Sweet Jeebus! Those are awesome!

[Admiral Benbow]

Beautiful, you are the Durer of sculpting

There is nothing more to say.
 

[Hendrid]

Second all the previous comments, best work to date. Nice!

[Ratnik]

I just wish someone would do something similar for an 'Italian' style setting for the same era.

any ideas?

[mweaver]

Those figures are absolutely gorgeous.

[Arlequín]

any ideas?

Well I will try not to bombard you with them but....

They would need to match in to the vague time period of the other Bruegelburg figures, so 1490 - 1520 time period. In my head I'm seeing a town the opposite of Bruegelburg, a place where art and science have taken precedence over religion and magic. The clothing is less 'German' and tighter fitting. Match that with the character you put into your sculpts and they should be awesome.



Fashionably dressed young duellists as in Romeo, Tybalt, Mercutio et al from Romeo and Juliet.





The Borgia family perhaps?





or the Tudors



Street performers, prostitutes, assassins, thieves and Street thugs. The Assassins Creed II and AC Brotherhood computer games are packed with inspiration too.

In essence, all that you've done with the Bruegelburg range, but different.  

You could call it Città da Vinci, or Castello Michaelangelo, or something...

Absolutely love these figures, Love all the Bruegelburg figures, but still working my way through Igor's STALKER figures, so haven't got around to getting any of these yet, but with each new release it gets harder to resist and more expensive to start collecting

All I know is that at some point we need some rough hard looking knights.

SSshhh...quiet you guys...don't distract him from the task at hand...more puff and slash goodness...we still need hand gunners and pikemen, at least,  before I'm ready to move on.

Sheer brilliance. I know it doesn't add anything to what has been said before, but it's true.

They'd stand in for exceptionally well dressed Bruegelburgers... someone has to pay their wages after all. However we do need this 'Ratniked':

[Ratnik]

be patient...

[fastolfrus]

Some of these are skinny, but actually by Bruegel:

Massacre of the Innocents (lots of troops)
Census at Bethlehem (only a few pikemen in the centre background)

But if you are going Italian, I'd look at the Borgias, but probably not the recent version, the 1981 version was heavily criticised but I thought Adolfo Celi made a great pope:
