Progress slowed by heat.
the heat here has caused the paint to dry too quickly. I have only progressed on a few figures. Here are wounded archer and the 2 armsmen. The archer has livery with the sigil of the York white rose on a flaming sun. The kneeling armsmen has livery with the white boar sigil on chest and the rose/sun on the back. Th standing arms men has a cuirass over a blue blouse. All the gambesons were interesting, padded linen where the smudging is on the raised parts and the creases remain light. All the armor is true metallic metal. I made it very bright a it would have reflected a lot of white in the snow. I posed a few on the base. When I begin mounting them i will need to complete the snow cover .

@gekoch yes they were long and heavy. Length: Standard military and target arrows measured close to 30 inches (approx. 75–78 cm) to match the powerful draw lengths of English longbows. Diameter: Shafts were thick and heavy, usually tapering from about 10 mm or 11/32 inch down toward the nock, or barrel-tapered to optimize flight stability. Material: Built from heavy hardwoods like ash, birch, or occasionally oak, often featuring reinforced horn inserts in the self-nocks
