What can I say besides this is an impressive body of work and I love them!
ReplyDeleteThe guns are real monsters and the colors on the Doppelsoldners are remarkable.
Thanks Jonathan, yeah, I agree regarding to the heavy guns, I was totally surprised after receiving them from Old Glory, "huge" heavy guns or siege guns? The guns look like to me 36lb to 42lb? I enjoyed painting the Doppelsoldners :o)
DeleteThese are gorgeous, Phil. I think the bolder plate worked well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, yes I agree with you, I went for a bolder approach with my colors, not sure if historical correct, but I'm happy with the final results after painting the Doppelsoldners.
Deletecheers,
Great artillery and swordsmen Phil - you are making good progress with you Renaissance army!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike, I'm not to sure if I will complete this project during August, I used up 4 days renovating/repairing the Kitchen floor tiles and painting the walls.
DeleteI have 4 more gun (light/med) models to put together to add on to the Landsknechts and Italian/Swiss forces...
cheers,
Renaissance offers a variety of beautiful and difficult to paint uniforms ... and you've done an excellent job on the clothes! Absolutly brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, yes I agree with you 100% painting Renaissance miniatures is extremely difficult, well for me anyway, after painting over 60 pikemen/swordsmen, artillery crews I sort of worked what colors to use and not to use :o)
DeleteGreat stuff Phil, great artillery and colours on the Landsknechts . This Renaissance army is coming along in no time at all!
ReplyDeleteslowly getting there Chris :o) with 6 - 7 days to go until the end of August I should be able to finish off the project but we shall see.... Thanks again Chris!
DeleteThey look great Phil! Your really moving this project along at an impressive pace!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thanks Christopher, I'm looking forward completing this project and take lots of mass formations photos! :o)
DeleteSuperbly done! This is one great looking army. BTW, those shirtless arty crewmen are interesting - had to do a double take. So used to seeing only Ancients like that ;)!
ReplyDeleteI doubt if artillery crews were allowed to remove their shirts during the heat of battle, no pun intended, but I got those figures in the pack... Thanks again Dean
Deletecheers,
Fantastic painting, Phil! Renaissance has to be one of the most stylish eras in the history of warfare! I assume the shirtless fellow manning the guns didn't want to get his lovely shirt dirty. Good call.
ReplyDeleteI should have dry brush the shirt less crews with gray/black color over their chests and arms and back to suggest having hairy torsos :o)
DeleteThanks Monty,
Cheers,
