Today I took this photo of my Gentian-
These are my 25mm Admin Celts.The base is full of captured roman and other standards and weapons.They are due to be sacrificed to the gods by being thrown into a sacred pool.They are figures filled with character and I hope to do them justice with my painting.I have around sixty to finish.
I got out my copy of "Vanished Armies by A Haswell Miller for inspiration for painting my 42 mm figures I have hummed and hawed about. My eyes alighted on a private from German Infantry Regt No 45,guard order seen by Miller in Salzburg.
I have made him part of the regiment's bicycle section-
The folded bicycle ,carried on the back,is a bookmark//paper clip folded in half.I feel it looks a little big for 42mm figures ( possibly better suited to 54mm) but I think I just about get away with it.I think this plucky Austro -Hungarian toy soldier has style anyway.What do you think?
That 42mm chap looks lovely, I was a bit confused at first as to what the thing on his back was.
ReplyDeleteThe Gentian is no slouch either.
I'm sorry I hear about Jans bloods. Chemo is an endurance race. I hope and pray that next week will be better.
I prayed for Jan this am...Jeff
