Very nice figures from our friend Alex.
The set shows different ranks of a Roman legion.

Hope you enjoy!

Absolutely fabulous figures sculpted by Alex. Beautifully painted as usual by you Konrad. If I had to find fault I would love to be able to see bigger photos with better definition. Love your metals …. what paints do you use?

I use different colors.
For the metal I use metallic anthracite from MARABU.
In my opinion one of the best acrylic paints on the market.

Superb paintjob on those fantastic figures, Konrad! :love: :love: :love:

By the way, how the Legion's eagle used to be, gold or silver? :shock:

As far as I know none has ever been found.
Most sources say that the aquila was initially made of gilded silver, but was made of pure gold in the imperial period.

I agree about the metallics. They look great, as well as the rest of the figures!
