Gauls or Celts
« on: October 03, 2011, 08:51:30 »
I've been looking up but do you think those shields and axes are historically acceptable, at all?  ???

any suggestion for a suitable pair of legs (lines/checkered) with old type shoes/bare light-skin coloured feet so that playmo dad can join them? (I cant find one amongst my napoleonic sailors)

Maybe these pants could work, but you'll need to cut off the feet and add a less royal coloured ones...

or perhaps these? 30 00 9670 - Viking, redhead, grey fur vest

if there is a whole hoard of these guys charging at your troops... i doubt anyone would take time to notice what color their shoes were.... :)

I need to get back to work on my barbarian/celt/gaulish type persons soon.... so many unfinished projects... :(  :lol:

Baron Marshall, I would be most interested to see what you come up with cause for me these groups are a headache... so many overlaps and use of the same parts over and over again  8}

The axes are not historically correct.
They would have had axes more like the ones from the fire fighter sets...

Or you could cut the top of the axe down!
I did that to one of mine...

@Baron Marshall : please do share.....I'm itching to make more of these...before I spray more brown shoes   ;D

@Wolf Knight : and I'm adding to the confusion with my still unclear mind...will just refer to mine as Celts/Gauls/Vikings  :P

@WoT : thanks!! I will substitute these axes with more crude/ancient ones  ;) .....I'm been hesitant to put one of those horned helmets on one of them (I'm trying my best to move away from our old-familiar PM vikings) too bad we dont have other oval shields (apart from those with African motifs)  :)

Looking at cheng's second picture, why not customise the Masai warrior's shield? The shape is quite similar, isn't it?
