Thracian shields on!

The Little Big Men Studios decals are on, and I may have misjudged some of them but en masse they look good. Disappointingly the Carthaginian shield decals I thought I had do not transfer. Maybe they are old stock and had a completely different method? 

Anyway, I'm ready to assemble them onto bases this coming weekend!

The Thracian project is nearing its end! Over the week, I've added pretty much all detail needed. Now, I'm carefully re-mounting minis that I hope to give shield decals. They are Little Big Men Studios Thracian and Carthaginian and as a nice change of pace they are actually scaled for 1/72!

I've hit the tipping point between looking "in progress" and "nearing completion." Amazing what clumsy colored lines on cloaks has done. 

Still to do: plenty of detail yet on the horses; all flesh and face detail, metal.

Just a little bit of color added...

Got all the horses base coated now, but not much else happened

Just a little more done...

This is a slow-lane project. I'm currently distracted by soloing a rewrite of my old version of Tunnels & Trolls. Soloing a rewrite? Yes I was struggling to match rules and structure so instead, I am playing a game and writing about the rules as they apply, in-game. 

Anyway...

Smacked some Vallejo moon yellow down over the weekend, and I was surprised by the high proportion of Thracians needing more tunic or pants blocked out. Pale yellow is a great base color for green and reddish, so that's two more easy colors. Then I'll try to do the geometric designs on cloaks and shields.
