Thanks all.
Must say, I do like that onion shaped kettle hat too.
(Suggested to Michael Perry by our very own Dalauppror :))

Here's a piece of totally unrelated Medieval trivia for you all:

Did you know that Apples were often referred to as Onions in Medieval times- I might have got that the wrong way around but it's still pretty strange!

Richard,

I've just had a thought, will you be bringing any of these to Salute so I can have a 'in the flesh' look at them? i'd be really interested in seeing them???

Obviously if it's too much hassle don't bother matey (Salute on top of carrying stuff you don't need is a thing that one does not need!)

There's one on LAF somewhere, which later contributed to an article or two in WSS  :)

Quite so  :)
Not planning to bring any painted figures to the Salute with me. I need all the room in my bag for new purchases.

Thought as much. I'll hopefully see your work up close one day  :)

Wonderful beyond comparison, Richard!  :-*

What colours did you use for the golden embroidery on Richard's coat of arms?

Cheers
Stefan

Thank you Stefan  :)

The base colour for the yellow heraldic devices is Inscribe / Palmer Prism 'caramel' (It's a craft paint, sadly now discontinued)
The highlight is made mixing 50% Vallejo Flat Yellow with the caramel.
And the final highlight by adding a touch of white into the mix.
