Just spotted I was in danger of not posting anything for a whole month ! So what has happened to May ? First a splendid week and a bit in sunny Naples, so much history not even sure where to start, don’t worry I’m not going to download all my holiday day by day. Then a busy week and a bit shifting furniture from one end of the country to the other settling my son into his new house in London and a flying visit to Partizan. And then I have been struck down again with a nasty chest infection, my health has definitely been under par for a while now but the Doctor doesn’t seem to have found a cause or solution I’m hoping things will improve ?
Anyway all this coughing means I have only just got back to painting, lots of stuff is nearly complete but not ready to share yet.
A couple of squads of Imperial Guard, these were old figures I have had for ages but never got painted
The colour scheme to match the other Tallarn as shown above. I now have some command figures to clean up a prep, then the army is pretty much completed for now ?
I also picked up a command vehicle a Taurox from eBay for a reasonable price so I have painted this to match everything else.
So on to Naples pretty much everyday was filled with history and fuelled by seafood and local wine ! The history spans Greek occupation of the area, of course massive Roman influence then the 16/17 and 18th Century. Whilst some history from WW2 this is quite hard to find on the ground. So first up some Greek stuff, mainly from the many museums we visited.
A great collection of Greek helmets
Greek frescoes
More Greek armour
And many splendid Greek vases here fighting the dreaded Persians !
Next up some more painting and some Roman history.
Thanks as always Matt 🤒
