Darell,
I hate to say this but I don't have a clue how to put pictures on the forum.I don't even have a camera.You can see some of my figures if you go on the Grasse website, click on historical period,then click on Dark Ages,click on El Viejo Dragon,scroll down until you come to Olaf Tryggvason's longship.This is mine.Go back to manufacturer click on Pegaso,click on 54mm foot figures,the first figure a Rus Viking.He painted one of these for me but not this one.Now scroll down to 54mm vignettes and the one PG5V18,Vikings 880 is mine.My favorite is in the Seil section SM5032,2 Vikings after a battle.I have the other Viking in that section too.I have 7 or 8 more Viking figures and vignettes from Andrea,Romero,Benito.He has a couple of FIW vignettes from Michael Roberts miniatures he's doing for me now.

Very nice figures Mark. I really like the longship model. Well, I like them all! I agree that the Seil SM5032 is an incredible kit. I can't help, but think of the Lord of the Rings Rohan when I see these pictures. Did you see that movie?

Actually, Saladin and Richard the Lionheart never came face to face. They never actually met one another. They just sent messages and messengers back and forth. I think it was Saladine's brother who became a very close friend to Richard though. I can't remember all of the details, but I do remember that the story of the third crusade is a very interesting one and that relatives of Saladin and Richard became rather intimately involved with one another. I just don't remember the details.

I would love to see more military order crusaders mounted or foot. I'm rather tired of hollywood and conspiracy theorist hijacking the history of these orders so I want more figures to set up in front of my TV when the next "Illumanati and the Templers" aires on the History Channel. I'm still hoping for a SL set of at least the Templer Grand Master.
