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!

  2. Very nice indeed. Good job on the embroidered flowers on the way their clothes. I use paint pens for that sort of thing as my brush skills aren't really up to it.

    1. Thanks Martin, my tools of choice are a very old brush and cocktail stick. I hadn't considered paint pens, will investigate.
