I finished this kit a little while ago but with redesigning the site and all I did not get round to doing the review. So here it is.

This Kit I believe was designed by Derek Holmes and a lovely job of it he has made too. The fit was particularly good round the arm areas with no filler being used. I only used a small wipe of filler to the main body join.

The overall scale and proportion of the kit is nice. The only problem I had was the lance, which I think with hindsight I should have drilled out the hand and put a one-piece shaft as oppose to the two pieces supplied by the kit. I didn't want to paint Roger so in an old magazine I found a reference to the Battle of Falkirk with the Heraldry of the major players in it and chose a gent called Nicholas De Seagrave.

Also in the article was a comment that they often only wore heraldry on their Surcoats for battle so I went with that rather than have to pint the heraldry on the surcoat .The figure was painted oils over enamels and took roughly 4 weeks but I do work on two at a time so they don't get my undivided attention.

An altogether enjoyable kit I would recommend to all.
