Very nice work. Thanks for sharing your brushwork skills on these lovely miniatures.

Much appreciated folks, Romark I do have some Graven Images Irish, they have loads of character but somehow I didnt like them as much. I have painted two up so will dog out a picture to share.

[Rogerc]

Here you go. I dont think they work quite as well as the English troops for some reason although they do hav a certain charm. Unfortunately Jim Bowebn the designr never finished the range and a different sculptor seems to have been used for the Gallowglass which I dont find as nice, ultimately that what decided me to use other ranges for the Irish. They are all available on Ebay where there are colour photos of the extensive range.

Very disappointed that this thread isn't about painting eyeballs on 6mm figures......

Ha, I wondered when my diabolical spelling would become a subject in this thread!

Love your Elizabethans - wonderful work.

I quite like the sculpts but fully understand why you chose the more dynamic figures for Gallowglass,thanks for posting the images
