Excellent. Painting some A&A's at the moment as well. The bow strings are a nice touch, but perhaps too much a hassle for myself.
Thanks for sharing (or hosting that is).

Thanks all, they are great, aren't they? I'm going to have to order some of those red shield transfers and try the red shield edges with them, myself.

Cheers, Simon

Those are great looking, and painted, figures. I like this range by A&A. They look so purposeful and stout. Best, Dean

Just had a good look at these A&A Romans. I like the idea of the red rewhide sheild edges,and it would save me a lot of grief as I hate painting the edges of sheilds,BUT whats the logic behind them, and without hopefully looking stupid,or ignorant any evidence for them?

Hi Gordon, Dr Phil Hendry put me on to it. IIRC the Dura shields had rawhide edges.

Presumable the wet rawhide contracted, when dry, to make a nice taut edge to the shield and was also, I think, stitched into place.

I think it is naturally a buff or off-white colour, but presumably would take paint well.

Cheers, Simon
