120mm Verlinden Resin Mid-14th C. German and Hungarian Knights

Finished up the two 120mm resin knights. The guy lifting his visor is supposed to be a Hungarian knight with the coat of arms based upon those of the House of Anjou in Hungary. The other one is supposed to be the German knight Otto von Orlamunde. Not sure of his coat of arms, so painted his shield in a gyronny cross, common to the period and area.

Used the cast bases that came with the kits. Retaining chains for weapons, shields, and great helms were common to the German and Hungarian knights of the period (14th C.).

I painted a modified version of the German knight years ago. I gave that one splinted and riveted forearms and also brigandinethigh armor.

Well, enough for now - I have an old army buddy visiting me this weekend. He's a former SF Medic and sniper, and also a recently retired surgeon. We knew each when we were roomates back at Fort Ord in the early 1980's. He taught me how to play guitar and we saw the Clash, Who, and Ramones together back then. He also writes science fiction stuff on the side - he has a series of books out on Amazon. I think it's based upon a Green Beret who somehow gets transported to another dimension - here's a link to the site in case anyone is  interested:  https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B08YC2Y6MV  He gave me one of this books, Tier 1000, but haven't read it yet. I'm not really into scifi. Anyway, plan to host a few games once his visit is over - namely a Gempei War game using Tribal, and also a Siege of Ulsan game with the Imjin War figures. Not sure of the rules for the siege game, but might come up with some kind of home brew rules. Until then, thanks again for dropping by and wishing you all the best.
