I wonder if Trump would act as a model for the face?

Per fsn’s request (below) I withdraw my response.

That aside, I would like to add my name to the wishlist.

I left the real world behind long ago, and not just on this forum. :)

Hmmm, I have a suspicion that a US friend may suggest we do something other than the War of North and South for the campaign beginning this Sunday. I'd better think of a plan B.

Dang! Is no one else interested in adding these figures or was this whole thing simply a joke from the beginning?

Figured your interest was real, fsn and you were simply rolling with the punches.  :)
I have the Funcken's medieval series with many fine illustrations. If Techno and Leon are willing maybe we could work together on a commission?

I am thinking these would be useful from Neville’s Cross through Harlaw (and Agincourt if you want to go continental). I probably just want dismounted figures.
I was apparently asleep when this range was released:

I will probably order the Knights on Foot, as they look like they would work well for Bannockburn.

They are good figures and fit in very well with the Pendraken figures, I'll hopefully get some pictures posted this week if the weather cooperates

Worth checking out the Teutonic line too, has a lot of useful pieces for general medieval https://pendraken.co.uk/tb-line/middle-ages/teutonics/

Ditto, I just based up 220 mixed TB and Pendraken figures this afternoon. They fit well side by side.

Yes, they are lovely ... but not a snout amongst the lot of 'em.

Thanks for that information Paul and mmcv. Would definitely like to see pics of TP/Pendraken mix.
As you say, fsn, we are still snoutless however.

This is probably coals to Newcastle but here is the page at  MyArmoury:
https://myarmoury.com/feature_spot_bascinet.html

What would be really neat would be figures with open faces and an assortment of snout visors that could be glued on. This is in the category of separate heads and weapons and I think it's been pretty well determined that it would be a massive production nightmare in 10mm.
