Antoine,
I like the improved Carthaginian figures. Those do not look like Essex, what manufacturer are they? |

Wow. Then you have made an exceptional transformation that they are not easily recognized as Essex. Well done. |

Hi Antoine - great photos and interested in this period myself. Are these the Essex 28mm or 15mm figures. I was trying to work out the scale from the photos but failed. Thanks Peter

Thanks Peter Hi, the figures are mostly Essex apart from the Teutonic Knights (mirliton) and a few Xyston Gauls (cavalry). it is of course 15mm, the best scale for DBA in my opinion (and good for lazy painters like me  ). |

Lazy painter? --Pshaw! You do great work that obviously involves careful, time-consuming effort, especially on all your terrific, hand-painted shield designs. Well done!

Those look great. I love the shields. I tried using pens and didn't have good results. Perhaps the pens weren't good enough quality. It didn't help that the wash dissolved them too!
