Victrix Boudica Command Stand

Since the Victrix Celtic Chariot set comes with three "Boudica" figures, went ahead and painted one more up for a foot command stand.
The Druid "wizard" also comes in threes, but so far, this is the only one I painted up.
They're mounted on a 50mm Litko plywood round base.
The same set comes with a sprue of Gallic Armoured Warriors too, and the standard bearer is one of these.
Boudica's shield is a metal one from the Warlord Games Ancient British Warriors set. I painted these up today to take my mind off of an order of Victrix Macedonians which arrived today per the USPS tracker. However, it is supposedly in our community parcel box, but our mail box didn't have the parcel box key. Hopefully, the USPS driver will get my note to let her know about this. The local office was closed today so I couldn't call about it. Otherwise, all is well and wishing all of you good health and happy painting (and gaming if you are able to).

    More outstanding work here Dean - your painting has always been exemplary but I think the recent Ancient Britons/Celts are your best yet!

      Thanks a lot again, Keith. I do like the Briton/Celt vs. EIR period lot too. Reminds me of the 1/72nd scale Airfix sets I used to play with. Warmest regards, Dean

    Gorgeous painting, Dean! USPS service is slipping of late. I recently had a 2-3 day priority box take a week to reach me.

      Thanks, Jonathan. One of the neighbors said our regular carrier has been on leave and the "fill ins" are messing up deliveries - she said they haven't gotten any mail in about a week - not normal. It does appear the USPS may be in some kind of trouble overall too. Best regards, Dean

      Thanks, Dmitry! You are very intuitive! I just ordered (from ebay) some Warlord Games Celtic Slingers - couldn't pass up the price. :) Warm regards, Dean

    Amazing! I love the way you made the tartan. It was always a challenge for me.

      Thanks for your kind words, Bartek. I tried to do a simplified pattern. Too many lines makes it look too busy, IMO. Warmest regards, Dean
