It's a conversion (different head, anyway) of a Pegaso French Knight at Agincourt (54-005). I'm just about finished that figure, built OOB. The neck armor is molded as an ellipse in the kit (to match the turned head = stoopid!!). The link at Pegaso's site You can't really see it there, but...

Hi Mike the Kiwi is great for finding all the relevant threads. And if you don't pay Delphi, you can't access stuff over 2 months old without a link; so you wouldn't have found the reviews anyway! Cheers Andy

...and remarkably long-lived despite the crazy lifestyle and threat of cannonballs... I gather he does soundtrack work now.

Salut Francis I cross-country skied the Plains of Abraham. It's an odd thing to do in historical context... And Québec city is a GREAT place to visit in the summer or winter!! Andy

Hi Bob Your 'dark painting' method is coming along very well! ;) The pinstripes look very well done, and the flesh color is a healthy British pink. Cheers Andy

Well, it's not too different here! You have a lot more recorded history in the UK, with more architectural remains. In North America, historical sites are regulary disrupted, but most of the time they weren't written about, and things were made of wood, hide and so on. I know that around London...

Hi Interesting thread... I'm about an hour and a half from Fort Niagara, and the site of lots of battles in the War of 1812. There are a few ruins nearer Rochester related to the war and fortifications built around that time. There are some Native American historical sites nearby, and there...

I got some back issues of Figure International from Squadron a couple of weeks ago (they're selling the 2nd year of issues at $2.99 each). Man there is NOTHING in them. The pictures are nice, but the content in the text is useless! And the translation is pretty poor too. Robert, I just finished...

Great paint job! I hope he has some cover though, or the target is likely to deal with him pretty quickly!! Andy

Hi I find the same thing, there's a stack of magazines, and I rarely examine them. One thing I did was create a database of the contents of all the issues of Military Modelling I have and had. That way I can find things if I think to look for them! When there was nothing of interest to me in...

and then Bob posts the same instructions simultaneously...

Hi Ben Happy Birthday!! Sorry I missed it! :( Good party? To add quotes, etc., go into myControls from the main page. Under editSignature you can add text etc. The only thing is that it changes your signature for all messages ever posted! I've seen some temporary signatures that looked...

If you want guys in overcoats, I know Hornet or Wolf used to sell a couple of GIs looking at a helmet/cap one had in hand. I looked on theire website, and couldn't find it, so I'm not sure if it's OOP. They'd be a good start depending on your idea. There are some TD crew figures from Warriors...

Hi If you can find them, Yanks had some good figures. There were various tank crew and GI figures at rest and in casual poses. The Warriors catalogue is huge, there should be something there. Or you could covert some of the Tamiya or DML US figures... Cheers Andy

Hear, hear!! Disagreements do not equal personal attacks. People seem to be unaware of this. I can disagree with someone but still respect them and their opinion. I don't see how a discussion of what we like to see in figures is disruptive, but what do I know... Andy

Well, again, I'm none of the above!! I mostly paint stock kits, but I do convert as required. Conversions are more likely when I work with plastic figures, and I tend to do metal and resin right out of the box. Cheers Andy

I like it. I'm not a huge fan of the straight up and down figures, but this one looks good. And it's different. He could easily be adapted for lots of locales in the 17th century. Andy

Hi John. Super work! Andy

Cool. Lots of replacement heads for us released in the last little while!

Cool idea. Been watching lots of "Deadwood"?? ;) Andy
