For this heraldic display, I will be using green and blue, since they are the colours on my SCA registered device. I will highlight with bronze, to add a metal to the tincture palette. The complete set will include * a helm crest suitable for use during equestrian displays and skill at arms competitions * open barding for the horse that I often ride * heraldic coloured clothing * heraldic shield, a christmas gift from my partner * suitable armour In choosing the style of crest, I must consider the use, the armour I already have and the materials I have available, matching these aspects to what was present during the middle ages. The helm I have is a bulbous faced bascinet, which will have pointing holes drilled in the top. I think I will make a helm crest in a style suited to the mid 15th century. I have chosen to use a wing style design, as my device has no primary charge, only two fields. Wings on Helm Crests The following images show a timeline of wings in use around the fifteenth century. They are all found at http://lalanguedublason.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/armoriaux-anciens.html 1290 - 1310 Manesse Codex * Feathers represented on an eagle shaped helm crest, naturalistic irregular edges with lighter paint in Us to simulate feathers on a smooth surface. 1335 - 1345 Die Wappenroll von Zurich All of these images show designs running front to back, which may be an artistic depiction * Feathered or fringed horns, making a circular outline, runs front to back * A peacock feathered disc behind a fleur de lis, soft edges, circular * Single large wing, very deep feather cuts, one long feather row in first colour, second and third short rows in other colour, lowest fourth short row in first colour, 1:1 feather:gap spacing, gently curved top edge, flap down to the ground * Single scallop edged fan, running front to back, with peacock designs on ends * Peacock feather oval rising from a crown * Single large wing, very deep feather cuts, one row of long feathers and three rows of short feathers * Single semi circle with a painted design in the middle, two rows of short feathers and one row of peacock feathers * Trapezium of peacock feathers * Disc of peacock feathers * Interesting pair of black and red wings, rising from either side of a hat, naturalistic edges, and elongated shape.

The Black Falcons are back! Since the realease of the medieval blacksmith, LEGO has continued to reinterpret the classic knights. With the CMF Falconer, I finally got my hands on one of the new figures and was inspired to create this MOC.

I made 6 pairs of warriors, each faction a different colour. One was initially meant to be the main knight and the other his squire/sidekick but in the end, I just made both of them as good as I could :) Hope you guys enjoy them!

The monthly mini competition on merlins-beard is to build your best tree. I find trees very difficult to get looking good. I think for me 'best tree' is something that I will always be chasing, but never quite get! Anyway, is a tree, probably not a best tree, but one I'm pretty happy with. I tried a new technique based on this design by Brother Steven. I like it as it uses pieces that are common and easy to find, and I think looks quite effective.

To the delight of the children of Albion the local flower merchant shows off a bit of her magic. How a commoner flower vendor knows this ancient magic, no one knows. And she has drawn more onlookers than just children. A knight on horseback is intrigued, his interest piqued. More concerning is the rogue in the background standing by the inn. What are his intentions? Why is he at this place at the exact moment she cast her spell for the children?... A Guilds of Historica build. Guild of Avalonia
