Painting by "design": more Armies on Parade Tomb Kings

OK, for those of you who have seen the post on how the big light in the center of the tomb was covered, you are familiar with the "dais" that Cathy suggested.  It was great, and it gave me a nice blank canvas on which to do a design.

I had the perfect one in mind... it is the one that I used on the bases of my big chariot unit.  Here is the image:

Tomorrow I will post the images that show how this looks with the rest of the upper level, which also got some attention with the brushes!
