Paint it or Punt it
Roman Legionaries
8 out of the 12 Roman Legionaries are now painted and in the cabinet. I didn’t really enjoy them as much as I thought I was going to and I’m not entirely sure why. I was frustrated with skin colour and it is my first foray into transfers which are fine at a distance but not great up close.

looks well to me, what’s the issue with your transfers?
Just not quite as neat as I’d like Gerry, purely down to lack of practice.
