Firstly, Created by Alex, a landsknecht Command group..............
...and two late medieval ladies. Just look at the detail on the dresses, the table cloth and the tiny lion and unicorn on the tops of the organ..............
.....and sculpted by Frank Ziegler, Charging Armored Pikemen of the Late 15. Century. Four ranks with six figure poses each, 24 poses and he´s working on halbardiers and the bods have open hands which means they can be armed with halberds etc!! Add this lot to the marching pikes and halbardiers and it will be a very impressive block!! Loads more pics of the Pikeblock HERE.........
.....and from this painting "'Rocroi, el último tercio"(the making of the painting HERE)...............
.....and from this painting "'Rocroi, el último tercio"(the making of the painting HERE)...............
...the bods.....creáted by Massimo and they will be made into sets for Germania Figures. Loads more pics of the bods in creation HERE
The battle of Rocroi, from the film Alatriste HERE The push of pikes gets a bit bloody. If you haven´t seen the film, I can recommend it highly






Nice find, Paul. Beautiful sculpts. Enjoy the holidays, Sir!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice figures Paul .
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and the family too ;)
Landsknechts are looking wonderful!
ReplyDeletePhil.
Some really nice looking figures!
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of Landsknechts and ladies, Michels Miniaturen produces a (NSFWife?) Landsknechtsdame ^-^
ReplyDeleteMaybe she can appear even in a 18th C. setting, playing (a bawdy parody of) Shakespeare?
Btw the German seller of 3D Models CW Toys ceases his on-line activities: are the 3D minis carried by other importers, German e.g.? Not yet on the sites linked to on Michels Miniaturen...
Hi Jean Louis.
DeleteThe Landsknechtdame was also made by Alex...for Micheal. She appears in one of his dios.
Tom (CW Toys) has sold off some of his lines but is develping others. The 17th cent females are availbel, as far as i know only direct from 3D miniatures in china. I´ll have a look about and see if I can find another source.
Cheers
paul
