Hi everyone,
The picture above is my 1:1 scale model Spanish tercio. The main pike block has 540 individual pike tips. Each square of shot has 300 models on it and the sleeves of shot around the pikes contain another 600 figures. This model was my test for printing pike blocks. Not a single pike, out of 540, broke in production or in transit. I'll soon be rolling out an entire range of pike and shot units, which will include many different varieties of pike blocks for use throughout the period, as well as various kinds of shot bases. I'll be doing some smaller ECW units with pike and shot on the same bases, for example, as well as officers and calvary to go along with the infantry. I have an example of cavalry in depth here:
If you want you can check out my current range here:
https://www.shapeways.com/shops/forwardmarchstudiosI'm always open to new suggestions for new models; I've already created a few models based on recommendations. In fact, I'd love hear some requests for what people are interested in seeing in the Renaissance, since it is not really a period I'm an expert in (although I have learned quite a bit recently). My goal is to let players create battles that look exactly like the old woodcut printings of Renaissance battles which show the combinations of pike, shot and cavalry deployed in depth, for a reasonable price. So, if you have any comments or recommendations let me know, I'll definitely taken them into consideration as I develop the range.
