The other hobby I have is medieval reenactment, so I have a lot of photos from fights. Maybe you would like me to post some to get some new real poses?
some knights standing at a table with a map, maybe planning a battle or a siege of a castle/town
some lords and ladies, just dining at a table (20 persons or so with their servants
some workers breaking stones for a street or castle-/citywalls
knights resting at the outside (woods maybe) with a servant which is preparing a pig over the fire
some knights or warriors riding out of town to a fight while their woman cries and hold the feet feet or clothes of the knights because they don't want to let them go
but to come to your Question, I like the metal most and then comes the plastic. Truely the figures out of metall and the weapons out of plastic would be a very good solution
the castle will take a lot of time, because I am doing school again to get a higher level and my exams are at this and the next week. I can tell you, if you are older, it's not easier to learn *g*
es the simple life. -Like cooking at the field. -Managing the armor, weapons and horses. -Some torture utilities for the inquisition? -maybe some traders -simple fighters like farmers fighting with the farming utilities -a lord or knight hitting one of his pleasents because he did something wrong
