Lusitanian baggage built around a bull fight - posted by Russell Briant, 3 September 2023

Here is three commands’ worth of Lusitanian baggage built around a bull fight.
The bull is a 3D print by Potbelly Miniatures from a Northern Crusades Miniature oxen STL but with its yoke trimmed off. Also printed by Che from Northern Crusades STLs are the stone wall and the bullock pulling the cart of honey jars.
The blacksmith and the woman holding two children are resin miniatures from Reaper.
Three children and their dog running away from the angry anciana and her upset apple basket are a lucky find at Kapiti Hobbies. Warlord Games Celtic civilians.

The Lusitanian matador and the bullock holder are conversions from Victrix Miniatures using Iberian, Mardist parts and a Roman general’s cloak.

Bullfighting was going on in the Iberian peninsula from before Roman times.

Ole!

A Iberian chieftain stampeded his fighting bull herd to frighten the new Carthaginian elephant wunderwaffe. Hasdrubal Barca was killed in the resulting route.

Honey cart

The wall popped up ok with different colours picking out individual stones and the gate is a scratch build of something that might stop a charging bull.

….so, bullfighting practice seemed an appropriate baggage diorama.

Naughty, naughty… who upset the apple basket … the infamous four?

The ox holder might just be saying hola…. doesn’t seem smart to dis a large man holding a hammer and a pair of tongs..


An interested, possibly anxious, spectator or three seemed appropriate
