I seem to have a block on using glue to stick things together, at the moment, but I can paint, so I completed this chap.
A nice ebay purchase - a 1/10th 14-15 Century Knight, by Nemrod, from Historex.
This is the starting point
Clean castings - faults were a broken collar on his armour, and a tiny shield ( about the size of a tea tray). After repairs & a new shield,
I give you Edmund, 5th Earl of Stafford - 1377-1403 ( killed, Battle of Shrewsbury )
Had to do a bit of research, to find simple, but striking heraldry. Some of the coats of arms I looked at were works of art in their own right, way beyond my talents. I used only acrylics - I had used oils on previous busts, but found them messy - I spent more time cleaning up, than painting!
