and a few Gauls more ...

More gauls finished - the last batch I made up before moving onto work on the gallic cavalry...
A rummage through the spares box, yielded enough bodies, heads and arms to complete three more gauls
The gallic cavalry have made it to the painting table.

Roman Artillery - completed

Catapult and ballistas lined up and looking ready for action....
the catapults load is a small pebble from the garden. A quick look at the centurion's shield - first attempt at a stick on label,sealed with satin varnish.

Roman Artillery - work in progress..

I delved into my spares box and used up most of the spare Call-to-Arms romans I had left and most of my spare arms; to make some new crew for my ballistas (the ones that came with them were just noticably too small)
then some crew for a catapult, the catapult is from a Horrible Histories toyset, had a few mod's in this piccy
I then went on to add a basic winding mechanism for it.. looks alright ...
will be finishing off the catapult - will move straight on to paint the crews - some romans will be painted at last....
