Not unless I am using it as a swizzle stick.

As I'll be tending bar on Friday evening, you'll both have reserved spots - on the floor, against the wall, next to the beer coolers! I'm sure Brad and the boys will have their usual selections - for medicinal purposes, of course!

Sounds like our own 'Cheers'...where everybody knows our name Thanks Don...see you Friday.

A bit over due for an update here. I have skipped some of the indepth painting to show you all the current status of the figures. If you are interested in the leather work and the insides of the shields simply check my blog posts (found on the blog side of the Planet). These 360 degree pics are prior to my attaching the shields.

And........ last but not least, with the shields attached. The insides of the shields have been painted prior to attaching and now I will focus on the outside markings. The spear points won't go on until just prior to attachment on the base as they will pop off if hit by accident. Once everything is done I will be weathering the pieces to unify them with the base and depict the battle wear and tear. Enjoy.

Excellent progress Jim! I like your choice of colours.

Cheers,

Before posting photos of the completed piece I wanted to post pics of the shields as they progressed through painting. Again as always, everything painted in oils.

Nice to see them come alive!
