Title: Knights around 1500
Post by: Christoph on June 15, 2019, 12:00:42 PM
Hello,
here are two knight from the Bosworth set by Western Miniatures which are now edited by Frank Dittmar of Schmalkalden.
I´m going to use them for the Italian Wars around 1500 so I painted the one on the right as frenchman.

Magnificent, Christoph (muhteşem in Turkish) !!
I have them also for Botsworth but in a long list of priorities....

Like your lining to make details distinct in 30mm!!

Very nice painting.
I like the figures have them in my "Zinnsarg"
How can I see that the one is a Frenchman?

Thank you,

I have done a mistake. The left one is the French.

At that time there were no uniformes and the French used the white cross of St. Denis as field sign. It is painted on the horse armour. Normally it was also painted on the breast of the harness but with this figures only a small part would be seen and the effect would be gone so I didn´t painted it there.

At the moment I´m painting some more of them and I will Show them within the next week here.

Hello,
here is the rest I have painted so far.
I think I have shown the banner before but it fits well to the other.
The name of the editor is written below. I knights in the first picture edited now by Frank Dittmar were original edited by Western Minatures as part of the Bosworth set.
