Wonderful Arnaud  :clap: :wow: :clap:
Can I ask where you get the inspiration for the different heraldry? Does each one have a meaning?

Today's knight:
Frédéric de Moers.





@Elaine: I get inspiration from books about Heraldry and the Middle Ages in General, and wiki, of course. For those Knights of the Golden Fleece, there's actually a late Middle Age book called "Grand Armorial Èquestre de la Toison d'Or", where I got all the heraldry. I don't own the book but they have it in Paris' Great Library and...they scanned every page and put them online! Can you believe that?? Here's the link again: http://expositions.bnf.fr/livres/armorial/index.htm
Heraldry doesn't necessarily have a meaning, but it's personal to a person (ususally a knight) or a family. There are so many I just choose the nicest to my own eyes and first I make the shield, then the horse coat, and then the torso for the knight. Sometimes, I make flags too but, unfortunately, PM don't provide flags in every color you can get the horse coats! So some have their flag to be carried by a herald, and some don't. For the Knights of the Golden Fleece, I didn't make any flag. There are too many knights and I'm lazy!  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Gilbert de Lannoy

Love the design but not a big fan of the colors. The combination of parts work very well though (like the scarce green feather), Any relevance to the golden chain he is wearing? (They all have chains so I'll just ask once)


Jean de Créquy

Great design, the middle red part on the caparison works very well here. The colors are really good together.


Antoine de Vergy

The red of the transfer is slightly less bright then the rest. Not really a fan of the chainmail in the middle of the caparison.


Frédéric de Moers

The Heraldry on this is stunning and the design for the caparison is really great. The neckpiece on the knight is actually my favorite one.


Looking forward to the coming contributions!
