Our experts in the mode should take some ideas from that time to change from the boring jeans and t-shirts and baskets we have all around the world nowadays…  Look at the population in the streets …even colours are sad and uniform.  They had some good ideas  AH!AH !!




Beautiful painting and I ile your horses also!

Thank you.

@ Hannibal: when I was a small Boy my aunt made me a Landsknecht-style trousers for carnival. She told me that ist was a lot of work and she won´t do again. So I´m not sure if this Kind of clothing Comes in Fashion again ;-)


@ Sandor: generelly I have alot of ideas for Dioramas in my head but most of it stays in my head. Maybe I going to set up a scene on a board like you do.


These figures planed for a scene which I hope to finish till Eastern.


The Palatine troops are already finished and I hope to arange the for photo within the next weeks.

Thanks Christoph, I was somewhat joking, they would be so expensive that nobody could buy them.


But I could appreciate that their colour schemes are all different !!

Yes Hannibal, such a fashion would be expensiv and not very useful in every days live.

In Germany brass bands called "Fanfarenzug" took up this style.

I generally based the colours on contemporary paintings. The colourful clothing was used mainly by german Landsknechts and swiss Reissläufern and was not the common dress of the period. So the soldiers used this clothing to seperate themselves from other.

I use to paint only one or two figures at one time to give them an individual looking.
