From MikeV: HYW mounted MAA in 28mm
Hi all. Apologies for being super late in my first post. I had a project going from before the challenge opened - a 1:32 scale Curtiss P40E - which I ended up placing to one side as it was taking too much of my time and was not really coming up to scratch. Anyway, I took up a 28mm Front Rank Hundred Years War mounted Man at Arms and decided to present him as my first project. This MAA is from the early HYW period as he is carrying a shield which I added from my spare odds and ends.
Stay healthy and safe.

Wow! this figure is beautiful! How on earth did you do all that detailed heraldry?
ReplyDeleteHey Noel! Many thanks. There’s obviously a lot of construction involved. I’ve put up a couple of posts on my blog on the subject. Please feel free to visit.
DeleteOops, forgot to mention my blog where you can find my heraldic painting posts. It’s “Dieroll volleys - tales of model soldiers and tabletop battles”. Can’t figure out how to set up a link, sorry!
DeleteStunning! Beautiful brushwork Mike.
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt! So very glad you liked it.
DeleteYou’ve taken this up because something else was too time consuming? Those lozenges dazzle me. That is absolutely fabulous painting!
ReplyDeleteHaha, your comment made me laugh. Actually I feel far more at ease doing detailed brushwork like this rather than a large scale model of a WW2 aircraft. Thanks a lot for commenting!
DeleteWow awesome post ...........
ReplyDeleteThanks Jez!
DeleteDoing a double comment as just re-looked again - love picture 3 which has the detailing and patterning on the sword scabbard ... as well as everything else ! Double wow .........
ReplyDeleteThe pattern on the scabbard is a replica of the one that can be seen on the caparison on the mount’s back. Tbh it’s more baroque than medieval and was inspired by a piece of ecclesiastical drapery I happened to see recently on telly.
DeleteYour brushwork is amazing. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Stuart!
DeleteGreat looking knight!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain!
DeleteGreat work! the Livery looks very sharp.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Adam. Where two colours meet, I try to leave a sliver of the darker base colours showing to create that darker outline and enhance contrast making them pop.
DeleteExcellent work Mike. I’ll post a selection of my work from the same range today, I had thought of going for that diamond pattern but it seemed far too much effort! The red quatrefoil details are superb by the way!
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon! The lozenge pattern was indeed a bit of a challenge and needed some prep work to get right. Even so, some areas are not quite up to scratch. The quatrefoils were much easier tbh!
DeleteJust amazing stuff! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, glad you like it
DeleteAs others have already noted, the brushwork here is top shelf. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteCheers Greg!
DeleteThat's a fantastic, super detailed figure 👍 is it for a unit of 48 horse 😉
ReplyDeleteHaha. One off, it's DEFINITELY a one off!
DeleteBeautifully painted Mike.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray!
DeleteWow, that's some awesome brushwork on this chap Mike!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sander. Some areas could have been better but I’m happy overall.
DeleteVery impressive work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks! Stay tuned.......
