Thanks very much  :)

Here is what I've been up to in the last few days.

Here is the finished gallowglass for Fitzgerald's command base.  I'm not 100% happy, but on the whole I'm pleased, and I think some careful brushwork will conceal the rough parts.






And some more handgunners, to act as skirmishers.


I also prepped more Irish billmen.  Next order of business will be to get them painted and order some Claymore Scottish spearmen to add a bit of variety.

You can see (a little bit) more on my blog.

Now what is this whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage?

Great Gallowglass! Which plastic set did the head originally come from? Was it much work to sculpt the helmet?

I've not been very productive of late, I'm afraid, but I've managed to get myself to finish a few more men.





These crossbowmen are not part of the original army list, but I was overcome by the temptation to paint pavises  :D

Thanks, gents :)

BTW, I don't know if it's my laptop but I cannot follow your blog- nothing to click??

No, I don't think it's your laptop.  I've tried to set up a "follow" button a few times, but Blogger told me that doing so required that I link to a Google+ account, use my real name, etc.  I'm not keen on linking accounts or being "required" to use my real identity and so didn't go through with it.  If anyone knows a work-around, please let me know.  It is possible to add the blog to your follow list "manually," I believe, since it has a few followers.

I realized I'd forgotten to add two more guys I finished, a standard bearer for the pike block and the MacDonnell gallowglass from a while back.



Credit for that dark shade of madder on the standard-bearer goes to Painterman, who used it on a peasant on his Harness and Array blog and really turned me on to the color.

Great project and really cool conversions.
Like your greenstuffing: makes well known figures to something new...

Cheers,
Don

What a great set of figures you have created. The gallowglass is particularly grand.

Love that gallowglass. Wish I was as talented as I want some at some point.
