I have issues. I started cleaning the next batch of Republican Romans last night. Cleaned the excess metal from the casting process and placed the miniatures in a Simple Green solution last night. The Simple Green bath is to remove the molding chemical residue. Is 12 hours too long? Probably but I like to give my metal the full spa treatment. Of course, I cannot let stuff sit. So this morning post-workout, I finished the cleaning process. These miniatures are from Old Glory 15s.
Toothbrush, a clean bowl of water, one of the wife's baking sheets, and some paper towels. Surprisingly, she said nothing as I was prepping the dining room table and rummaging through the cabinets for a baking sheet. I guess after 20 years she has come to accept my ways of being an awesome nerd.
32 Principes
32 Hastati
This will make 8 L'Art De La Guerre (ADLG) bases or 15 DBA bases. And with the already painted Essex figures, I should have 10 bases of Republican Roman hastati and principes heavy foot stands for the field. The max base count in ADLG is 16 but I have never seen an army list with that many stands.
I am pretty sure this is not what the 80s tag line "we do more before 9 am than most people do all day" was referring to.
