Musee Jublains, Mayenne

I thought I would add some images of Gaulois Coins today from the Gallo-Roman Museum at Jublains, Mayenne.

The coins are difficult to photograph as they are set into a Perspex sheet so you can view both sides and lighting and back drop is not great. Next visit I will take some white card and update the photos. The collection has a few gold coins and a large amount of silver and copper pieces. Several coin hordes have been found in Mayenne district, most museums around the region have pieces of the Aulerci Diablintes coinage. Some moulds have also been found by archeologists also.

First up Silver coins

Dark Age disorder markers

Last week while resting my eyes from plaid I prepared a bunch of 20mm round bases for markers (actually completely exhausted my stock of them), just builders sand glued onto the base, then painted and drybrushed as I do for Western European soil, rocks painted, then flocked. I felt I had enough Gallic and Roman, so I dug through my spares box of shields and decided to do some dark age disorder markers also. All freehand painted, quite happy with them, got a little carried away and completed another 10 so a Purchased of round bases required, plus now I will also do some Plantagenet period and 100 years war pavises as well.

French 7YW light guns

Completed a pair of light guns for my 7YW French they have been sitting around waiting eyes and skin highlights for two weeks. This will be the last 7YW I will complete until next year,  as we have not developed our battlefield tour and Wargame for our local 7YW battle.

I have decided to start clearing the desk off of all of the half finished bits also, ready for the new focus starting at the end of the week. The completion of my 100YW project, 100 + figs to paint over the next month or so.

Front Rank Miniatures, Eureka guns.
