Painted one of the horses today; the mount for the
Ulrich Von Lichtenstein figure.
The barding is based on the image below from the
Codex Manesse.
I left off the barding over the ears; as well as the tassels and buttons along the top of the barding. I plan to paint the horse for the Otto Von Brandenburg figure next. There isn't a picture of the horse, but it will have his shield design repeated on the barding. The image below of Otto is also from the codex.
The background color of the shield looks like it would be black (sable), but Mirliton's painted figure shows it to be white (argent).
Looks really great!
