Looking good.  I hope I can do mine justice like this when I get around to them

Okay so been a bit absent as busy with business.  Not been idle though.  So here are the Sassanids all based up. There are some extra infantry since this picture.  Might look at doing a Painting challenge before xmas of 48 hours and videoing for FB & YT channels.



Been basing some late Romans up too so hopefully can finish those soon

Well the 2 command bases are undercoated.  In the queue lol.

In the meantime have finished the elephants and crew.  Kept the decoration on the cloths simple for now.  I can eleaborate later if I am feeling brave  .

Command bases coming on nicely. Forged in Battle elephants and PSC additions.

I think using a variety of figures on bases for armies such as Huns makes them more interesting like Shaun said. Plus definitely pimp up your Commander bases it's fun

Hi Mark

It's all relative really.  Yes they are a bit more hassle than normal plastic as you can't tidy up any mold lines you missed with a bit of liquid polystyrene cement. Number 1 trick for plastic.

But on any figure you tidy up flash, vents an mold lines. On metal you have to file them and have potential for loosing details.  But it all depends on your personal approach to prep.  I know a lot of people who are happy to leave mold lines before paint.  That's fine. Metal ranges have there issues too like some of the Forged in Battle stuff.

The 2 takeaways:

1. Cost The value you get is brilliant when you compare them like for like.
2. How do they look when they are painted up? I can let you know that shortly as I have almost finished the elephants and will post them here shortly.

I suspect there was certain amount of a rush due to Salute cancelled and demand but these things will sort themselves out I am sure.  It's a new range.  I am awaiting the gauls to do some comparisons and look how those are.

I am a bit behind joining here but will try to bring you all up to date.

My PSC Sassanid Pacto based up minus a few elements.  Trying to get photo storage sorted - apologies for watermark

Call me old fashioned (Or just old  ) but I have still undercoated mine.  Think long term this will be more durable.

Did bit of experimenting with glue and plastic glues don't work. I have used superglue and in future would recommend using cocktail stick to apply some of the finer items like the spears for the Sassanid Cavalry

I did do a vid on FB page about prepping with one of the elephants if helps anyone
