Thanks for all the supportive comments!
Some in standing poses would be good, skirts or a rich coat over armour would represent both sides nobility at Flodden, here's some inspiration
The next couple I do will be static.
Thanks for those pictures they are very interesting.
Nice plumage - lovely rendering of the 'Maximillian' armour too!
My favourite (so far...)!
Simon.
Cheers simon, the Maximilian armour has intimidated me for ages, so it's good to have a bash at it, glad you think it's convincing.
I think you got quite close with what his comrades would have called him there.  lol

Nevertheless ostentatious displays of wealth and drawing the eyes of your superiors to your actions in battle was what they were all about. He's doing it right.

 :)
You certainly would be able to see a character like that from a distance! But perhaps not so easy if he was among Landskneckts! It appears this was the age of plumes..

Fantastic looking figure, in a fantastic age. Lovely plummage, not something you get to say about miniatures very often!

Kickstarter launched!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/536771983/armoured-knights

This will test the water, if the funding goal is met some more miniatures will be added to the campaign.
They are in pair as I now prefer that packing format.
Cheers

hi, I've been tempted before but this is the first kickstarter where I've taken the plunge and made a pledge.  Good luck and the figures look excellent.

cheers Pete

I'm guessing that they're compatible at least size wise as the previous men at arms HYW/WoR style sculpts Oliver produced were just that.

The sizes look perfect

I have pledged for two pairs as generals for my Burgundian's.

It is slightly fantasy but, they were famous for having the most up to date equipment.

Regards


Mick
