"After I finally finished the first third of Tilly's army and painted it with a box of Zvezda's Turkish Horsemen, we thought it was time to take them into battle.

Nice find Tango. Those Zvezda sculpts are superb.
I wonder whether the pikemen are Revell with extended pikes? If so the extensions (possibly done with the visible silver sleeves) are excellent.

You are probably right. Big job to replace the pikes! For a moment I had thought someone had found an easy way to make these excellent Revell figures perfect.
