Silves - mais cavalaria / more cavalry

Nove cavaleiros da Strelets (Caroligian cavalry) para acrescentar à cavalaria do Rei D. Sancho I.
Pode-se argumentar contra o uso destas figuras para o diorama em questão. Afinal, são 400 anos de diferença entre o que está esculpido e o que se pretende retratar. Fi-lo com a perfeita noção disso. O que posso argumentar é que estes seriam nobres de poucas posses, talvez com as armaduras dos avós... Se fossem peões, infantes, poder-se-ia dizer que se armavam com o que arranjavam; sendo cavaleiros já haveria mais imposições.
Nine knights from Strelets (Caroligian cavalry) to add to King D. Sancho I's cavalry. One can say that these are not good figures as they represent an age 400 years before. I'm well aware of that. I can only say that these were not-so-welthy knights, maybe their armor belonged to their grandparents... If it were infantry, one could say they used what they found; I admit that cavalry, or knights, had more restrictions on what they should wear.

Tecnicidades à parte, ficam as fotos. / Technicalities aside, here are the pictures.

    1. Well, if I used them for Reconquista, why couldn't they be used with normans?

  2. nice work with a "strange" set! ...and good "re-conversions" for them: I'd always ask me what could I do with "that"!
    Why not for Normans, like Paul said...
