Hinchliffe Egyptian Heavy Infantry

 Another refurbishment, this time some 25mm Ancient Egyptians.  I bought them secondhand and they had simply been sprayed white and were missing their weapons.  Once again I have used Warlord metal spears. cut down to size.  The figures represent heavy infantry with hardened leather helmets and body armour.  Shields are animal hide:

My next project, close to completion, is a unit of Hinchliffe 25mm Prussian Cuirassiers.

The Young Pretender

 I painted this figure some time ago but never got around to posting the picture.  The Young Pretender is encouraging the troops, originally from the Bob Black collection.  The 54mm Bonnie Prince Charlie figure is from Steve Weston Figures and is painted using Speed Paints.  

I got rid of the original horse and replaced it with a Britains Deetail show jumper mount:

The tartan trews and cloak looked a bit of a challenge, but I borrowed a technique seen on Youtube, that emplos crisscross lines and spots.  It worked quite well.

Hinchliffe 25mm Persian Infantry

 I acquired some rather sad looking Hinchliffe Persian infantry (AP6) that had been poorly painted and were missing their weapons:

I thought it would be fun to give them a new lease of life as there were enough to make up a unit:

Another fun project.  The spears came from Warlord and I cut them down to size.  A word of warning, they are sharp!

Hinchliffe 25mm Philistine Infantry

 I acquired these figures in a rather poor state, with no weapons.  I thought it would be fun to do them up, giving them some spears and a lick of paint.

They turned out quite well and are off to join my Egyptian army:
