Renaissance figures

Here's a couple of pics that two of my customer's have sent me of their figures with my flags. both sets are rather splendid the first is Cesare Borgia by Jim Clarke, I think Jim's done an excellent job on these old Redoubt figures and am looking forward to more images from this army as Jim works his way through it.

Burgundian standard bearer by Ken Pearce; I really like the way this horse has been painted and love the clean and vivid colours Ken has achieved on this Perry figure.

Giovanni delle Bande Nere

Here's a couple of flags representing those flown by Giovanni delle Bande Nere. There's not much known about the flags flown by Giovanni , the first one's based on his coat of arms and the second one's the arms of Leo X mentor, uncle and employer to Giovanni.  I might do another two flags adding a black bend on a white field to the o the heraldry  however I'm not convinced that it would be very historical.

  I also need to do a flag for the man himself; I've seen a medal produced shortly after his death with a badge that looks like an Imperial Roman shield design  and read somewhere that he had a  dragon motif on a purple background. when I decide I'll get cracking with that, cheers Pete 

Foundry Swiss Captain

Foundry July giveaway; I've always wanted one of these figures and thanks to Marcus Ansell I now have two along with a couple of other very useful figures 

Battle of Ceresole 1544Massimo

Massimo has just informed me that this book is now available  to buy ; if it's anything like his book on the battle of Anghiari it'll be well worth the money. It's available in Italian and French but with google translate that's no real problem  the book can be purchased here
