Late Roman Cataphracts Unit Complete! 17-02-2026

[Darrell Hindley]

Painting time has been slim on the ground of late and varnishing conditions much less so! It's actually rained for more "40 days and 40 nights!". ) One could not make it up. I did manage to get the back rank of my Late Roman Cataphracts finished which, given that I have to spray the last few layers of varnish on, the indifferent rainy conditions, along with other stuff was quite a satisfying achievement. I'm usually much more prolific, but hey ho.....

For more pictures of the two separate ranks and the whole unit please hop over to my Just Add Water Blog here:

Cheers.

I know that feeling all too well! Finding the right conditions for varnishing can be a real battle, especially with persistent rain. It's truly impressive you managed to get so much done despite the weather. The Cataphracts look excellent!

Thanks Lucy300. The weather, throughout The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge was an absolute obstacle. Almost like nature was working against me lol
