This year is the 960th anniversary of the battle of Hastings.
Peter's Paper Soldiers have decided to create a 1:1 scale model of the battle for a wargames show in October, very near to the date of the battle. I, along with many others from all round the world, volunteered to help create this army. I was give the task of producing a single stand of 330 Saxon Fyrd.
It was quite a task but I soon got into the swing of it. I also had to make a base for them to stand on and a box for them to be posted off in.
The scale of the figures is 18mm.
I chose to make mine the local Sparkenhoe Fyrd of Mercia.
