Great Italian wars 33 stradiots

Final light cavalry unit,another old glory unit, you have to stick the hands on before you drill them out! Still nice figures in the end and fun to paint.










So that's the end eight stradiots in the service of Florence,I've failed to complete Florence in 1500 but its a work in progress! Thanks a lot to Curt and to my fellow minions,it's been great fun! Oh and points 8x10 + flag 1 total 81.
All the best Iain

    Stradiots can see service under many a master. Excellent troops. I have several units of Perry stradiots and I do not recall much flash at all.

      Thanks Jonathan! Yes,eminently usable troops,no I've never had a problem with Perry stradiots, quite a bit on the old glory ones,but they paint up nicely!

    All of them are cool. The pic of the four bases alongside together is evocative, I love it.

    Another great looking unit and I do really like the obvious light cavakry look.

    Lovely work again Iain. Sticking the hands on would be fiddly enough, but then having to drill them through? I really don’t think I’d have the patience for that. Did many of the hands come unstuck during the proc ss?

      Thanks Lawrence! Luckily no hands came off! I like the figures but well fiddly!

    Very nice too - although attaching an individual hand THEN drilling it must be a bit of a challenge for the glue you use! these are very nice sculpts - OG can vary from range to range but these are their better ones obviously!

    Thanks Keith! Yes one of their better range,lots of character but a bit too fiddly I think!

    A shame with the hands but the end result has been worth it. Lovely painting and basing Iain.
    Cheers,

      Thanks Pat! Bit of a pain but all over now, it's all in the name of choice I guess and removing duplication, which I'm all for but there are limits!
