Painting Late Roman Army for ADLG

This is the late Roman Army for the ADLG tournament. I bought these miniatures all from Essex miniatures in England. It takes about 10 days to get the miniatures which is pretty good from England. Some of the shields have decals from Little Big Man and some are hand painted.

Painting Early Roman Army for ADLG

 ADLG stands for Art de la Geurre and is the new rule set the club is using for Ancients. Kind of like DBM, DBMM, but an easier rule set. I played in a tournament on the May long weekend and wanted to paint two armies. One for my son and one for me. The shield decals are from Little Big Man and the miniatures were a gift from Mike and Duncan (Good). Thanks for the miniatures. These are mostly Essex miniatures.

Here is the Early Roman Army.

Painting Leopard 2 A6M Can

My brother in law bought a model kit 1:35 scale with all the modification to make it a Canadian Mod. The Canadians bought 100 Leopard 2 from Netherlands in 2007. I was actually Director Armour Vehicle Program Manager when they were bought. Eventually, the Canadians upgraded some tanks to the A6M  level with a bunch of Canadian Mods. The M is for Minefield protection. The details of the Canadian mods was very impressive. The mud flaps are rubber. The grenade launchers are all individual pieces. It took me about 100 hours to build.
