Italian Wars Swiss Pike

Quite a while ago, I bought thirty two secondhand 28mm Swiss Pike.  I think that they might be Old Glory miniatures.


They were in pretty good condition but did need some TLC, a few new pikes and general reinvigorating.  Plus, they all wore yellow and black or yellow and blue livery which I did not want.  So, out came the pliers, wire and paint.

Here's the result.

First up are the figures from above freshened up in the blue and white for the canton of Zurich.






The second have been redone in a mix of green and black for Schaffhausen and the white and black for Appenzell.





All flags, except the Swiss Confederation flag, are from Pete's Flags.

I'm currently re-lancing, flagging and rebasing some secondhand men at arms. Then, onto painting some command stands that have been a long time in the queue.

  2. Nice job on your refurbishment project! Those are definitely Old Glory sculpts.

  3. Beautiful work Richard. I'll have to remember those colour combinations for when I finally get around to doing some Swiss.
