This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham - Another Perry Miniature
Here is the Duke of Buckingham figure from the three figure Perry set. Sir Humphrey was a close supporter of Henry VI, yet tried to keep the peace between the king and the Duke of York. He was wounded at the First Battle of St Albans.
The figure is in full plate armor of the period with a civilian coat over it. He is also wearing a fashionable headdress - or possibly drying his hair with a towel.
The duke was present at the relatively bloodless Battle of Ludlow Bridge which had Yorkists leaders escape before overwhelming Lancastrian forces.

The King Henry VI figure is next.

ReplyDeleteYou are lapping me once again Dean! It seems my production is at the lowest point I can remember. I've no doubt that being out of work is seriously affecting my painting-fu.
Anyway, here's to brighter days ahead - and more great miniatures flowing from your painting desk!
Thanks, Greg. Sorry to hear about your current tough times. I'm praying things will improve soon. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteYou've made a great result of this Perry sculpt - I'd go as far as to say the good Duke of Stafford is pretty "Fashion Forward" with that head adornment;0)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Soren. Who would've thought a bath towel wrapped around wet hair was a status symbol. Best, Dean
DeleteGreat painting work!! I love this colours!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike. I think some clothing may have had fancy embroidery, but with the nicely sculpted folds, it was just as well to just add highlights. Warm regards, Dean
