The plate barding on Henry VI's and the Earl of Warwick's horses are spare parts from the Mounted Men at Arms box. |
How they might have looked if they were victorious over Edward IV at Barnet. |
The plate barding for the Kingmaker was cut in half - fore and aft to allow proper seating of the figure. |
The cantels of the saddles on the plastic horses were trimmed off as the metal mounted figures have this piece cast as part of the figures. Otherwise, the fit is very good. |
An earlier painted Henry VI and Duke of Buckingham as they might've appeared at First St Albans are on the far right. |
Lovely work, Dean. I like the effect you got on the armour, which is set off nicely by the standard.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgivings to you, too.
I forgot it was Thanksgiving- aside from falling on different dates in Canada and the US, it isn't celebrated as such in Japan, so like Easter it always just drops off my radar (although today is actually the Labour Day holiday here).
Thank you very much, Robert. Yes, I had considered the post's title, figuring Thanksgiving is a US holiday/observance only, might seem a bit "centrist." :) Warm regards, Dean

DeleteI wondered what you were up too, glad to see you back which means you survived the fender bender, and did not have the fence fall on you. Ah, the life of a wargamer, it's never easy is it. Oh yeah, and nice figures:)
