Its been a while since my last post,and for some reason I have one postee [if there is such a word] I can only assume I'm doing something wrong on Blogger,anyway.
I've painted my first infantry unit of Romagnol pike and crossbows,using Perry Miniatures.
Due to a hundred and one other things I haven't finished their bases yet,but what the heck.
The Perry plastics took a different way to paint in that I used a watered down black undercoat,in order to see the detail better.
They are also more delicate than metal figures and need a steady hand to do them justice.I don't think I have that anymore,but I think they are neat,as in tidy. Originally I was going to matt varnish them,but after some milky effects on a command base,I opted for the old shiny finish.
I do like the figures,although the lack of heft does throw me a little. I have commissioned some heavier plastic bases,which should help a bit,plus I have scattered some metal figures in among the unit.
No Papal Army,should be without a train full of cardinals and priests,so I had to do a few,just to encourage the troops.
I love this figure from the Perry Twins, they obviously were inspired by the renaissance paintings that show various types of Italian commander.
The flags are from the excellent Pete Smith of PETE'S FLAGS fame. Check him out, he also is on Ebay.
Hopefully I will publish my army list on my next posting,so that my postee [singular] can read it.
