Currently kitbashing

 After all the painting last week due to days at home (  caused mainly by the stormy weather ) I am having less hobby time due to real life requiring my attention. However l am doing some 28mm kitbashing-


The idea is to create some retinues consisting of figures created using Perry late fifteenth century plastic figures and combining them with Stargrave sprue parts. Thereby making some sci fi troops with late medieval sensibilities and look.  Inspiration comes from sources such as this-

Watch this space to see how it turns out…

    The link to the facsimiles was fascinating. I'm not sure what I make of the aesthetic of your plan but will be interested to see where this goes.

    Interesting kit-bashing, which works well. Intriguing.
    Interesting manuscript as well, followed this from Wolfegg on Wikipedia through your favourite The Holy Roman Empire to modern day Baden Wurttemberg ... and presumably onwards if your figure is to be believed?

    We shall see where it goes…
    The book is fascinating not to mention its history…
