I haven’t posted an update on my DBA Carthaginian army project since September 2009. I’d like to remedy that, and hope to post something once every week or two.
To be honest, the elephants are partly to blame. They were fiddly to assemble and paint; and I hope never to work on a Corvus Belli elephant again. That being said, I’m generally please with the results. One thing that bothers me, however, is the driver. I dry fit him several times prior to painting, and a couple times when the elephant and howdah were done. once the shields were in place, however, I couldn’t get him to sit right, and by then it was too late.
I should also not that I’m largely following the studio palette for this army. I’m making a few changes here and there, some greater than others. But I’d like to finish these in a timely manner, and this seemed one way to expedite the process.
