1st Crusade Longbowman

Bought this cheap at a toy soldier fair in sheffield last year and finished it a while ago.

It is my first white metal figure, the biggest figure I've done yet and I enjoyed it. Just need to add the bow string now.

Very nice indeed. I would imagine he is taking part in the siege of Antioch. Many of the Crusaders caught dysentery and went without breeches, which explains the "weathering" on the hem of his tunic.

Nicely painted.Being piccy,did you mean to leave a red 'smudge' around the cross?Cute figure though.

Hi Mike, thanks for the comments. I'd pictured this figure right from the start having a cheap, badly done cross where the red dye had run into his off-white tunic.

Enzo, rather less prosaically I'd just imagined him sitting in the dust and dropping it in the same if/when he took it off. Wish I'd thought of the dysentry angle - could have had a bit more fun with the paint job :shithappens:
