Those are terrific; I'd certainly buy a bunch of them if they became commercially available.

Hurrah, more bodies! The one with plate armour and livery coat looks particularly useful.

Do you think you will sell these without the arms and heads first, or wait until they are done as well before releasing them?

Hey Charlie
Yes those are intended to be sold as they are. I made them specifically to be combined with Perry bits that we all have by the loads. At a later stage they could become full fledged minis offcourse. I’m making the 10th right now.

For our tenth entry, we got Gothic Metal. This concludes this set but I have to admit that Im really addicted into making these so expect some more at some point. Right now the program includes romanesque Burgundians (and a few commissions).

Most excellent.  :D
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Fantastic job, I think some of these,dare I say it,eclipse the Perry sculpts! I could certainly do with about sixty if these to complete my Tewksbury forced and maybe another sixty or so for my Italian Wars Army.
I have a bad case of prescient nostalgia. The future's not what it used to be.

Right, looking forward to getting a few. And looking forward to seeing the neo-roman mins once they are done as well.  :D

Awesome!

One thing about the latest gothic armour though.... his crotch looks a bit unprotected? No tassets or mail skirt? What about a sword belt?

The sculpting is top quality regardless! :)

That was my reaction too when I saw some museum pieces, but then I saw pics of re enactors having the same kit and I was convinced that it must have been a thing and I kinda wanted these to be odd ones in general.

Maybe I should add a sword belt

That’s a huge compliment, as I’m a real fan of the Perry sculpts, thank you.

It's true you do often see them 'unprotected crotches'! Not all armour covered 100% of the body, and certain pieces could be left off for practical reasons (or perhaps they were in a hurry to get suited up!) so it'll work just fine as is :)

Ooh, would that also be something 15th century by any chance?
