For my self I'm currently adding figures to the Elizsabethan range (not a Pendraken planned range just me out of my own pocket) e.g

3 x Mounted command
4 x aquebusiers
2 x musketeers and rest
2 x unarmoured pike
1 x mount aquebus

I see on the request list a mounted spanish genitor, can somebody send me a picture(s) to work from?

The most distinctive feature of the Genitor (aka Ginetes) is the heart shaped shield, derived from the Moorish ones.



My mental image comes from Ian Heath's line drawing (tagged b here)

Nice one Dave

Important - genitors rode with very short stirrup leathers, like jockeys. They could well be wearing mail too.

Eh ?.....What ? 

Dave... Just tell me what you fancy....And I'll make the wee chaps.

Cheers - Phil....I really am NOT having a good day, for a Sunday.

I'll look forward to these.

Would definitely buy at least one pack to add to my newly acquired Spanish army, but please no puffling pants, the earlier types didn't wear them.

Yet more temptation comes my way!

Why should sunday be any different in Wales, and I suspect Dave wants good masters !

[Techno]

I thought Dave had already got good masters.

Andy....Some have already got those, I'm afraid.

Kitty...I've done matey with short stirrups.....But mail is a b*gger to do on a mounted figure, as the horse's head gets right in the way of the chest on a figure.

Cheers - Phil

Separate shield which can be glued to hide the sculptural shortcomings in the pectoral zone?

[Techno]

Too late.
