So here they finally are my tribute to Ray Harryhausen and Jason and the Argonauts, together with their new shields (had some trouble tracking these down). The shields are metal and because of this have made the minis top heavy. So washers have been added underneath the bases to counterbalance. I have lost count of how many times I have dropped these, hence the time taken to complete.
Extra work has been carried out to the hoplon shields (or aspis as they are correctly known), straps and carry / grab handles added around the inside perimeter of each before attaching. It adds a touch of realism, instead of the usual glue it on and ask no questions.
The video of the completed set can be seen here
