Two Zulus a Day programme - day 1
Alright, so I came up with this silly idea. I've always wanted to paint a proper Zulu army, but as I'm a bit of a hobby butterfly and can't focus for more than a week on a single subject, I've never managed to do it. So now, to keep myself motivated, I'm going to paint two 28mm Perry Zulus every day and post them here. I'm rather curious myself how long I'll be able to keep it up. So, Day 1...
Sherden Guard
Another batch of Bronze Age figures from Caesar. This time Sherden warriors in Egyptian service. Thanks to a pretty uniform look and simple colour pallet, I've managed to get twelve of them done in a single weekend. Overall, this might be the best example of 1/72 sculpting I've had the pleasure of painting. The head-to-body proportions are very realistic and overall size is near perfect. I think they will be a good base for comparing sizes of other sculpts. This gentlemen may just be a Vitruvian Man of 1/72 figures 😀. Enjoy the photos!
Caesar Pharaoh's Chariot
I've added yet another chariot to my collection. The Caesar model is absolutely stunning and a blast to paint. My main goal was to show how different materials of the same colour can look (for example, the difference between red wood and red cloth). The runner figure was painted as well. Enjoy the photos!
