Thoughts ?

[Helm]

Thinking of getting this http://bartonminiatures.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/k1-landsknecht-horseman-1520.html as my Xmas loot from Mrs Helm anybody had experience with it ? Alternatively budget is about £75 so any ideas welcome, only thing I don't fancy is WWI onwards stuff
Thanks
Steve

You could always consider Border Minatures mounted Reiver

Actually the Victort Miniatures Edward I, paints up really well if you go for a real battle worn look with all the gore and dirt. And it's great value.
I did one as a gift and was well pleased with the result,

I had a good look at Victory Miniatures stand at Telford they have a lot of really nice figures and very reasonable prices in all seriousness, seemed a very nice bunch too, the naval models in particular took my eye as we don't have a lot of those about.

Hi Steve, I sold one on Ebay last week (original Barton Kit) for £49, wish I had known you were looking! Be careful of the the Kitney, recasts (It's the KItnet site you are looking at) , I had one and sent it back because the casting was horrific. They may have improved but these molds/masters are getting very old now.
