Artizan Swiss

Artizan Swiss

Artizan Swiss Arquebusiers: These figures and the pike above were painted using the dip  (Wilkinson's quick drying Dark Oak varnish ) and then highlighted.  This took about the third of the time paint than my other figures.

German knight


German knight  converted from a Grenadier late medieval figure, boots and cowl made from Greenstuff, head from the perry mercenaries box and the lance is from TAG.  The idea for this figure came from Stuart Mulligan's work on his English demi lancers which can be seen here :

Steve Dean Painting Swap

Landsnecht Officer painted for me by Iain 1914  as part of the Steve Dean painting Swap; really nice blending on the red on this figure 

and here's the one I painted for Aircav; it's not Italian Wars  but I've no other way of making a link to it.
