Hi Roger,
thank you for the info. The book somehow escaped my attention, but now I shall look after it.


Hi Fesak,
there is a very nice series about the Battle of Mohacs 1526 edited by Kieler Zinnfiguren http://www.kieler-zinnfiguren.de/Listen/Mohacs.html
I have also painted the figures, here are two photos about them:


Of course I think this is a great set and very well executed!

The figure at the top with mace (high Hungarian nobleman) can be employed as Zapolya Janos (who became later the Hungarian king under the name John I.) - however Zapolya personally did not participate in the Mohacs battle.


Best regards-
Sandor

Love your Mohacs figures Sandor, they look really nice.

Dear Sandor, thank you    yes, you are correct, I ment his brother Gyorgy who attended the battle, but did not specify it earlier

Hi Roger!
Last time I forgot something:
 

Last week I received Warriors of the Hungarian Frontier 1526-1686 by Vegvari Vitezek

Since this is one of my favorite periods (beginning of the 16 c. in Hungary) I should like to know who is the editor of these figures?
Are they flats?
Thanks a lot for the information.
Best regards-
Sandor

Hi Sandor, it is actually a book. Sorry I thought you might have heard of it. Here is a link to it on Amazon UK.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Warriors-Hungarian-Frontier-1526-V%C3%A9gv%C3%A1ri/dp/9633275571/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1452580302&sr=1-1&keywords=warriors+of+the+hungarian+frontier

The artwork is, shall we say, unique but there is plenty of it and the author has a reputation for accuracy.
Also have a look here,

Gorgious !!!!
I love this period and have a few of these olfhafer .........;  very nice interpretation, extremely well detailed !!!! Impressive indeed....

[Roger]

Thanks very much Nick.

[Nicholas Ball]

Very nice looking figures, one of my favourite figure period

[Roger]

Thank you very much Sandor.
Last week I received Warriors of the Hungarian Frontier 1526-1686 by Vegvari Vitezek so I'm looing forward to seeing what you ave in store and I might be following a similar route myself soon. 

[snagy]

Nice work - I like it, Roger!!!
In the last week I also received about 10 horsemen from the Oldhafer Polish Hussars series.
The figures are quite similar to the outlook of the Hungarian Hussars of the beginning of the 16. century - so I should like to "employ" them in this role.
I shall report my headway soon.
Best regards-
Sandor
