Frankish Infantry

To begin I have to say that I really enjoyed painting these miniatures. The figures are 15mm Old Glory and Gladiator Miniatures, the latter I believe are Josef Ochmann sculpts which are beautiful. Sadly, with Fighting 15s closing due to retirement I'm not sure if Gladiator Miniatures will be picked up and continue to be made available. 

 

Currently on the painting table there's been shift from 15mm to 28mm Picts and a handful of part painted Normans I found in a box and decided to finish off. Lots of basing currently going on as well, so plenty of painted miniatures to add to the blog. While painting I've enjoyed listening to Yarkshire Gamer blog, loved the Trevor Dixon episode, though to be fair it's very hard to highlight one episode as they are all excellent. I've also been listening to the Too Fat Lardies podcast, another painting companion which I very much enjoy. As a Mental Health Nurse I'm a strong advocate for the benefits a hobby can bring; and I from a personal perspective I find painting extremely beneficial. I find it quite heartening to see the topic of mental health being openly discussed within the hobby, and proud to be part of a hobby community that can provide such a positive space.
