@clive Thats the best 'on topic' youtube link ever!! Very funny.

Horrible histories... You can't beat em!

Thanks everyone.

@Mikeland - to be fair, I only prefer the Royalists because they have nicer beards, you can't hold that against someone (the opinion, not the beard)

And @ everyone - re: romans - with my track record for impulse buying, you probably want to start a sweepstake...

My more whimsical take on the whole boudicca thing would be Molly Weasley as a more motherly warrior-queen:

[clivethecelt]

@Ney Bother: Molly Weasley is a good choice - motherly until one of her brood is in danger, then ...
And don't let these clean-shaven Romans convince you that theirs' is the only way ... if you want fine facial hair, the Celts must surely be your first choice!!

But the Roman Auxilaries can be quite hirsuite too - especially those Germans

Speaking of hairy celts... Do all the Warlord games celts wax their chests? They have hairy heads but all seem to lack chest hair.

They must do - otherwise they would have problems painting on the woad

Although, it doesn't follow that they should have hairy chests just because of hairy heads. I mean, I'm virtually bald headed......

Well I'm getting on quite well with my painting......only problem is my camera has just broken, so no pics today.....in fact i guess it won't be for a while as I'll need to find somewhere local that will do it!!!....doesn't seem to want to focus makes terrible noises and then switches to some sort of error code on the view screen.....oh well i'm sure it will mean something to someone!.....I've tried a few things.......taking out the memory card and putting it back in...same with battery.....then generally tapping and shaking it.......not much else to do
technology is great....until it goes wrong!

So anyway no work in progress shots, only completed model some way down the line!
Boudicca completely base coated, Hair and flesh finished.....Leonidas nearly finished but I'm about to add him to his new Rock....made this time from Green stuff......The mold worked well and i have a nice replica made from something softer than granite.....My drill will be pleased.....but it's too late for the 1mm drill bit!!!!

I guess no camera means more painting, and less posting!

have a great weekend everyone!

Maybe all the really (bodily) hirsute ones cover up - more prestige for a big moustache or beard?
