Wonderful, absolutely wonderful, Christoph!!!!!


I didn't know Thomas Beier offers this group of pikemen.


But I'm little bit crazy about the size of the pikes of his figures


Historically in the engraving of this type of figures, we find pikemen with 3 m pikes (created bei v. Droster, Müller/Wünsch, Kiel) and men with 5 m pikes (Wagner, Max Fritz, Bock, Tobinnius, Sivhed).
Here we have a new length;-(

Hello,
I went on with painting some pictures for this project.
First picture shows some pikemen, recently edited by Thomas Beier. These figures wearing less armour and ragged clothing then the usual figures you can get elsewhere. So they are a nice addition.
The next picture shows these figures mixed with some other pikemen edited by Mr. Bock.

Thank you,
No worry, I´m don´t think I will paint 600 Figures of that in one run. I have now finish around 70 for the first and painting some other figures now.

@ Sandor: Some years ago Johan Lilliehöök bought the major part of Mr. Sivheds moulds including some very nice thirty year war figures. He offers a great service.

He edited some 17th century figures as well, including the "The march across the Belt", I have painted last year:

One of the values of 30 mm figures - large settings - but, 600 figures!  That is delightfully ambitious however, surprisingly achievable given your output of nicely painted figures!


Very cool idea and have fun!

Bravo Christoph, very nice figures with the usual highlevel and characterisic paintwork!
I could hardly find the editors on the very bottom: Lilliehöök-Lilliehöök-Dangelmaier
The 600 figures will keep you amused for a while - I think! ;)
Looking forward to see the next bunch!
Stay health!
Sandor

Hello,
I started to paint a bigger unit for the thirty years war.
It is the spanish tercio Idaquez which played a major roll in the battle of Nördlingen 1634. In the end there will be hopefully around 600 figures.

Here are some of the first painted figures. For those of you who are intersted in the editors I write the names below the pictures.
