From StefanK: The penultimate post - Cry God for England, Harry and Saint George! (12 Points)

So it's the final days of the challenge and two entries to go for me. Here's one that is very near and dear to me:

King Henry V

of England

Actually this figure has been lying on my lead pile for ages. I've bought it a while ago when I saw that wonderful sculpt by Alan Perry but I didn't find the time to paint it. But since Henry V by Kenneth Branagh is one of my - if not just my - favourite movie I always regretted not paying attention to it.

Now after our ACW project came to a temporary end I took the time to splash some paint onto Harry. The figure is part of Perry Miniatures' AO01 set from their Agincourt range. He's a mounted 28mm figures of two parts: Horse and Harry. Since I didn't like the original horse delivered with my set I changed it to a more 'royal' breed with nicer horse tack.

Focussing on the single miniature was pure joy again. The sculpt is tremendously detailed and Alan even managed to work out an indication of Harry's coat of arms. Thus it was difficult but at least possible to paint his surcoat properly. I hope you like my humble piece of work.

Last but not least let me deliver the two scenes I watched / listened to over and over while painting this figure:

That's it for now. Tomorrow I'll have my final entry ready with the 'Curtgeld' and two other figures, Until then ...

...cry...

God for England, Harry and Saint George !!

Wow, terrific work Stefan! I love the attention to detail you lavished on Henry, especially on his armour, harness and especially his coat of arms. That there is some pretty fine brushwork my friend. Bravo!

I think in light of the extra effort on the niggling details Henry is up for 12 points. Well done Stefan.
