Suggestions for modelmakers!
I have a great interest in history and old wars, kings etc. I'm specially interested in the middleage epoc.
Here's some tips for models; during the middle ages most rangedweaponed infantry used crossbows, a deadly weapon and powerful who could pierce the mediumarmored or find glitches in the metalarmor the soldiers and knights used. I would really use a model picturing crossbow infantry. Yes, I did find such a model here, but it doesn't fit really, during battles and wars, crossbows were a powerful heavy two-handed weapon. Most of the soldiers used also a second weapon, sometimes a smallsword in order to use at close enemies or when run out of bolts.IF you anyone can make such a model, using inspiration from pictures, depicting 1400-1500 century soldiers in their uniforms. Often used a combo of breastplate, chain and leather. And, they did have metalhelmets. Find pictures in a middleage-warfare book or pictures on the web, and make such a model/-s.
<<Did you know that in battles it was often confusing since the soldiers lookes so similar to each other (the uniforms/armor) that they used colored feathers, tied to the metalhelmet?>> By the way, have anyone ever thought of creating a flail-weaponed human knight? Either on foot or on horse, with shield. It was a well-used weapon for many centuries, and deadly.
NOTE: This is only for those who are interested in making historical look alike models, well, no need for total perfection though.
PS. This is just suggestions.
