1/72 Macedonian and Carthaginian Armies
Phalanx
I painted 72 macedonian phalangites.
After priming I painted the clothes and most armour in a mixture of dessert yellow and skeleton bone. I also painted the skin barbarian flesh.
I then painted the shields, armour and helmets in a mixture of weapon bronze and desert yellow and highlighted it up to pure weapon bronze.
Finnally I used strong tone ink on the clothes and skin and highlighted the most raised edges with the original colours.
The models did not come with their spears and I am not sure how to make them. I have seen broomstick or modelling wire been suggested but I think I will leave this stage until I decide on the easiest course of action.
