Title: Talos & the Argo
Post by: Hetairoi on February 12, 2016, 09:19:49 am

I´ve not had much naval action this year, but I have almost finished a 28mm project (http://hetairoiwargames.blogspot.com.es/search/label/Argonautas) based on Jason and the Argonauts movie and some friends suggested that making the ship Argo and Talos would be a great finale for the project. As they went a bit pushy, I had to tell them I will paint the Argo and Talos... But I did not mention in what scale.

So, I´ve made a small diorama representing the Argo trying to scape from Talos.

Talos is a 28mm hoplite (inmortal miniatures) and the Argo is 1/600th  skytrex liburna.
In adition to the rigging, I´ve made some conversions on the stern (Hera) and the forepeak.

Hope you like it!
