Anyway an interesting thought about Charles the bold as he was wounded in the throat by a pike at Ruplemonde I think and he may have grown one to cover the scar and although beards were not in fashion then, they are still seen occasionally in contemporary painting like this.

Wasn't that Corneille of Burgundy who got facestabbed by a fleeing pikeman in that battle?

Nice sculpt either way. Although a bit too late an era for me.

Yes your right, Charles was wounded by a sword at another battle much later

Thanks again

Here is the next figure, in a fluted Maximilian armour. The Perry plastic hand is just temporary it will be replaced with a lance also the head a plume are just stuck on and there are quite a few refinements to do yet

I love them, but would there by technical problem to make reins the way he would at last half touch them ?

Thats my personal pet peeve with horse raiders, i want mine to keep reins in hand which prooves to be difficult in most cases but with such bespoke miniatures why not easy fix that a little ? Would that be a technical problem ?

This is also one of my pet issues with most mounted figures, don't worry it is not finished yet once I have completed them them will all be holding reigns.
If you look at my samurai you will see they all hold them, but they are single piece castings and that was one reason I did them that way.
With these new figures I will have to do it differently as the riders are detachable.

Very nice - I am looking forward to these :)

How is your production from the Kickstarter going?  The last update was a month ago.
