Swiss Halberdier from Lucerne, 1476 AD (75mm resin)

[Cyrill I.]

The kit is an unspecified "Medieval Infantryman" by Medieval Forge Miniatures (sculpting by Nikita Ableev).

I decided to paint it in the colours of the Swiss city-state of Lucerne, having the Burgundian Wars in mind.

He came with an alternate left arm without the goose and 3 options for headgear - a felt cap, a sallet and a kettle hat that I was planning on using originally, but unfortunately it had space issues with the halberd and I used the sallet in a raised position instead.

I messed up in a few places (still struggling with skintones) , but I like how it turned out and it was fun to paint.

Very well painted. As Malc rightly says, the metals are very well rendered indeed.
