When I ordered my first (trial) batch of Pendraken ECW and TYW models for Pike & Shotte, I promised Leon to turn them into pure-bred 17th century sons-of-bitches. Well, here's the first batch, just finished - apart from the matt finish (spray can is on tomorrow's To-Do list).

Hi Aart,
Very nice painting there! I notice at least some of them seem to have the rod still in place underneath the horse's belly. I have always found these pretty easy to cut off with a sharp scalpel, without any obvious effect on the stability or survivability of the figures. It certainly improves the visual effect. Worth a try?
Mollinary
Nice job. Hope to see some more when they're done :)
Nice!

No effect on stability you say? I'll cut them off asap then.
A unit of Spanish arquebusiers/dragoons are next, both mounted and dismounted so I can switch during the game. They're for tomorrow or Saturday. I'll have a better camera, too, the new (!) camera one I bought sucks and has been returned.

Half an hour later: Hey Mollinary, I've cut off all their ghoulies and they didn't flinch. I guess they're my kind of guys, they just grow new ones. 8)
Aart,
They are the Daddies!
Mollinary
Nice, very nice - straight into my gallery, thank you

Must be the speed their charging at
Nice job Aart! :D 8)
Mmmmm. Pike and shot troops really do have that little something extra, don't they?

What if they were geldings to start off with? X_X
Seriously, though, they look the business. 8)
Very nice Aart - you're definitely safe with taking off the extra bit :)
Nice job
Aart,
A man much missed.
Glad to see one of his threads again. :)
So true :)
Definitely ! :(
Good (but sad) to be reminded of the man.
Cheers - Phil
Lovely work. Excellent depiction of armour.
