Ah! AH! Ah, Mark, exactly the same for me !!

Like most or all of us I purchase flats with the specific intent to paint them. Some like these I save for special occasions with the specific intent to do a little extra something as they are so beautifully engraved. (I tend to be that way with Mohr as well.) So the short answer is I am not yet sure - I suspect I will try several of them soon and if history tells me anything they may be painted several times until I am happy.
At the moment I am working on Scholtz's history of costume and some Gottstein Aztecs, then we will see. (If I live the necessary 250 years I am going to have a stunning painted collection.)

Hannibal:
When shall you paint them, Mark ??

A thoroughly iconic set with some of the most beautiful medievals ever engraved - there are many examples in our galleries of these beautiful figures engraved by Frank.

Mike Taylor highlighted these figures way back in a journal article in 1987:

Mike noted the bulk of this set was completed by November 1981 with some soldiers added in 1989. In my case this set is apparently from the same collector I purchased the Crusader siege from 6 years earlier - 2015 and 2021.
