Thanks. I will try and track down the Cruel Sea. In my beer fueled binge watching, I ended up watching some 1980 Coronation Street. Eddie Yeats is my hero. lol
Really nice work on the Troops. They turned out looking great. I have not done any ancients for many years. When I was doing them for saga I used 1 pack of LBM transfers per army and free handed the rest.
Thanks, Anthony. I'm not entirely sold on the LBM shields either. They were great for the elephants, but sucked all the fun out of hobbying there for a few nights. I'm going to do freehand on the Gaullic cavalry and see how it goes.
These guys look really nice and fit well into the army, love the idea of the cat having a transferred tail ,lol, regarding a film to whatch, Zulu every time, lol I must have seen this a thousand times, all the best Garry
Thank you Garry. I just watched Zulu a few months ago. There was a channel that popped up on UA-cam that had all of Michael Caine's older films on it. That and the Man Who Would Be King.
Oddly enough I am painting a Carthaginian army too. Have the big box and have just completed them. Agreed, shields were rather fiddly, but did give a great effect to the overall look of the army. I have some Gauls too. They are a slow burner for me. Have been painting some Iberians. They are lovely figures. You have done a great job with these and look forward to seeing future stuff. I don’t have a film, but a podcast I listen to is We have ways of making you talk. This is all about WW2. Packed full of interesting fact and great stories.
Thanks. i know what you mean about a slow burner army. I have quite a few of those around. haha. Thanks for the recommend on the podcast. I'll try and track it down. Sometimes I just listen to Mark Felton for a few hours too.
Great work James, Victrix is putting out some good stuff. That would be awesome to meet you at the tactica. Waterloo is online on UA-cam as well and Cromwell is also free to watch.
Thank you. I had planned about 3 years ago to go to Tactica, but i had to babysit extra exams at Uni and i couldn't go. is there a painting contest at Tactica? I wanted to enter the one in kulmbach, but that's not going to happen and even if it does, there is no way they'll let me escape in August with work, olympics (maybe), Euro 2020 (maybe). We'll have to have beers and talk games in Hamburg.
A Bridge Too Far is on UA-cam. It will fill in 3 hours. The Carthaginians look great. I would persevere with the shield transfers as they look the business and I'm sure freehanding would take twice the time to achieve a similar standard.
Thanks. A bridge too far gets its 3 hours once a month. lol. A great film with some great actors. It's gotten to the point that I can chat along with the scenes verbatim. Every time I drive over a bridge I shout 'Jetzt! Jetzt!!' at my wife.
Kev! Thanks, bud. She Wolf of the SS is a classic, along with Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks and Tigress of Siberia...which ends up in 1976 Montreal for some reason.
Thanks for the kind words. I still have a few of the transfers left, so I'll give them another go some day when I get the Carthaginian citizen infantry.
Very nice painting as usual James. Now you definitely have enough stuff for a game. If you paint some more and then move to republican romans I will definitely come to visit again for a game. You always manage to keep those brushes moving, good job.
Thanks, Ginz. I have no idea what I'm doing with ancients to be honest. I have the cavalry on the way...kind of...and I've got the Germans that I may as well paint as the competition isn't happening probably. I still have a lot of WW2 to do, but 2 or 3 beers in and going to Foundry's website is always a bad idea. I was seriously looking at Franco-Prussian Prussian Cuirassiers last night. King Tiger Tanks of the 19th century.
Awesome work on the figures. I always think the LBM transfers sound tricky. Film... I can recommend (for a laugh) the remake of Baywatch with the rock. Was surprisingly funny and meta
Cheers for the kind words. I think the transfers would be great for uniform shields like the imperial legions, but...we'll see. I have a few left so I might give them a go again when I get my hands on the carthaginian citizen infantry. Baywatch...was not expecting that...I will check it out and see how he measures up to the Hoff.
Great looking cartha force, that purple really stands out, looks like a dacian, i think the shields transfers looks very good, in any army, but i agree is hard to stick them if you already glue more than 1 guy on a base. There is a serie of Hanibal on youtube that is awesome from Historymarch. Happy sunday man. Dass boot was great!👍🍻😁
Thanks. The shield transfers turn out OK, but it just seemed to me to be a lot of work compared to doing them in an assembly line fashion 4 or 5 at a time. I've got the Gaullic cavalry on the way and I'll do those free hand and see how I feel about them. That Historymarch documentary about Hannibal was awesome. Totally agree.
Dude! Awesome work! Your Carthaginian army is really cool. I've been doing the Alien movies binge lately. Sometimes, I will watch history shows on UA-cam. Take Care. 👍🍻👍
Great work James. I did these guys myself a couple of years ago and I had the same problem with the poses. They’re not ideal if you want to rank them up. They look good though mate. 🙂
Thanks very much, Jim. I was so pre-occupied about the shields that it didn't even dawn on me that I'd have problems ranking them up. I'm working on the Victrix Germans at the moment and can already see that they are probably going to be 3 guys per base.
That’s probably the way to go. I normally do mine 6 to a base, but with the Celtic warriors I did 5 instead. Which is no problem as they’re meant to look more like a rabble anyway.
Beautiful work James! If you need long movies to watch while painting, grab the director cut of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It will be like 12 hours of movies. :)
Thanks Vic. I did the LotR over Christmas after I hammered through the Fellowship and Two Towers in a month of reading. Maybe I'll go back and check out the extras.
Yes by all means a video response would be great! Interested in what films you'd suggest. There are a lot of other films I'd recommend too, but I didn't want to start listing off half of my DVDs.
They look fantastic, often tempted by Carthaginians but then I’d end up having to delve into Republican Romans too and I already have plenty of EIR. I find LBMS easy to use, love them, but I don’t get on very well with waterslide transfers usually end up folding on themselves. As I’ve just got into ACW, my historical film recommendations would be Glory, Gods & Generals and Gettysburg, a good day or two watching those. For action & adventure, I’m working my way through the Mission Impossible films, great stuff and The Mask of Zorro which is in my top three. For complete escapism The Lord Of The Rings trilogy is hard to beat.
I can recommend the Victrix figures, but I know what you mean about having to build the opposite force...and then suddenly you need Macedonians and Parthians. lol. I watched LotR over Christmas and found to my horror that the lighting of the beacons part is scratched on the DVD. I almost cried! I will try and check out Glory and Gettysburg again. Also try and track down Gods & Generals.
I’ve got my eye on their Macedonian and Persian ranges although I keep thinking about trying that period in small scale. Fancied trying Gaugamela because the Avalon Hill board game Alexander was my first ever experience of wargaming as a kid, would like to recreate that game in miniatures.
Just bought the very same set, awesome to see your painting. What kind of cavalry would you recommend for Carthage? I saw both Numidian and Greek used - can't make up my mind.
Thanks for the compliment! I've been waiting for months for Numidian and Gaullic Cavalry from Victrix as part of an order I made last year. I'm doing both of them so I can have a huge Carthaginian Army and a smaller Gaullic Army which could then conceivably fight the smaller Carthaginian one.
I recommend watching takashi's Castle. Or mxc as we call it in the states. One thing I've noticed from watching that is guys in Samurai apparel. They always choose the Shinsengumi attire. Maybe you could talk about that in a video about Samurai for an off topic😋👻
I know hardly anything about the samurai warring states period to be honest. There was a battle here in town once...in the 1100s when the Fujiwara clan kicked the Taira clan out before they established the Kamakura Bakufu. I know everything about the ww2 situation here and have hiked up to the abandoned AA gun towers and even found the army's horse breeding farm up the mountain from my place. They also bombed the harbor when they were doing suicide torpedo training too. The soy sauce factory took a direct hit from a strafing P-52 that blew up some fuel tank which brought the place down. It wasn't soy sauce but some other chemical at that time. That said, you've shamed me into learning more about the warring states period.
And id recommend a bridge too far if you're doing a market garden scenario for BA, ive seen it 30 times THIS YEAR. Id also recommend Downfall or "Der Untergang" its actually quite entertaining
Bridge too far gets a monthly viewing around here. I still boo when the ginger guy gets shot. Untergang is another one I've seen recently. I picked up a lot of German from it. Great for BA when your guys fail an order test 'Es war ein Biefehl!!' lol
Yojimbo is awesome. Kumon no su Jyo (Spider web castle), basically Macbeth, is another great one with Mifune Toshiro. His death in that movie is the best. When's the next Diver's Pit or battle report coming out?
@@jvcpaints my next video should be out pretty soon I just finished all the paint on the Scots. All 121 of them they just need sand highlights and static grass

Great work . Cool Army. I'm watching the Tudors at moment. Also the cruel sea is a classic. Das boot is one of my favourites.
Thanks. I will try and track down the Cruel Sea. In my beer fueled binge watching, I ended up watching some 1980 Coronation Street. Eddie Yeats is my hero. lol
First class painting, stunning job...and these shields are just perfect!
Thank you, Phil.

Cracking job on those guys mate, they look brilliant, not a film but 4 hour long episodes war and civilisation, is good
Thanks for the compliment and the recommendation.
Wow, these look great! Excellent work!
Thank you very much. You have to start painting up those Italians you got.
@@jvcpaints Well you're in luck. I HAVE started painting them. When I get some time, I'll post a Hobby VLOG on them. Thanks!
Fantastic unit. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the compliment and the comment too.

I really like these, nicely painted top work 👍. Das Boot is a great film, not watched it for a while, might have to put it on. 😁
Thank you very much. I got so into Das Boot recently that I watched the 90 minute making-of. Beautiful models for the ocean shots.
Thats a lovely looking army James put on the Revenant bleak for bleak times but i love it . Regards Gav.
Thanks very much Gav. I'll have to check the Revenant out. Sorry to hear about your battle with UA-cam and their gross stupidity.
These look wonderful mate really great job. And the whole force you have done so far look brilliant. Great job 😁👍
Thank you very much. The figures are a blast to paint, but are a little fragile, so transport could be a bit dangerous.
Great work James, Victrix is putting out some good stuff. That would be awesome to meet you at the tactica. Waterloo is online on UA-cam as well and Cromwell is also free to watch.

These guys are wicked, may have to get some after I finish the ACW. I could name a zillion movies we’ll start with Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS
Kev! Thanks, bud. She Wolf of the SS is a classic, along with Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks and Tigress of Siberia...which ends up in 1976 Montreal for some reason.
Unit looks great, I think these are easier for singly based minis with all those overarm spears.
Thanks for the kind words. I still have a few of the transfers left, so I'll give them another go some day when I get the Carthaginian citizen infantry.
Lovely work mate

Salut mon ami James 😉👍very good job 💪💪I am subscribed at your channel 👍but I have not notifications 🤔UA-cam 😠😠
