The final six stands are finished. I have added what pike that I could. These figures are what I believed to be original Hinchiffe Models from the early 1970s. I am sure there were 25mm figures of the day, but IMO are 20mm. I hope that converting them to L'Art de la Guerre rules will allow them to once again see the light of day.
Being of an age where it is not uncommon to be up at 3:00 AM for a call on nature, this morning I used the time to finish another block of pike. Flocking and tuffs were added last night before dinner. Since I was awake anyway, might just as well use 30 minutes to advance a project with the addition of the pike. Six more stands to go. Back to bed.
These figures were part of a collection gifted to me by the widow of Jef Lauzon, who passed away in 2004. He was a master of the WRG 6th edition ancients rules and when I received them they were individually mounted. Fourteen elements of pike mounted for ADLG rules. These were the armed might of his Successor Armies.
I spent the last few evening rebasing the figures. I need to do some sprucing up of the figures and of the bases upon which they are attached.
Nine bases of 50 year old plus pikemen (Minifigs or Hinchiffe Models I am not certain which) and another 5 consisting of 1977 Ral Partha figures.
I even had sufficient loose figures to create some command figures on foot. Now to attach 120 plus pike.
What do you know. I found a couple of hundred fresh pike stored away in a parts box. First 24 pike are attached. They look far better armed.
