Spartan Command Bases

These are unit commands for the two Perioikoi units at Plataea:
I made them up from half a dozen Old Glory command figures I had left over, plus a couple of officer types I originally based as single generals.  Those are the guys with the raised swords.  I have absolutely no idea of the manfacturer; I got them from Eric at the club a very long time ago.

    They look great! I was wondering the maker until I read they were OG. Nice figures that are underrated. Best, Dean

    Hi Dean, I think you're right about the Old Glory Greeks. They do paint up fine.

    Cheers

    Hi Willie, my wife bought me a small studio box thing from Amazon for inddor use. It sets up with white sides to diffuse the light. I'm not a great photographer, but the combination of the box plus my digital camera on time delay seems to do the trick. The most important thing seems to be not to use artifical light. Glad you like 'em!

    Thanks for looking, folks. I don't know how these guys compare with the large Zvezda figures, though. I think that there have been some folks asking about comparisons between the new Immortal Miniatures plastics and metal manfacturers over on The Miniatures Page. Might be worth leaving a query there?
