28mm Renaissance Project 6

I'm still working on the Pro Gloria Pikemen, but here are photos of the 2 Artillery units and 6 bases of Two Handed Swordsmen. After viewing the photos myself, I notice I should have painted black circles/dots to the artillery pieces gun barrel muzzles to suggest depth.



Landsknechts Heavy Guns





Update!  
I just did a quick touching up on the gun barrel muzzles

Doppelsoldner (Double Handed Swordsmen)



  



The Figure with Red hat reminds me of a Samurai?

      Thanks Mike, I'm not to sure if I will complete this project during August, I used up 4 days renovating/repairing the Kitchen floor tiles and painting the walls.

      I have 4 more gun (light/med) models to put together to add on to the Landsknechts and Italian/Swiss forces...

      cheers,

    Fantastic painting, Phil! Renaissance has to be one of the most stylish eras in the history of warfare! I assume the shirtless fellow manning the guns didn't want to get his lovely shirt dirty. Good call.

      I should have dry brush the shirt less crews with gray/black color over their chests and arms and back to suggest having hairy torsos :o)

      Thanks Monty,
      Cheers,

    Thanks Jonathan, yeah, I agree regarding to the heavy guns, I was totally surprised after receiving them from Old Glory, "huge" heavy guns or siege guns? The guns look like to me 36lb to 42lb? I enjoyed painting the Doppelsoldners :o)

    Thanks Peter, yes I agree with you, I went for a bolder approach with my colors, not sure if historical correct, but I'm happy with the final results after painting the Doppelsoldners.

    cheers,

    I doubt if artillery crews were allowed to remove their shirts during the heat of battle, no pun intended, but I got those figures in the pack... Thanks again Dean

    cheers,
