Numidian Light Cavalry

A cheap buy until I discovered they were missing their shields.  After looking at drawing pins and such, I found the head of a cleat nail to be perfect.  My other lucky break was using Jo Sonja's texture paste to secure them (as well as using it for the attaching the rider to the horse).  It dries hard, fills gaps and is sticky enough to start with to hold the pieces in place.

The other nice find was https://balagan.info/punic-war-painting-guide-numidian

    Thanks Drew.

    I've only just noticed how flat the basing looks. It actually has a lot more texture. I was using a different camera and maybe that has done some interpretation, or otherwise it can see through plaster!
