link A couple of personal notes on Carolingian era knights I have painted both from Baueda and Essex. Both good suppliers, although each with its edges and limits. Anyone else has tried them? |

I had wanted a Carolingian army for a long time, but had not bought the Essex ones because I wanted more figure variety than that. I jumped on the Baueda ones as soon as they became available. I love the variety and the sculpting detail!
I just did one bit of modification on a number of the figures — I took a coule of spools of different gauge wire from a craft store and used that to make some of the shields larger by adding a rim around the edge. (That's also something that bugs my about Essex: every one of their Dark Ages figures with a shield has the exact same diameter shield!) Using different gauge wire to add the rims gave me a nice range of sizes. |

Agreed on that, I'll try the gauge wire thing for the shields! |
