You want what making ?

I'm forgetting how late Flodden was of course. By that time the nobles and some of the richer men at arms would have had high quality steel plate good enough to give some serious protection against longbow fire. I'd guess that if it was anything like some of the late Hundred Years War period battles though, not all plate armour would be high enough quality to stop most longbow arrows, and not all the Scots would have had plate armour.

The points are often made that producing men able to use a longbow needs a level of intensive commitment from society, and that there was a mounting shortage of suitable wood as time went on; bows wore out faster than England could grow yews. By Tudor times, bow wood was being imported from the Baltic.

[Dunnadd]

Interesting - didn't know they ever had a shortage of wood for them

Flodden is often taken as a Scots loss.
I think that is wrong.
In fact it was a massive loss!
James blowing himself up with his own artillery helps...

Wrong James I think, ML!   . James 2nd gets blown up by his own artillery in 1460. It is his grandson, innovatively and imaginatively called James 4th, who gets hacked to pieces at Flodden.

Dagnabbit, they should have chosen more original names for their kings, like George, or Henry, or Edward!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Charlie is quite good as well..and Bill.

Didn't they find his preserved head in a London museum some years ago?

PLEASE NOTE, CHUMS ...... For the moment, and for a minimum of a good few months I won't be able to do any 'extras' in the ways of new sculpts or conversions for anyone.

I may be able to resurrect this at some later stage, but it all depends on how busy I am......Also how busy poor Leon & Dave are in respect of moulding and casting.
Too much to do, and not enough time to do it...For all of us.  

Cheers - Phil

(I'm going to lock this thread for the time being, so there's this notice at the beginning and the end of the topic !)
Hopefully save any confusion.

Still not working.

Does that mean it's not too late to add a few things to the list?
