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)

    Thanks Jonathan, I concur, it seems to me know that during the Renaissance, armies and civilians dress code was to be very colorful, whereas I painted my minis as battle worn campaigners :o) the irony is I have painted one colorful 15mm Landsknecht army the figures sitting in a box I should pull these out and take some photos and show the difference painting 15's and 28's ...anyhow.. I will base/flock my Landsknechts during the weekend... Thanks again Jonathan!

    Glad youi found them of some use. I don't paint nearly as well as you do, but I sure have painted a TON of landsknechts over the years! The elaborate costumes look great, but they are definitely a PITA to paint! :-)
