I did manage to paint the 2nd unit of Principes, Aventine figures. This left me with only 1 more unit to paint to compete my Republican Roman army. However I bought 3 more units from 1st Corps on Sunday (only 90p per figure) to give me a full 10 cohorts. I do now have a definite plan for finishing the challenge with another completed army
Another 16 figs and 15 hand painted shields - 95 points I think.
As for next week I suggest that everybody gets a hard hat and moves to the Anderson Shelter.
Lovely stuff Martin - nice job on the shields they look consist as well. Oh dear what is he planning next week - maybe someone can take him to the pub!
Nice work Martin, and a belated happy birthday! :)

DeleteGreat looking mini's can we have a group shot at the end :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, I have the same one in three weeks time but will not be drinking at all LOL
Ian
Happy Birthday, I can strongly recommend the drinking at the time. The trick is not to stop
DeleteMany happy returns.
ReplyDeleteIf It makes you feel better I am too old for 2 hours of power-drinking! Nice looking troops and we will await the paint bomb next week and I am sure the wait will be worth it.
Ta, you can do a lot of drinking in 2 hours, just choose your weapon
DeleteHappy birthday - I think you spend a lot more time in the pub so I have a better chance of catching up - next round is on me!
ReplyDeleteThanks, happy to spend time in the pub, it's a place where I excel
Deletenice paintwork, congratulations! and happy 28th ;-)
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteHappy Birtyday and I must say I don't think I was up for 7 hours of power drinking when I was 21 I wouldn't try it now. Fine looking Romans.
ReplyDeleteIn my day I could do 18 but that was a long time ago. Ta
DeleteHappy birthday and nice Romans!
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteHappy birthday! And seven hours of power drinking...sounds like just what I need to get painting... :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent Romans!
Does look like you have twice as many figs to paint
DeleteHappy Birthday Martin. Those are some lovely Romans with terrific shields. Great work.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, really like painting shields now
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Martin. Lovely Romans! You just need to get back into training regards the drinking. After all, it's your 29th anniversary next year so you need to make a statement :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers. My drinking has really slowed in last 3 years but plenty of time to practice
DeleteGreat to see Romans like this. Happy Birthday to you and your liver. Cheers
ReplyDeletecheers
DeleteHappy 28, Martin! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Romans look very fine and I really dig the sheilds! Very nice red on em!
My condolences on the hangover, but my last one had me doing a PT test, a suprise PT test, the morning after. Since the US Army wore blues as standard uniform when I first enlisted, I only needed to have a pulse to pass. A two mile run hungover is not fun though, the alcohol fumes sweating out the pores were definitely toxic too. ;)
Cheers, that sounds horrible, nothing worst than sweating alcohol
Deletegreat work on the figures and to be young again!
ReplyDeletecheers, I have the body of a man who has seen a lot of life
