Not a period of interest for me but Blue Moon is ever and again astonishing in the sheer variety - not only of ranges but of poses within ranges.  Nice paint jobs.

Looking very good.

One thing, if I may, the Italians were well known for their brightly painted lances which after Fornovo the French noted as, and forgive any misquote as it's from memory, "brightly painted, hollow and useless".
