28mm Renaissance Project 4

A Minor update Guys.... I manage to finish off the Artillery crew and some more 28mm Old Glory Landsknechts Pike men. I also based (my apologies for no mass bloc formation photos) up to 60 x 28mm Landsknechts figures on 40mm x 40mm stands..umm haven't flocked the bases will do that tomorrow... thanks Guys! cheers

28mm Renaissance Project 3

I manage to finish off the Old Glory 28's Landsknechts figures and it was a slog (slow heavy pace) to paint these guys. The problem I had was the color schemes on the figures some look great to me others look average some look "blah" awful

Painting Landsknechts was no easy task there were times the Landsknechts gave me the "sknechts" :o) during painting sessions. The good thing about painting up the Old Glory 28's I now know which colors to use and not to use for the 28mm Pro Gloria Landsknechts (48 figures) painting sessions, starting soon. 

This weekend I will start working on the Artillery crews, gun models and the 2 handed swordsmen and a few of the swordsmen figures converted to standard bearers.... which reminds me, does anybody know where to find online free download Banners/flags for my Landsknechts and Swiss Pikemen?

I appreciate any "the good, the bad and ugly" comments about painting these miniatures :o)

A minor update....not much done today... I did some color "test" painting on some of the figures, a few pikemen and two artillery crew to give myself what to expect regarding to color decision making for the pikemen.

Before I started working and drilling the figures, I wash, yeah I know washing lead!) :o) the minis with detergent to get rid of the factory and casting mold dust....

Drilling holes through the hands of the Pikemen was, well, a pain in the backside :oP

Yesterday I forgot to include the photos of the Landsknechts Artillery crews figures. you get 20 miniatures in a bag and most of them look great.

very interesting what you will find in this artillery pack. you get 4 pikemen (perhaps as Artillery Standard bearers?) standing, 1 Artillery commander and two guys have assorted weapon Hands to choose and insert from one of 8 weapons available within the pack.
