The completed Peleset.

 Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had had enough of Teaching in sacred Albion...


The Peleset are complete, waiting only for a war painter dip.  A hero general in his chariot, a sub general afoot, twenty swordsmen and eight skirmishers.  Add to that the ox-cart and slaver with his wares and I am doing ok by my plan.

The heroic figure of Northstar's Sherden has also been completed.   This is of course Uriah the Sherden, a renegade migrant who later in his career became a Hittite, apparently.  I'm not sure if he will fit inside a chariot, since he is a tall fellow, but I am quite sure that he is on the wrong base since that is a 5 cent coin and he needs a 2p.

The current view of my painting board is quite different  Herr Hauptman Quitte von Wiessmehr and his Sergeant, the Wachtmiester Feuct, are set to lead the Brunswick Oels against Major Figuin and his Front Rank Voltiguers.   Nice plumes on those hats boys.  Also on the board are some retinue WOTR long bowmen courtesy of Dr Pea.  It signals a break from the Bronze Age painting, which however remains waiting in the wings, just out of camera shot...
