On the painting tray: May 2010

Last month was very productive, probably because I wasn't painting Romans: 18 Companions; a mounted Alexander figure; 72 Imitation Legionaries; and 36 Light Infantry.  All of these have been waiting to be redone as part of the ongoing cleanup of my older figures.  I'm finding that I can do this a lot more quickly when I get some time, and it is encouraging.  Next up: 4 elephant casualty figs (courtesy of Simon the Big Red Bat) and 48 Ligurians for the next Zama game.  The latter is a batch of really old, badly painted stuff (with enamels) that I bought at a show dirt cheap years ago, plus some of my own Essex figures.  I hope they will look all right mixed in together.
