Yep 'Thomas' with the White Company at Porchester Castle near Portsmouth in Hampshire. Although probably early nineties. It was called 'Thomas' after 'Thomas with the Beard' which was a gun listed in the Stewards accounts for Southampton in the mid C15th. 'Thomas' was my attempt to get a decent C15th field artillery gun made rather than the 2" toys people were making for the Wars of the Roses groups at the time. One of several really good projects the White Co did at the time ... alongside Jorge's Pavises. Beautiful and still pretty much unique reconstructions and the painted Pennons which I still love. Cheers

ha, mr key, nice to see you again, if only virtually, do not be a stranger, we have a few things to discuss, you still have my email, I have lost yours because of being a tit.The pavises have since been recovered, in one case literally. Not to hijack this, but there were substantial errors with them, the pretty one was made properly but was painted incorrectly, in terms of style and composition, techniques fine though, so still looked wrong. One of the other ones I took apart and trimmed back the gutters and reattached them, recovered and repainted, properly with oil/resin medium, but with a design of my choice. I will do the same to the other one, then two good bohemian shaped pavises will be in use. Not sure what to do with the pretty one, my instincts tell me to strip it down and paint it properly, my sense of nostalgia says not to, but I can't actually use it as it is, as I am a believer in only having stuff that actually works I think it will be the stripping option, but will paint it elaborately just the same, but right this time. 'Toy guns', I just can't imagine what you were referring to ;-) -------------------- history is in the hands of the marketing department - beware!
