They look excellent, how long much time have you spent on the shields so far?

Red oxide primer is your friend!

Cheap and effective. I use it almost exclusively for the backs of shields, be they Roman scuta, Greek aspides or Macedonian pelta.

I'm also interested in how you hold them; I use a piece of card and blobs of blu-tac.

Regards,
Craig

Hi all, fingers! Paint one end, allow to dry, paint t'other. Low tech. ;-)

Good stuff that red oxide, Craig.

Cheers, Simon

They will be a cracking looking unit when completed, like the idea of mixing up the shields!
