Large Scale Medieval Figures Reviewed/Revisited

Experimenting with a cheap sheet of green paper to "green screen" photos, here are some large scale Medieval figures. Most were painted many years ago prior to getting into wargaming. There's a bit of a green tinge to the photos - I may need to adjust the lighting so it doesn't reflect the green onto the figures.These are 120mm figures by Verlinden, Fort Duquesne, and a very hefty metal Berruto figure of John d'Abernon

Left to right: Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, Falkirk, 1298; Sir Roger Bigod, Earl Marshal, Falkirk, 1298; Sir John D'Abernon III, died around 1340; Prince John of Eltham, Halidon Hill, 1333; Sir Giles de Trumpington, Falkirk, 1298; German Knight, circa 1350. A BTD 28mm figure of Sir Laurence Hastings, Earl of Pembroke, died 1348 - for scale. Most of these guys participated in the Scottish campaigns. Decals were used for Prince John and Trumpington; the lions for Sir Roger are paper cut outs glued on

Left to right: 120mm figures of Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury, Agincourt; 120mm mounted figure of the Black Prince; 1/12th scale figure of the Black Prince - an old Airfix plastic kit; 160mm figure of Thomas Beauchamp, 4th Earl of Warwick, 1388. A BTD 28mm figure of Owain Glyndŵr for scale.

Here are some better pics of them individually - again from another website that I haven't updated for some years.

Roger Bigod - The lion rampant designs were printed out from a computer and cut out and applied.

Giles de Trumpington - the heraldry on the shield and ailettes are decal from Border Miniatures.

Aymer de Valence

John D'Abernon III - this guy is solid metal, unlike the rest which are resin. The sword was polished with steel wool.

Prince John of Eltham - Border Miniatures decals are used on the shield and cylcas (short surcoat).

German Knight circa 1350 - I converted this Verlinden figure by cutting off the gambeson between the end of the haubergeon and top of the knee cops. I replaced it with padded and studded cuisses to match the coat of plates. The chain hanging over his shoulder is for a great helm (not included in the kit). Drops of blood are indicative of being wounded in battle.

Thomas Beauchamp - This is a very nicely detailed resin sculpture from Verlinden.

Thomas Montacute - this Verlinden model is marketed as Guillaume de Martel, and had faint outlines for his three hammer heraldry. In fact, I had painted this figure up with the arms of Bertrand du Guesclin before repainting it as the Earl of Salisbury.

Prince of Wales - this OOP Airfix kit was picked up off of ebay some years ago. The kit still appears from time to time on ebay and elsewhere. I actually had another kit, but gave it away to a friend. This is probably the nicest kit from their 1/12th range. I also have Richard I and Joan of Arc kits. The raised heraldry on this kit is flawless.

Just some eye-candy, which I hope meets your approval. Warmest regards to all.
