Gallic Cavalry...

Nice to get these chaps finished, they were taking up a large amount of space on my modelling desk (causing project stack overflow..)

Roman Gatehouse - completed

Finished off the gatehouse using my favorite materials - paper sheet and thin card (I had to make up the dark stone sheet with tile banding); the little windows are also images printed on paper; the flagstones are a section cut from a slef-adhesive vinyl mosaic tile.

Oh fuzz ! perhaps it need some gates too !

Roman gate - work in progress

A side gate for a roman fort, made from foamboard, initial shell walls on base (using rubber bands to hold together while the glue goes off).

With side walls and roof added, the shell is completed

Next phase is to finish off - will post piccy when finished.

Toga man ...

Been working for a while on a roman chap in a toga; he's modelled using a 1/32 Scaletrix style spectator figure which originally had a cap - the last layer of green stuff has gone off so he's ready to paint

civilians - work in progress

A small selection of civilians,  women and children are modified 1/32 plastic figures - one to be a female  gallic warrior; the roman chap in a toga is the horrible histories Caeser figure cut down and re-modelled with a new head.

The gauls have a (little) feast ....

In the new regional capital of Botulinum, the governor Quintus Lascivious is discussing the option to station some legionary troops in the city, in addition to the auxiliaries already there.

 

---oXo---

 

Meanwhile oblivious to the goings on in Botulinum, the gauls decide to have a small feast.....

 

Vitalstatistix exclaims - "Let the stuffing commence !"

 

Impedimenta tells Obelix he's not getting near what's being roasted

(otherwise he'd pig the lot ...)

 

One of the guests checks out the side tables

 

Getafix tries to stop Cacofonix from singing

 

Asterix chats up one of the local ladies

 

The overall scene

Some seated figures...

Two Italeri gauls converted to sitting poses plus two Scaletrics seated spectators - all in the progress of being converted. The aim is to have some specific seated figures for a vignette and a couple of generic ones - e.g. for a cart driver.
