Ok guys c'mon lets have a whipround and buy him another 1/2 dozen boxes to see what wonders he can come up with - you know it'll be worth it :D

I'd happily make that a dozen dozen  ;)

First up, the commandante of my Milanese condottieri - Leonardo il Bastardo  :)
Owing to the passing likeness of Leonardo's gruesome trophy to a certain Mayor of London, I am tempted to christen this piece 'Bring me the head of Boris Johnson'  ;)

'Pay me for the head, senor... '

But of course, he would be speaking Catalan, not a despised language like Castillian.

Agreed

Splendid stuff, dare I say wicked, cool, but I can't see any washes though ;)

I do wonder if the Perry's have ever viewed your work Richard - your skill being a showcase for their skill and all that.  Anyways, there are a fair few (me included) that have become 'Perry Plastic' and WotR converts after seeing what you have been able to achieve.
My LAF Gallery is HERE
Minis (foot & mounted) finished in 2024 = 32
(2023 = 151; 2022 = 204; 2021 = 123; 2020 = ???)

I don't think they frequent LAF or the other two forums I'm a member of...  ::)
 ;)

Just spent some more money with them last night again though... Finally I have succumbed to artillery...  o_o

I seriously considered buying all the wagons in a moment of weakness... Then I thought - nah, I'd never use them, and painting draft animals is soooo tedious... I did buy the labourers though  ;)

I've nearly finished painting another of my mounted figures... Hopefully pics later (or tomorrow, depending on how much gardening I am obliged to do today...  :()
