A quick break from painting the 1329 Project bods
12 bods in 6 poses, 12 nags in two poses.
Only a little bit of Flash to deal with and that mainly on the nags, which is in contrast to the set PSR have reviewed, so as with the Hobelars I painted from RedBox, it depends on which set you get.
PSR reckons that the bods armour and kit is ok for the period, the usual complaint (one which I entirely agree with) about the set having only two nag poses and that the nags are very well armoured, too much armour in fact for all the riders to have such a heavily armoured mount but this has already been covered on previous Reviews on RedBox WotR heavy cavalry sets.
I´ll have to think about using some of the spare riders and mix then with some nags from other sets..the Zvezda French Knights for example...but when I have the time.
The titel of the set is a bit odd. Why have the first two sets labelled as Men -At- Arms and this set is "heavy cavalry". Surely they are, like the previous two "heavy cavalry" sets, also mounted Men -at- Arms?
As with the previous RedBox European Mounted Men-at-Arms and the Mounted Men-at-Arms sets, these will end up as part of Richard III´s Body guards...hence all the armour on the nags, which, TBH, I like the look of.
A bit of an odd pose..waving a two handed sword about whilst mounted?

Medieval Guards on Duty (2)
Another 4 sets of Valdemar VA127 "Medieval Guards on duty" for the 1329 dio.
With this lot that makes 47 guards ..(one in the First Batch lost a Hand)
Three got Pavisen, scratchmade like in THIS post.
One set is painted up "Freestyle". The axe and crossbow from the spares box. The sets Come with crossbows, they are ok but a bit small for the bod to lean on one.

Medieval double axle Transport wagon
Another two wagons for the Teutonic Order 1329 dio, also made by Fredericus Rex as part of their Greenline range.
8 pieces all made Entirely of resin.
The one at the back is missing a tiny Piece. Unfortunately I´d tipped the parts out of the Blister box onto my Workspace and I didn´t notice that a bit had broken off until I´d started painting and by then it was lost.
Note to self;
Spread out and Check parts using a clear Surface and tidy up the Workspace on a regular basis so as to have a better overview.
As with the two Kobelwagen, the "falling tongues" have been left unfixed for Transportation
