Hi all,

these are my first 2 figures painted, scale 54 mm (0.21 inches), not high quality but i'm very proud of this

Sir John de Creke 1325:

Guy de Lévis (Beziers 1209):

Cheers.

Thanks eastman

I'm new to painting figures, although before i had paint some planes model kits but no one finished jeje
These 2 are painted with acrylics.

Cheers. David.

Great work! Both figures come up really well, fine use of colour and neat work on the bases as well.

Both pieces are really great.I really like the flesh tones on the second figure.Well done.

I agree, these look sharp. 54mm is a tough scale at any skill level.

David, these are your FIRST figures?! Truly excellent work. You should be proud.

I think you should be proud of them! Very nice work. Skin tones look great, and the clothing/chain mail is well done, too.

Very good work. I like the flesh tones on both. The facial expression on the second one is fantastic and the extended groundwork is nice too. I think you did a great job on the clothing as well. I would not think these are your first miniatures.

They look great but I think that 54 mm are 2,12-2,13 inches.
Cheers

Wonderful job, first time out. I'd go cross eyed painting at this scale!

David .the title
maréchal de la foi was given to him for his brave actions during the

The Albigensian crusade againt the mainly the Cathares
.although when the crusaders entred
The city of Béziers in 1209 they massacered both Catholics and Cathares

I have an old NHD 54mm of a royal night fron the siege of

Montségur 1244( to wards the tail end of Cathares story) that would diplay niclly with your Guy .but i fear finding background for the painting of it will be hard.

BTW i was born in Santander .but i am afraid my Spanish is rusty !!
if you like PM Me and we can brush up on it
