With the arrival of the very nice „lambda“ shield decals from Veni Vidi Vici, managed to complete the Spartan project. Here are the 64 spearman along with the earlier completed command.

I ordered sets of black and red „lambda“ decals. Jay at VVV was kind enough to locate some red ones which are currently shown out of stock on the website. Initially, I had planned to have the two units with the same colored shields, but decided to mix them up to give them a more varied look.

Ranking spearmen in thrusting poses takes a little bit of work, but pays off in the end.

The white linothorax gives a simple, but striking look when coupled with the crimson red tunics, IMHO. Interestingly there are two figures from one of the overarm thrusting packs wearing the older style bell cuirass – maybe a lucky family heirloom.

I took a lot of pictures from different angles – as I’m quite pleased with how they turned out.

Pardon the indulgence – they may look like the same photos, but I promise I moved the units around (movement trays are the bomb!).

And finally, a shot of the rear rank guys in underarm poses – just showing a little love for them as they’re hidden behind the overarm posed guys on the trays.

Okay, glad these guys are finally done – I can get back to some Bolt Action projects now. Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best in health and hobby pursuits!
