"Sir, your helmet is broken. I can fix it!"
Fantastic work! I looks really realistic.
Just great!
Also he appears to be VERY skinny underneath all that armor. Usually all the apparel makes the soldiers look all puffed up.
I'm not saying I could do better. But I know, from what your gallery tells me, you definitely can!
Cheers!
I painted the armor as it looks in the game War of the Roses. Though I must say that sallets were widely used with or without plate armor, as it was THE most common type of helmet during this period in England. Bascinets started to be a bit outdated fashion, even though they were still in use. I myself don't like the look of barbutes too much, plus they were more common in Italy than in England.
Armor itself is the light armor from the game, and simply doesn't have much armor. He has tights on his legs (and similarly on arms), aketon and a shirt of maille protecting his body. Even though it isn't very historical set up, due to munitions armor and what not.
Good job on that!
