@Fred : as D_Guy noted figures are widely modified :

- The priest is a EC2 "unarmoured pike"
- The kneeling soldier is a EC8 "peasant"
- De Melo is a  EC1 "General" (this figure has almost  not been modified)
- Processionning soldiers are EC24 "Petard and crew"
- Bannermen are EC2 "Unarmoured pike"

Hello Ralph.

Welcome to the Forum.

I have just been looking at your list of interests - many of which I share.

Which bit of WWII do you study? Also, which Dark Age armies?

Well ... I'm a very big fan of WW2, I painted almost all existing armies in 28mm and 15mm for Bolt Action and Chain of Command, in 10mm I'm looking for 1940 armies.

My favoirite Dark Ages armies are Saxon, Viking and Normans for a 1066 campaign.

Lovely model of the Spanish general. Thanks for the information on codes as I am currently building some 10mm TYW stuff.

Thanks. I see the petard crew now, and the priest, although you have done a lot of work to him.

Very imaginative use of stock Pendraken figures. Well done, sir!  :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Excelent period of WW" they have lots of interesting armies.

I have Poles, Belgians and BEF for 1940.  Early war Russian and German  (up to siege of Moscow). I will shortly be Japanese for Russo Japanese, as well as for Burma.
