There's no direct evidence for split barding either way but I feel it would be more consistent as green/white with the white portion nearest the rider.<br /><br />I have now repainted the barding. It was hard on a based figure and I had to do away with the split barding as I couldn't reach all of it. The right side of the barding is now all white and the left all green. At least this is consistent with how livery jackets were coloured.Vexilliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06568117694302239705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202580486252841248.post-67317178892069340112018-12-09T09:18:38.170+00:002018-12-09T09:18:38.170+00:00Thank you for your kind words.

Fine praise from someone who paints so well themselves. <br /><br />I hope they inspire you to do more 15 mm Italian Wars as I really enjoyed your 2015-16 series of posts.<br /><br />Any man who replaces crossbows in 15 mm deserves a lot of followers.Vexilliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06568117694302239705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202580486252841248.post-82390661644655448562018-12-09T08:10:30.764+00:002018-12-09T08:10:30.764+00:00Those look really good - clean with very well-judg...Those look really good - clean with very well-judged colours. The trumpet banner in particular looks great - I like the idea of echoing the banner but simplifying to make it paintable. <br /><br />I've got some Roundway late medieval figures too: Crossbowmen that I modified as Italian Wars aventuriers but also some knights waiting in the lead pile - maybe I should move them up in the queue having seen what you have achieved.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835786139833010048noreply@blogger.com
