Another project to suddenly stagger to fruition in the last week has been a load of stripped and repainted Mirliton 15mm Medievals - lovely figures that my previous paint job really didn't do justsice to.
This time around they have all been done with white undercoat (Halfords matt white car undercoat) and the main colours have been added with GW Contrast paints for a bit more "ping".
I've also done printed shields - some stuck onto the Mirliton shields, and some just made out of cardboard and cut to shape. These are the results:
All of these designs were found on Pinterest - the "fish" one on the right in particular is way too detailed for me (or I imagine anyone..) to paint in 15mm, however the other two also come out really strongly too.
The ones on the left are Mirliton shields, with designs just printed on our home printer, glued on with PVA, trimmed with a very sharp scalpel (new blade time!) and then gloss varnished after painting in the edges. The ones on the right are glued onto cardboard and cut to shape.
These are two bases of Polearm men - the printed out designs are probably a bit too large for the shields here I think in retrospect,.
The pavises on the left here are a mix of pictures of real pavises in museums, and re-enactors designs I found on Pinterest.
I still have a few more to do, but this is starting to creep towards enough mixed units to field a Medieval Scandinavian army !
