This is quite something and I'm particularly taken with both the variety of colours and also the nifty split section down the middle to allow for bigger units.Millsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580692168847505881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-13435532775391820522016-03-23T14:30:28.562-06:002016-03-23T14:30:28.562-06:00Hi Curt,

That's how such a unit is supposed to look in my eyes.... and that's also the very reason I'll probably won't try my hand on that period as well. Thank you so much for an awesome three months my friend.

What an amazing Challenge this has been, and your landsknecht pike block is as fine a way to end as any there has been. Crikey, those chaps are devilish to paint – worse than samurai and highlanders by far. And as to a career as a Doppelsöldner – well, I imagine there were easier ways to make a living in Renaissance Italy, even as Lucretzia Borgia’s poison tester. Tremendously well done, Sir! And THANK YOU again to Curt, the Minions, Sarah, and indeed to everyone painting, reading, watching or commenting – good job, everyone!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.com
