I really should have started on the Victrix Celtic Chariots, but felt a little diversion was needed. Here are the Expeditionary Force Romans with a Minwax stain over a very basic block paint job applied with a fairly large brush.

For „toy soldiers,“ these are very impressive. Not only are the heads and arms interchangeable and poseable, but the weapons are made with harder plastic and don’t have the bendy issue with softer plastics. The detailing is quite good too – most of the expected items are nicely sculpted. A Victrix 28mm Roman in front for scale comparison.

Prior to the staining; with the Celts and shields in the background. I used rattle can spray paint for the base coating. The rest of the areas were mostly painted with Apple Barrel craft paint which I picked up for .50 cents a bottle.

Thanks for allowing this indulgence and wishing you all the best in hobby and health.
