Britains Herald Knight - Refurbished

 I have quite a few of the old !/32nd scale Herald figures sold by Britains.  Many are in poor condition with missing or broken weapons and poor paintwork.

When the mood takes me I get out the brushes and have a bit of fun.  One such figure was this  medieval pikeman:

His original paintwork has been applied roughly and is a bit battered.  Also, his pike is broken, so I wrote off to Ian Kay at Irregular Miniatures and he supplied me with some cast metal weapons.

After a quick paint job and a new weapon he is ready to go into battle once more:

      It's amazing what a little paint can do, transforming toy soldiers into quite nice models.

      Thanks JBM, I am quite pleased with the result and now that I have some weapons I will likely repair a few more.

    STOP IT! Just as I'm getting near to completing my vintage 20mm napoleonics you are tempting me to change scales and periods.

      Guilty as charged. I do enjoy painting the larger figures and tend to paint a few when the mood takes me. I am currently working on some Herald Confederate infantry. That will be it for a while - I have other mountains to climb!
