4 x 28mm Perry miniatures 1st Crusade Norman Cavalry

Status: Dispatched on 12th of November.

Above the completed group looking good, longer chain mail and surcoats on the two figures on the right really add some variety to this group.

Above a close up of the lengthend surcoats after painting.

Above and below work in progress on the alterations;longer surcoats and chainmail in a later/ Italian style.

Here the extra work in green putty above.

And below the finished group before requested alterations.

These conversions were quite time consuming quite  but relatively easy to do 

The surcoats and head gear help to add variety to quite a small range of figures.Details such as the arrow and sword cuts in the shields help bring the figures to life.

Here green putty is used to to create surcoats and arabised headgear for these for riders,two swords have been removed and drilled out for spears/ standards.

Below all four nearly finished on the green putty phase.

Breton knights command group 28mm Perry miniatures conversions

Status: Work in Progress

I love Perry miniatures but they never seem to cover a range as comprehensively as I would like before they move onto a new project, with the first crusade range they only have three or four command figures for the crusader side , so I am having to start chopping them about to get some variety, below some photos of figures I am working on for my own Anglo -Norman army

The shield has not yet been added

The head was pinched from an infantry man with axe.The long hair was removed as I wanted a more 1066 appearance.The body is that of Geoffrey de Bouillon. The sword hand from GB plastics Saxon Fyrd. Shields have not yet been added.

 And below another variant on the theme, this time with the Raymond of Toulouse body.

Could do with some more variety in the horse department as well , there are only currently two horse variants standing  for this range.
