The head on Ronaldo does look a little on the large side though

The head on Ronaldo does look a little on the large side though 

A fraction perhaps, but not massively so. I can live with it - and I'm usually picky about these things 

It's certainly no more outsized than the Perrys own metal heads in Tudor caps, which are a good 10% too big for the plastic bodies... 

[einarolafson]

Not my favourite period but your painting job is fantastic ! And the conversions are stunning!! I have enjoyed a lot seeing the pictures, Thanks!!

[Dalauppror]

Greate minis, nice to see some old GW parts come in handy, I try to use the odd one to my Kalmar project, mainly from the Mordheim plastics.

[Mad Doc Morris]

Excellent builds, once again. Though I'm with Mr Bibbly here, the unhelmeted heads make them look a bit like dwarves. Looking forward to see them painted, anyway.

[Mr.J]

The GW heads are slightly bigger in my eye but I don't think that it's detracts at all from the minis. It really is barely noticeable particularly en-masse on the table top.

[Johan]

Richard, I am so shamelessly going to steal this idea.

That seems to go with the name 

Excellent assemblages Sir Richard

[Faber]

pretty cool new creation!
Soccer time actually: Ronaldo as a Artillery Officer (we could say..bomber? ) and Gianluigi The Buffoon as a arrow catcher...or a goalkeeper? 

[zumwildenhirsch]

Gianluigi does look a bit concerned about being attacked from all angles. Maybe his old mate Fabio Cannonvaro should come out of retirement to help out.

[oxiana]

Has there been a 100 page thread before? Will this be the first? 

Loving it of course. 

Poor Luigi though! 

[Captain Blood]

Not strictly mounted men at arms, I know, but I went off down a side alley and  painted the artillery park a few days ago...



Now some people will say these look a bit too rusty, and that medieval gunners out campaigning in the wind and rain of the English countryside would undoubtedly have kept their field pieces shiny and pristine at all times...



But I have looked at a lot of iron that spends a lot of time outside...



And trust me, unless you are going to paint it with Hammerite every few days, it rapidly acquires a distinctly iron brown colour...



Besides which, I like them like this... 



The two little guns are from the Foundry conquistadores artillery pack.
Broadly contemporary in terms of era, although I fear they may not be strictly historical...  
Good enough for my purposes though...



Now I just have 16 gun crew to paint - as well as the rest of the Mounted men at arms...

 The rust /weathering is perfect.
