Thanks for the encouragement!
I am though no longer in charge of the project. The project owns me and keeps expanding beyond control!  o_o ;D

I just realize that I need minis for all the main characters of this drama and I am lacking a few which I would be grateful to receive some proposals. My biggest concern is to find a suitable King Henry II of Jerusalem. He was 21 years old in 1291 and I would ideally like to have him portrayed as he leaves Acre by ship May 18. I imagine him in chainmail and a surcoat with a sword sheated ( not drawn). Maybe with a mantle and a crown on his head. Very much like this one but dismounted:

 Any ideas out there?

Great project. You try these from Crusader

http://www.crusaderminiatures.com/prod.php?prod=964 (you'll need to do an arm swap)

http://www.crusaderminiatures.com/prod.php?prod=108 (swap the heads on the top two maybe)

Thanks Col Tubby,

Great proposals! The armswap is beyond my skills I am afraid, but the other is definately a strong candidate. Many thanks!

Thanks for your comments!

Continue to have some fun with LoTR conversions - Boromir the Templar!





And staging a few action shots with Boromir and a few Templar sergeants are skirmishing in a village outside Acre before the siege:







In another part of the village a group of Templars are cornered:





But the one of the men shouts for help:



and Prince Amalric, Lord of Tyre comes to the rescue:

Excellent work all around and wonderful use of the various LotR miniatures.
Now what is this whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage?
