Early Imperial Roman Infantry Kitbash

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked them and the background. If you knew what a pain they were to pose and stand with these relatively weak joints, you'd know why I felt I was settling for "presentable." I think with stronger joints they would have posed even better and I could have done something more creative. But the type of "chain" mail used here made these bodies and their detachable arms pretty much a must (although there are now some narrow-shouldered detachable-arm World Box bodies, too).

Fantastic work!

Very authentical Roman soldiers to me. I like the sandals and the heads are well choosen as ever. I can see R. Crowe in the HS.

Thank you very much, Ephiane. The sandals, luckily, came pre-made (from various companies), and so did the heads. I just put them together. And yes, that is definitely a rendition of good old Russell. Apparently he can be difficult, but I can't help but like the guy...

Nicely detailed for something so small! How long did it take to make?
