    Superb! I wish Strelets were made from harder plastic, they would be so useful to wargamers.
    Well done with these they look very well painted.

    They look like hardened veterans; nicely painted and composed as always.

      Thanks Pascal.
      Yellow is easy. I black base, so to get the yellow, mix mid Brown with yellow, about 2 thirds Brown, 1 third yellow and cover the area with that. Then reverse the mix, 2 thirds yellow and 1 third Brown..again cover the area. then just yellow and finally, 1 third White and two thirds yellow to Highlight.
      The Knight (with the red charges /triangles) hasn´t had any highlighting, the Sergeant-at-arms (with the stylised maltese cross) has.

    Look great. I'm not familiar with the Strelets range, I will have to keep an eye for them.

      These bods are not made anymore and are a bit hard to find.

    Hi Paul. Great work. Came across it whilst doing some research for my book on armour. Your figures are excellent. Ive had a go at larger scales and some 28mm Perry Miniatures but i'm happier doing illustrations. Take a look at my blog if you want. http://paulfranciswalker.blogspot.co.uk/

      Thanks Paul. Not of my painting is 100% historically accurate, it´s too difficult in this scale and takes a lot of the fun out of painting to try too hard. Your Blog (no follower button?) Looks the opposite..loads of historical stuff and still fun :-) The perry´s stuff are something else, really nice figs..and historically (as far as I know) more accurate than the Little 20mm ones...I´ve painted a few and I´ve got a ton unbuilt but somehow I can´t get around to painting them..they look like giants under the magnifying glass :-D

    Ya,I like e`m all Paul. A big thumbs up for the 1/72 0r 20mm figures.
    I know what you mean concerning the 28mm Perry`s stuff too,I just hate sticking things together because I`m allergic to the glue! Beano Boy
