All very good and the arquebusier is excellent.  I like the dervish, too - clever use of the bucket!

Totally agree with Gordon on both points. :yup:

How did you paint the red and yellow stripes so neatly? Did you use tape? Looks amazing! 8-)

At first I was confused as to how you created the wide cuff on the breeches, but then I remembered your topic about painting shoes and worked out that you had painted over the high boot style found on some soldiers and pirates! :)
Very clever idea, indeed! :)9

I have used sticky of colors, cut in fine strips and stuck tape with extreme taken care of

The wristbands are made with sticky tape and Teflon(R) tape

Some parts are painted with permanent markers of colors silver, gold, red, black, blue & green.

The moustache are cutted & painted with brown permanent marker in very fine lines for merge with the original white

The belts & sash's are made with the same tecniques of wristbands

Now it touches the turn to him "landsknecht", that fought like mercenarios during XVI century under the reign of Carlos V (of Germany and Spain) and the Austria house.

They comprised of I exercise next to the Tercios.

They were used specially to break the powerful one and heavy Swiss infantry of pikemans, the best infantry of the time.

But combinacion of landsknechts and Tercios I take to a result far better.

Here the images go,

I hope that you like

This figure looks great!  :o

I see you used some tapes for making the stripes, put how did you managed to make the arms and the body look so smooth? There I can't see any hints for using tapes  ??? How did you managed this?

Hello

First very fine and long strips must be cut, of around 30 cm.

For it it agrees to stick the sticky tape on a cut surface like a cutter-matt

You use one metallic ruler and divers cutters

The cuts must be parallel. It agrees to use drawing techniques.

The strips must be larger than the piece, later they are cut

The strips will stick on each piece of the figure having disassembled the same one previously.

You begin to always adhere by the center, and you divide the parts that are, we continued dividing and beginning by the new center

They are all good, but the Spanish Tercios arquebusier is the best!

Reminds me of Captain Alatriste.
