That looks great - is there a clever trick to putting the stripes on the lances, or is it just careful, hard work?

You could try a base colour, then add a thin strip of masking tape round the lance and painting over the exposed area. As long as the second coat is applied relatively thinly to prevent a ridge forming at the join, it works reasonably well for 28mm.
