The Pretzhelburgh Chronicles
« on: March 30, 2017, 01:51:04 PM »
In which a mysterious character enters Pretzhelburgh.

Gianluca Martello Conte di Capo del Gioco,
He is an adventurer, playwright, historian and critic of the clergy.
Martello fled Römerheim after a violent collision with the clergy following the performance of his last play 'La Gazza Ladra' (the thieving magpies). He rides a pig (a boar in fact) called Leopold or Leo.
It's unnecessary to say that Gianluca and Archbishop Leopold von Wallenstein 'The Just are no friends.

The Pretzhelburg Chronicles is a project which I started a few years ago. It was and still is inspired by the great Bruegelburgh miniatures of Ratnik (Igor Karpov) and produced by Lead Adventure and the even fantastic buildings and accessoires made by Tabletop World.

Real life and serious health problems stopped me for a long time. But now I am able again to pick up this project.
I hope you enjoy the endavours of the citizens and visitors of Pretzhelburgh. Brought to you by Gianluca Martello ;)

Thank you Jambo.
It is the Wilhelm von Shakespeare figure from the Bruegelburgh range of Leadadventure

As one who has had an ongoing battle with my Camera of Continual Contrariness, I can attest that it does take some time & practice until the photos start turning out the way you'd like them to; being accurate representations of how the miniatures actually look is an elusive goal. All that aside, your Renaissance Fellows look SPLENDID. Keep up the GREAT WORK!

Thanks for the comments.
My wife has taken up photography as a hobby. And has now all kind of tips. So we will see how it works out. We want to use a kind of box with very bright daylight LED lights.

Thanks again Jambo.
I will post more. I have lost of material. In all kind of stages of converting and painting. For example in the case of the merchants the bases have to be finished. Amd all the models have to be photographed again.
