Spartans at War - 75mm

[phil_h]

Hello Everybody,

After a two year break, it's great to finally show my first completed project. It's the three figure diorama "Spartans at War" from Big Child Creatives. The figures were cast very nicely, required minimum prep time, and were a lot of fun to paint.

Here is where I add the usual disclaimer... Exclusively done in oils

Thanks for looking,
- Phil

Well done Phil you have certainly come back after the lengthy break with all guns blazing, a very informative SBS and an excellent result, looking ahead I cant wait till you get your hands on your Iron Maiden order to see what you do with those but in the meantime keep posting here as it's great to see what you have on the bench.

Thanks Nap! Yeah, those caps are fantastic, and to be honest, a little intimidating!! They do make the figures much more dynamic though.
