Thanks for sharing this , plenty to paint with a nice blank canvas for the shield , the crossbow looks well done and looking at the website a really good price of £36 plus shipping
Also noted Carl has available the Eastern Viking, Nubian and the WW1 Piper
A nice figure somewhat spoilt by the helmet. The visor in particular looks odd which I would leave off.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what a talented painted will do with that pavise.
From around 1250 onwards, was when crossbows first appeared in significant numbers, but there are references to it much earlier, there's even mention of them at Hastings. The Pavise however is a bit later, roughly early 1300s.
