Sometime during 2010, I've purchased a lot of soldiers on e-bay and I've found two
beautiful medieval figures. It was the first time I painted something else than WW2 and i like it
a lot....Then I've got a commission for a complete set of Airfix " Medieval Foot Soldiers" and
this was a great challenge for me.
Here you can see the front cover
of the Airfix box. These figures
are great! Excellent poses and
very nice details on clothes and
weapons.
I've decided to paint the figures according to the box style and make my own variations
in colors so, some figures with the same pose will have a different color combination. Only the
archers were painted in the same colors so they can form a company of the same banner.I like very
much the result, even though my painting skills was not so advanced at that time...
So, here you can see some pictures of the final outcome......In the first two pictures the bases
are incomplete. Later I 've finished them with static grass..
I've also made some scratch built ladders that looked much better than the plastic ones provided
with the box.
Here is the full project with all the figures and some of my additions, like the ladders and the
wooden spikes for the archers...

This Airfix issue is on more of my " do it again " projects for the future. Even maybe a small diorama of
a battle scene.......
