Hot news





This month some sad news....


Because I had a nice vacation in Sweden last month,
I tought to paint a figure in advance...
The wheather in Sweden wasn't to hot,
but here at home in the Netherlands the sun was burning.
Stupid me forgot to put the lid on my magnifier...

Here is the result of my hard work...


Seems this Gaul didn't like his skin color,
and tought to go sunbate a bit...


The sun first hit the cork I use as base...



Then went up to his feet, and up to the shield and ...




Destroyed hours of work...

But fortunately I had to laugh when I saw what happened.
But a shame for this nice figure, cause I need a few
Romains to complete my army...
So I will try to fiend some more..

Well this was my monthly post again,
this time without result,
but don't worry, there will be soon other Romains here!!!
