What a great piece that bust is. Seen the subject a hundred times before but it's always nice to see a new example if it's done this well.

This is a perfect example of the classic bust form for me - just enough of the arms to suggest their presence and how they're held relative to the torso, with the bottom cut off at an angle to remove most of the back (relatively boring expanse of fabric) and giving it that elegant 'to the front' aspect.

Escultura: M.Springer & A.Jula

I wonder if it's a true collaboration between Matt and Andrea or if it was just made using a portion that was previously sculpted (for consistency)?

All three are my cup of tea.
Cannot make a choice. That's a long time since i found something I wanna have from Pegaso. I want all three of them.
But that Hussar is outstanding.

Frank warrior is AWESOME.
Great job Benoit.

 

[pinsel]

interesting the frank.with his lance called ANGO of which are only 10 or so are found till today.seems that only high ranking had one.but from the outfit of it it would have been an high noble in any kind.the painting is very appealing.the shield design is extremly pretty on this.
the crusader is nice too because he spots the right swordform of this date.but i would not paint it in this boring crusader colour one has seen simply to much of them.in an nice manessa codex paint sheme it would look very nice.
the bust is great hopefully its resin and not metall.i have some metall busts here from alexandos models.while they are nice they are made up from severall hollow parts and stay open at lower end of their torsos .so its very difficult to insert an rod or something for mounting them.one must fill them up with milliput and so again they get more hefty the way.therefore i am not to keen on metall busts.from the weight i would not want to speak.

A quick visit to the Pegaso site reveals that the Hussar bust is indeed resin.

I think the best releases in the last month.
The crusader is superb not static full action and a lot of possibilytes for painting.
Bravo to all of you there!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the hussar bust. And the knight is cool too - like the pose.

 

[Glen]

All very nice - especially the Frank. But... no 54mm this month?

That crusader is an absolute must for me. Just an outstanding action pose and the best figure I have seen released this year.

That crusader is an absolute must for me. Just an outstanding action pose and the best figure I have seen released this year.

Make that two of us. My early vote is in for the Templar Knight. The Hussar bust is simply fantastic as well.

To all the other manufactures and sculpters out there:
This is the standard for 2011. Good luck!

Hi all.The three figures are fantastic, excellent quality as always in Pegaso.
I just want to comment on the bust of the hussar.
I don´t want to spend smart, but Hussars soldiers usually wore two belts
overlapping, one for the cartridge pouch and the other for the hook of the carbine.
I don´t know why the sculptor decided to place only one.

[polyphemus]

Could be he's an officer.

[Edorta]

Could be, but I don´t think so.The belt all white was only for soldiers trumpetters and N.C.O s.
The strap of the officers used to be usually red, black or dark blue, depending on the regiment. They had also gold or silver rivet and fittings in accordance with the metal of uniform buttons.

Not be so picky. Anyway, he may have left the strap of the rifle, to make a light charge only with the saber.

Here´re some french hussars officers.

 

[joegabo]

Nice

Hello,

I just have to say that the painting on the crusader is fantastic, I just love the style. (makes me want one and not want one all at the same time, as replication to that standard will probably kill me) hehe

Take care,
Joe

Pegaso should pat themselves for this release. Nicely done on all three. The Crusader is my favorite. I love that action pose. My only fault with it is the surcoat. And its an ongoing problem common with several medieval figures. I wish these guys would use a little common sense and do some research when it comes to surcoats. If the guy is a knight (as is so often depicted) and this is re-enforced by the figure wearing spurs, a flap in the front between the legs is in the way. A horseman's surcoat is split up the middle so it falls to either side of the saddle and his legs and does not get caught up as he throws his leg over the saddle as he gets on and off the horse. Especially since many medieval saddles in the 12th-15th centuries are depicted with high pommels or swells and high cantles.
Guys, I love your work and my grey army is swollen with your releases but please get this right for a change.

Im a lilttle curious of how the chainmail of the crusader looks live and unpainted? In some of the photos the structure of it looks a bit simplified?
