Yet another set from the lead pile and destined for the 1329 dio
They are made by Toma Miniatures under the titel, "Catch my geese"
As far as I can make out, a lot of Pictures from the Medieval period geese Show the Grey legged Version but I found a couple showing them with the classic pinky orange legs, one source being by Hugh of Fouilloy (aka:Hugo de Folieto ) from the Bibliothèque Municipale de Troyes from the last quarter of the 12th century.
This site, Medieval Bestiary, has a slide Show with several Pictures of "Medieval" Geese
Getting the geese to stay up on thier Little legs was a pain but it was finally achieved with the help of UHU second glue
Another great and unsual job...love this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful set, the movement is fabulous - the paintings is pretty good too. ;)
ReplyDeleteExcellent painted figures and all together they make a very lovely scene!
ReplyDeleteKeep them coming Paul! You're doing great!
Greetings

Fantastic stuff Paul!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Scene. A real pleasure to view. Cool Painting! BB
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely figures. How I wish they were available in 28mm, though I see that Toma make some ACW figures in 28mm.
ReplyDeleteI love the one bod who appears to be pointing and laughing, rather than helping. Having tried to chase geese myself, I would rather laugh than catch. :)
