These chaps are another eBay purchase that I've been restoring for a while, they'll form part of my first Egyptian phalanx. I'm about to order a bunch of Polemarchs to join them. I've painted their linothorax in a pale grey, and intend to Army-Painter it, then overpaint in white. The shields and helmets will get a coat of Army Painter, too.
Yet another eBay purchase that I've substantially repainted, and added LBMS transfers to. When the chaps at the back are painted, and a command stand added, they will become the VIIIth Cohort of my EIR legion. At the moment I'm alternating painting EIRs and phalangites.

There is something very satisfying about buying poorly painted minis on eBay and then repainting them them to one's own high standards. Don't cha think?
It is my favourite activity. I prefer it to painting from scratch!
It is like a hospital for bad paintjobs, here. ;-)
These look very nice! I got a huge collection of Foundry Romans in a trade but have not had time yet to paint them. Hopefully some day and I will use yours as the model, if that is ok? Anyway I was wondering if you would link my blog here on your blog as I have done already for you?
Cheers...
