The good Frater de Beaumanoir makes me smile. I love seeing Templar kits done with the proper Beauseant color scheme on the shield.

I know a fine shield maker who will work to produce one to your specs if so required. He just did a Kite for me, which I still have to adorn with Hospitaller colors.

Sir Edward, thank you for the kind assessment.

These are few of the shots of my Reference's work in development.

Sadly I have yet had time or favorable weather to paint it in its new scheme.... :'(

For those who know me on FACEBOOK, you'll find him as Brother Rogerson on the Beausant Brotherhood page.

For those that haven't succumbed to the evil heresies of FB, you may PM me and I will relay his email address. Tell him Master de Beaumanoir sent you.......he'll know the reference.

Added my request on there. My profile pic isn't with the templar gear, as I need to tailor my mail still before I can get a decent pic.

I'll just email him...FB I liken to the Saracen army...I should like nothing more than to live in peace with it, but I know, ultimately, I shall be the instrument of its downfall.  ;)

As soon as my shoulder heals I will be making a 24"-29" centergrip round. Say... 4-5 months.
