On The Painting Table
I've had a bit of a painting hiatus over the last year, but I am stepping it up again now.
Today's offering is an element of Nikophorian Byzantine Skutatoi [Bw(X/O)], sculpted by me.
I know that the shields for the archers are too big, but I like shields

Séamus IrelandThose figures look great. I really like them. Who makes the figures? Thanks.
Did I just read that you sculpted them?

Top contributorSéamus Ireland Yes I'm working on 3D sculpting, I'm certainly not that good, but getting better. I just get frustrated when needing figures for an army, and manufacturers, only make the main troops, and not all the extras. i.e. my first sculpt was an Assyrian Kallapani.

All-star contributorHi Séamus 'Dirkses' (as he is known for his gorgeous Persians) did indeed create the files and print the figures. Didn't he do well
Vincent CholewaAll-star contributor Nice work. I really like the kneeling pose of the front rank
Dirk HeinsiusTop contributor Really pleased with my chainmail on one of the archers. Took several goes as you need to make it really oversized, in order to print for 28mm
Vincent CholewaAll-star contributor Dirk Heinsius I read something similar in a book published for the 50th anniversary of Airfix.  Designers had to make some parts bigger than scale and leave off other parts to get the right effect.
Apparently it’s to do with how our brains make pictures and understand what we see. We know the model is not actually a person (or tank, plane etc.) seen at a distance and, more so, if they were real and we were seeing them at the distance to make them so small we would see none of the detail! Designers are clever. Well done
