More GB Plastic Late Romans

[Suetonius Paullinus]

I've tried out a slightly different paint scheme for them today and inspired by my recent trip to Hadrian's Wall I wanted them to have Renedra's lovely new bases.
Problem were the rather thick integrated bases..cutting them off made the figures appear really small-ish so I decided to carve them into flagstones and hope they blend in enough to 'disappear'.



What do you think?

Looks okay to me.

I myself cut off the bases, be they plastic or lead, and glue the figures on a washer to paint. After painting I stick them on their scenic base.

Looks good. From the picture I wouldn't have noticed if you would not have mentioned it.
Your painting style helps, too.

Excellent work - they look very good.   Great paint scheme and I love the bases.   Gives me ideas for bases of troops on the walls of fortified camps.

Thanks

Hi SP,

Lovely painting!   I'm thinking about trying some of these- how do they compare with the Gripping Beast metals for size?  Are the shields similar to the smaller GB shield size, or the larger?

Cheers, Simon

Very nice indeed, I'm waiting for plastic Late Roman cav myself.

I think they are very slightly smaller than the smaller of the 2 shield sizes on the metal legionaries, but pretty close. I would check with GB if the transfers for those shields would fit, they might, because the plastic rims are a bit thinner than the metal.

Good job on the basing it works well.

Nice brush work too!
