Hi gents
A few more pics of the Crusade collection this time loosely based on the battle in the woods on the road to Arsuf. Once I have enough figures I hope to represent the battle a bit better with the baggage and ships on the shoreline.

Great figs! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Toma I wish you did 28mm figures your 1/72 are great.
DeleteExcellent paintwork and pics, once again...I love Robert de Dreux!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil I have his relative in 15mm Peter it is a great coat of arms.
DeleteGorgeous collection - there is something about early heraldry - the simple geometric designs (not simple to paint, though) translate well on barding and such. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean I have been trying for some weeks now to add comments to your blog but keep being frozen out for some reason.
DeleteYou have did a great job on those 15mm figures my eyes couldn't do them any more!
A lovely collection indeed!
