In Arbeit / on the workbench

Die DBA 2.2 Armee der Sassaniden (II/69) umfasst nicht weniger als acht Kavallerie-Elemente inklusive General, ein Element Kataphrakten und ein Element Light Horses. Dies sind total 30 berittene Figuren. Die Pferde (Fell, Mähne, Schweif und Hufe) und alle metallenen Rüstungen von Reiter und Pferd sind bereits fertig bemalt. Aktuell arbeite ich an den Pferdedecken und Zaumzeug.


The DBA 2.2 army of the Sassanids (II/69) compromises as many as eight cavalry elements including the general, one element of cataphracts and one element of light horse. This amounts to a total of 30 mounted figures. At present the horses (fur, mane, tail and hooves) and all the metal armour of horse and horsemen have already been painted. Currently I am working on the horses rugs and harness.
