to the painter and less to the colors, Pete is just a great free-hand painter.

Nice looking hatra ballista!

bit off topic, but here are some 15mm strip (1st edition) Minifig hoplites he did as well.



Strange, but these really are my favourite figures!Must have something to do with the fact they were the first metal figures I ever had.
