Renovating Ancients - 2nd Batch

A few more Persians and some Romans received a scrub up.

Persian ally medium infantry by Minifigs:
These Hinchliffe Persian archers were in a right state. Most of the paint had worn away and all the bows were broken off. These were replaced with wire and they were given a new paint job:
Finally, three Minifigs S Range Roman heavy infantry take to the field:

    I particularly like the Persian archers, a lovely paint job. The Romans look like they mean business as befits EIR figures. Great work.

    Great to see new life given to these older figures. The Romans at bottom are really lovely.

    Best Regards,

      I think the old 1970s castings beat the modern offerings hands down.

    Seeing the Romans brings back memories of the old Minifigs catalogue that had the grainy pictures - always like the looks of those!

      I still have that catelogue and it has been fun working out what each figure is portraying. I have a heap more Romans to paint as yet.
