I've finished the last 18 fiigures for my Naval legion; the offices (or "Ruperts" in naval parlance) are above. Models are a mix of Black Tree, Foundry, Crusader and Companion. You might be able to make out an Aventine dolphin standard, kindly donated by Keith. Not my best photo... they look better in the "flesh".
IThe photo of my optios and the last few legionaries ("Tars") came out rather better (above, all Black Tree). The faces have bags of character. Next I have to paint 80 shields...

I thought officers=ruperts came from the SAS. It was the Navy?
Hi John, I think also army in general and possibly navy (is on the Royal Navy service slang page, at least...)
Great stuff, Simon, can't wait to see a whole legion shot. Or two...
Do the ruperts become Rodneys (what we called them in the B.A.O.R) when they go on land??
Nice looking bunch...80 shields to paint? I feel for you :-D
Cheers

Very very nice indeed!
Thanks chaps.
Rodney's sounds plausible, Paul. Luckily, all the shields are transfer jobs, so although a big task, hopefully it'll be manageable. All 80 are primed and I'll slap on some paint, tonight!
Simon
