Hi! After some times dedicated to painting 28mm Orcs, I'm back to 1/72 Ancient figures. Today, some Gallic warriors, to be based as a DBA army in the near future.
As usual, a mix of figures by several manufacturers: Hät, Revell, Airfix, Newline Design, Caesar, Linear A, Italeri. More pictures and explanations on the blog: philotepsfigures.blogspot.com/2024/05/a-gallic-army-for-dba.html |

Very nice, though they look equally good as British, with those 'Battersea' shields!--and the Boudicca in her chariot! |

Thank you Herkybird! You're absolutely right, they look even more Britons than Gauls, and I intend to play them with those two lists. |

Fantastic work. It looks like all those brands are the Airfix-like soft plastic. Just wondering what technique you use to keep the paint from flaking off with the first bend of the spear or sword, which has been a major deterrent to me to using more soft plastic figures. I've finally discovered a method which does a good job of preventing the all-to-prevalent flaking, but it took a couple of decades. What your secret? |

Combining the various manufacturers really creates a great look for the unit! Well done! |
