Stunning.  I love the expression on the bare-headed archer's face.
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?

Great stuff, especially the expressions. They look like a right tough bunch!

Okay, so here are the first few mash-ups using parts from the new Agincourt to Orleans plastic set.

Truthfully, I’m not about to start another period. My main interest in this set is in using the parts to
1. Hybridise with the later C15th sets to create new and different figures for my Wars of The Roses armies and
2. Use the actual HYW bodies to hybridise with other plastic sets of all denominations, to create more figures for my fledgling Game of Thrones collection.

First up, a couple of longbowmen.




An inspired choice to do this with the archers- good stuff on the slightly earlier men-at-arms choices too!

Excellent job on those sir!

I was a bit dubious about whether the early and late sets would mix, but it works for me. As for size, we don't all come to scale.  ;)

To be honest, I was too. I'm going to have a play around and see if all the arms are interchangeable (the HYW arms that is not the arms from the WoR/Cousins War.

I can assure you the arms are all interchangeable (subject to a minimal amount of shaving and filling here and there. For the most part, not even that... )  :)

You never cease to inspire, a good looking host too, do you still have the Yorkist bug ?

On a boring side note; how do you update the post title?

All the best

Thanks Gary.

I really only had the Yorkist bug in order to make use of the new Foot Knights set, and then, later, the new Agincourt to Orleans set - although most of the latter will go into my Game of Thrones project...
Having now built 25 Yorkists, only two of whom are longbowmen, I guess I now need to make a load more archers. And then some mounted men at arms to bring the contingent up to strength... Then the Perrys will bring out another box - and so it goes on...  ::) ;)

To update the title of your thread, you need to go back to the first post in the thread and reopen it to 'modify' - you can then change the title of the thread. But note, it only changes the thread title - it doesn't change the title shown in all the posts all the way through, which can be slightly confusing - you'd have to go in and modify all those manually too to change them...

Thanks buddy, you're a gent.

I really want a plastic artillery set, just saying. Is it too much to ask?

No, you're right. It's not too much to ask. They've done it for ACW - they should do it for us  8)
(It can only be a matter of time... )
