Beautiful work - but do the experts still believe in the connecting sleeve 
Re: Pyrrhic army; Aventine miniatures

Beautiful work ...
I think there is some doubt about the two-part sarrisas ... But I love the look of his models ...

I really don't know. I'm not an expert. But it seems normal for southern Greece where forest with tall trees were and still are rare.Sarmaticus wrote:Beautiful work - but do the experts still believe in the connecting sleeve

Wouldn't Pyrrhus have had access to what is now NW Greece and Albania?godzeusgr wrote: <snip> But it seems normal for southern Greece where forest with tall trees were and still are rare.

Quibbles aside, those figures pretty much embody the glamour that got me into Ancient Wargaming - with Minifigs S Range Assyrians and Egyptians; Xmas 1971ish
Thanks you to and Mr Panagopoulos for sharing these images

Re: Pyrrhic army; Aventine miniatures
Yes Sarmaticus, you are right; Pyrrhus had access to those areas. As for the figures, I have the same feeling with you. Especially I liked the #6 photo. (The pikemen with the chainmail). I wish I could have the money and the time to begin a project at 28mm with those pikemen.Sarmaticus wrote:Wouldn't Pyrrhus have had access to what is now NW Greece and Albania?godzeusgr wrote: <snip> But it seems normal for southern Greece where forest with tall trees were and still are rare.
