I have a question to Middle Age specialists = what are the colours worn by the Standard bearers knights.
Here is one A3, standard bearer of the Constable of France painted with light green background and crosses blue, I believe, He has no specific name; is colour lefte to appreciation, or to searches in the History to find out who was bearing the flag?  Engraving was done with a reason perhaps ?
Basically standard bearers worn colours recalling those of the lord, obiouvsly non wearing same heraldry. In this case however i think you are speaking of the stadard of Constable of France intended as first officer of the crown , white with yellow fleur de lys,  and not of Charles d'Albert in himself  which has his own banner bearer. In this case I think you can choise any coluors you enjoy, in a vignette Mario Venturi represent the bearer wearing a dark red tunic with gold/yellow  figures.
Hope this is usefull.

Yes !!!

I found too my two knights, BEAUTIFUL ....

Perhaps I would post the WIP in a separate post to avoid a big mix-up, because I am slow and busy on others, but on this public menu, like "BFFS Agincourt Project 2018 - WIP Michel  (or Hannibal?)" for the two characters.

Must visit Alain next week, to recuperate my two flats, and so start planning the preparation for painting....
I strated looking at the coloursof the coat of arms, and will probably use brighter colours than Francesco, to avoid a copy paste without any inspiration!!!
But I will keep the light coming from the front left side as standard source to shadow the flats!!
Any new candidate to join ??
