Hi Luca,

Awesome face, awesome heraldry on the surcoat.

Just bloody awesome.

Cheers

Really nice figure. I can't tell you what is better, the face or the clothing, it's both great!

Wow! Very nice Luca! I can't wait to see him with arms.

Grande come sempre amico mio!!!

Are you going for the "bistecca del brontosaurus" in Girona ? God Willing I will be there........

Take care and see you......

Perfect face, skintone and especialy I like teeth and lips, verrry impressive. Than the heraldy and shadowing of the clothes is outstanding. My respect, I truly admire your job here, bravo!!

Caro Luca

Bella facia [ok un po incazzata ma bella pittura] e bel heraldo! Come mai quest anno troppi re inglesi da te?
Eh Ray mi a ricordato quel bel pranbzoni a Roma, magari a Girona sarebe Paella di T-rex? : )

This is so far a great painted figure. Up to your high standard Luca.
Great work and a show stopper at WE

Good luck with it.

Wow, fantastic project Luca !!
.... you're the n° 1 when it's about painting medieval knights !!

I like the way how you achieve a very tight and precise painting with acrylics, it's beautiful.

Two questions
- is this 90mm soldiers figure still available, where can I order one, ... and as it is an old figure, is the casting quality still good ? Nice clean castings ?
- second question : there was a second English Knight in this 90mm series (Diego Ruina once painted one very beautifully) , did you know that - according to what you can see in an illustration in the osprey book on the battle of Crécy - you could perfectly do the other English knight in this range as Godfrey de Harcourt, one of Edward's commanders at Crécy in 1346 ? Same armour and all ... ... Well, I got one myself and I planned to do that figure as G De Harcourt, but never mind - I have the heraldry of this knight if you're interested, just e-mail me

thanks friends i so happy that your comoliments is fantastic paint this figure. for Johan: this figure have a very great fusion and the sculpt is a very great. I'm so very interestedat the eraldry that you tell me I don't have take care to all and I send you very soon others pics ciao from luca

ps: this evening in my town will play the concert the Kiss in the big roman arena....... ciao

... Great to hear that
But, Ace and the original Catman won't be there ... it's not the same anymore ...

heraldry of crécy 1346

for Luca : some of the heraldry of Crécy.
Godfrey the Harcourt, the renegade knight from Normandy who fought for the English at Crécy in 1346, had the following coat of arms : two yellow bands on a red field, with in the left upper corner a small blue shield (called "escutcheon of azure" in heraldic terms I believe).

A very interesting historical personality, this Godfrey de Harcourt. He was the son of a knight of Normandy and a Flemish mother, and all of his life he seems to have been a chronic rebel against the French crown.

Johan thanks for the interesting heraldy tips, it is very useful. I myself surely pick one of these sometimes

Excellent paintjob! The shirt with heraldry looks marvelous.

hello Johan thanks for the eraldry is great.and thanks friend for the compliments. the war of the 100 year is my favorite period, together at the crusades. ciao from luca

Excellent work, Luca.

Spike.
