Gladiators we salute you Dust and Shadows part 6

 Gladiators we salute you Part 6!

Another 3 gladiators completed all black tree again, with a few shield swaps to suit the personality. and now a few animals plus my chariots and my collection will be ready for the arena! I have enjoyed painting these, especially the atlantean. 

The Arena build is still coming along with a few changes from my original idea. When I return from Holidays in Australia in Feburary I will crack on!

looks like the emperor! 

looks like Minimus rather than Maximus!

Atlantean is ready!

cheers

Jasta 10 part two lt Hans Klein

Jasta 10 part 2

Completed my first aircraft for the three aircraft I am building for Jasta 10. The Roden kit was very tricky build with a lot of parts being replaced otherwise it would not handle normal wargame handling for Canvas eagles. The transfers again were appalling so I used Pheon transfers.  

I am sort of happy, not really 100% with the build. I hand painted the yellow and I had it little too thick but I did achieve the stripey look of hand painted canvas with the white. I nevertheless it will take to the skies and very soon be on the table using canvas eagles rules. The pilot is from Wartime Miniatures ww1 pilot range I commissioned a number of years ago.

The aircraft is Lt Hans Klein, he lead Jasta 10 from the 17th September 1917 until he was wounded in February 1918 flying a Pfalz dxiii. a record of 22 victories, 1 unconfirmed.
