1/72 Scale Growing...

ANOTHER FOLLOWS SUIT

After my going on about the success of my experiment with 1/72 scale figures, one of our regulars – Mike Z. – decided to give it a try with some Imperial Romans. Now bear in mind, Mike hates painting figures – he will only play games with vehicles or prepainted figures. After his efforts though, he is sold on the idea of the 1/72 scale figures!

Mike’s Romans are from Caesar Miniatures which have a nice mix of poses for skirmish armies (Mike’s goal with this first batch). Mike painted 22 of the figures intermittently over a couple of nights at the shop. He used the same techniques I outlined in my blog entry about the British Paratroopers I painted. Unfortunately my camera can’t do justice to his paint job, but suffice it to say that given the little time and effort it took Mike the results were spectacular! Mike is very proud of how they turned out, and rightly so for his first foray into figure painting:

You will notice in the background are some German WWII Infantry that I painted up using the same techniques. I now have someone to skirmish with my Brits! Now onto the next group…

Until next time – Happy Gaming!
