Swiss are comming!
« on: December 28, 2018, 05:01:09 PM »
Hi! Here I will post the results of my work on modeling the Swiss army during the Burgundy wars. Some models I paint myself, some on my order.

Very nice, I like this! :)
Been playing with toy soldiers since the mid 70s.  Not planning to grow up any time soon.

Very nice!

The pavises you have there, are they the ones from Foundry? https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/weapon-and-shield-packs/products/wp051-pavises
If not, where are those one from?

Also, the smaller of your two artillery - what make is that?

This looks like a great project.  :-*

I have a Swiss Army done using Mirliton figures and later expanded with a lot of Perry figures.

Thanks. I made a jacket for the captain with a feather, it's a plastic figurine from the Perry brothers
