I had a devil of a time finding pics of 15mm Legion/Arab games and miniatures for inspiration and to see how people painted Arabs and all that. Hopefully, as crappy as these are, they'll exist for others who like to cast an aye over this Old School stuff.
My friend managed to record March or Die off the television in the early 80's and we watched it constantly and mail ordered off to Modelers Mart for forces of our own. Both of us were brand spanking new to painting and though our resources were limited being 12-13 years old we had a blast re-fighting that dig site scene at the end.
Many of these weren't cleaned of flash, washed, or sealed. They were just primed in white and the oldest ones were mostly just stained with thinned down Polly S paints.
Funny enough, I think the Stone Mountain guys came from our own Dinofwar2's Eric Burgess as I recognize the old basing style in his rules for Legion games I found at link There weren't any Arabs for sale but I bought a small Legion force at Historicon one year primed brown and permanently affixed to washers.
At any rate, a disaster compelled me to rebase all them that I'd been slowly adding to over the years and they looked pretty cool so I thought I'd share. I have some cavalry that needs the new basing treatment and a new Mule Company unit in the works painted up to my modern standard.
I posted a similar link at LAF but questions, comments and followers are welcome!
