Excellent painting.
I like the grass and other bits of color, you added.
I have a few buildings from Vatican.
They are a great value for the money.

Tidy work! And FAST, too!  :o

That muted palette looks fabulous for this kind of scenery, and the use of various tufts makes it come alive.

Kudos from here, I cannot wait to see action pics centered around it!

If I hadn't got my 3D-printer this summer, thus minimizing the need for buying resin pieces for my tables, I think Hudson and Allen could have been one of my favourite manufacturers (they still have some stuff that I might have to get if I cannot find stls that cover the subjects - those Scottish Highland blackhouses are fantastic, and SO fitting for fantasy settings as well!).
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Working on a couple of demi-lancersnow here is the first one, again this is a head swap and with a Perry plastic horse.

This one reminds me of Don Quixote, which by the way makes me think that no Elizabethan Ireland project would be complete without some Armada survivors for both sides (Irish and English) to annhilate  lol

Thnaks very much all, I am tempted to add a unit of Spaniards to the Irish forces. I do also need more cattle for both sides to reive.

So my order with Redoubt turned up between Christmas and New year, amongst other things (Mainly Polish Pancerni) it will allo me to finish off the Irish Light Horse and the Demi-Lancers. This standard bearer is billed as a Reiter, his armour is a little early and Redoubt faces are not the best but on th whole I really like this one.

The officer is also a Reiter and his face is not all that, but again his shiny armour makes up for that, kind of. Both horses are Perry. I will do a group shot of the unit when these are based.

Couple more English Shotte, left is the first of the Assault Group musketeers, billed as Dutch militia, and next to him another foundry Caliverman. TAG are a little slimmer and smaller but fit OK, givenn that the Graven Images figures are even chunkier and bigger than Foundry I may try not to mix these latter two together.

Thanks for the comparison shot (pun intended) of the TAG Dutch militiaman and the Foundry caliverman - pictures like these are invaluable in determining what ranges can complement each other.  Am quite enjoying seeing your collection progress.

Lovely work, Roger.  I have Elizabethan and (Anglo-)Irish armies for FoG:R in 15mm - too patchy/scruffy to post on this august forum - and I'm looking forward to some "team photos" when more of your units are finished.

Team photos, love it I might use that. To be honest I am just wanting a couple of units fiished so I can photograph them in the manor house.
