Paintings!

 Cleared the painting table once again last evening. An entirely new project and subject matter this time around... some 1/72 Italian Wars minis! The minis are soft plastics from Red Box out of the Ukraine. I picked up Gripping Beast's Swordpoint recently and of course needed some minis to slug it out. Early Renaissance is pretty foreign to me so this will also be a bit of a learning experience for me.

So here we are, the first lot of Pikemen and Stradioti.

I also did up 8 Halberdiers but they won't get based until I've gotten additional minis painted up for their unit so the model mix per base will be a bit more varied. I had 80 additional minis arrive today - all manner of infantry - arquebusiers, crossbowmen, swordsmen, spearmen and halberdiers. They've been removed from their sprues and cleaned up. Hopefully I'll make good progress on them this week while I'm off work.

I also found these beauties in my pile a couple of weeks ago. Wayne will be excited, they'll go well with that other Epic Squat stuff I painted him a few months ago.

Yup. The Land Train. They were still in the blisters. $6.99 each from 1992. How awesome. I hope he likes them!
