I've recently entered into a golden period of finishing minis, but haven't taken many pics, which I'll try to remedy over the next few days. Here is a unit of 48 Burgundian pike that has been on the back burner for 3 years or so. The first minis were painted by Lionel Bechara, but most were painted more recently by Shaun McTague. I finished them (highlights, shade washes) and added flags from the Perry box, which didn't look much on the page but which look great on the pole. The bases are FK&P6a's. Later, I'd love to add another 48 minis not in the Burgundian livery, but rather in various coloured uniforms with guild flags.
At the moment I seem to be working on Swiss, Burgundian, Milanese, Venetian and Florentine armies, in parallel. :-/ I'm loving the Perry plastics.
Great looking pike block.
ReplyDeleteThanks- they will look twice as good when the bases are done, hopefully in a few weeks time.
ReplyDeleteSplendid, look forwards to seeing them based and battling.
ReplyDeleteHi Scrivs, I've a great big grouty backlog building up. :-(
ReplyDeleteI'm also loving these. I did tell you years ago "plastics would get you" and I recall something about your dead body,however let's not go there.
ReplyDeleteNow that you've discovered plastics can I have those rubbish metal Romans you appear to have no need for anymore...I can collect.
Yes, who'd have thought it. I love the ease of conversion of the plastics, and the way you can throw them across the room without any damage.
ReplyDeleteI am continually amazed by your ability to produce both quality and quantity.
ReplyDeleteImpressively spikey!
ReplyDeleteSooooooo plastics is king,lead is dead Gordon come collect the crappy old Romans.
