Excellent work on the fluted armour! What do you have planned for the arms?

hey
Fantastic sculpting again - these are looking great.
Have you seen Toby Capwell's new book for inspiration of Italian-imported armour used in England?

And our latest addition to the company








Our new friend wears a gambeson, just a brestplate and leg armor. I really like doing those rag tag, mercenary/rank and file types.

These look fantastic! Sign me up as well to order some when you cast them.

If you're looking to sculpt more alternative options to go with Perry kits, I have two requests for bodies I've always found lacking:

1) A simple belted hauberk with unarmoured legs of the style frequently seen in central Europe, especially among the Swiss:




2) A brigandine with mail skirt, preferably dagged, of the style common in the Iberian peninsula, either with armoured or unarmoured legs, or both:




Sculpting and casting a few of these style would make it immeasurably easier to produce accurate Swiss and Iberian infantry using the Perry kits!
