1. Some examples of freehand designs on Greek hoplon shields inspired by illustrations in Peter Connolly’s Greece and Rome at War from original vase designs  2. Shield designs embossed on to the model  3. Simple striped or chevroned designs on Byzantine warriors  4. Freehand medieval blazons  5. Flag designs for SYW figures using Hat SYW Prussians painted up as SYW Saxons (Ordinarfahne – Prinz Friedrich August Infantry) and SYW Russians (Colonel Flag Preobrazensky Guard) - Kronoskaf.com website  Many thanks Paul |

Simply superb. I'm particularly admiring of the animals featured, as one who tends to paint various versions of 'ducks' when I add an eagle or such!
Not a silly question at all, but I reckon 1/72 'Lunch', based on items in the background and size in general. If true, it makes them all the more impressive, doesn't it? I'll be as interested as you to read the answer.
A fine, fine contribution. Thank you Paul.
Regards, James

I feel a bit silly asking this but what scale are these? I dont think their 1/72... The Greeks looks Like Expeditionary Force to me, so 60mm why oh why did they choose that scale?
Still nicely done...

Thanks to the Hat moderator for posting these. And thanks to all of you for the appreciative comments. They are all in 1:32 (or more like 54-60cm) I think I would struggle to be able to paint up 1:72 in the same way though some of you are capable of excellent detailed paint work. I have always had the larger scale since I was a kid. The smaller scale models didn't really exist back in the 1950s. Airfix 00 were just beginning by the 1960s

Ironsides, you are right about these being Expeditionary Force. The Byzantines are Engineer Basevitch and the knights are from Replicants |
