Seventeenth-century infantry combined pikes and muskets in formations whose success depended on coordinated drill. Commanders, gunners and cavalry added movement and complexity to the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVertical Pikeman (Royalist) contributes a distinct named character, object or action to the range. Its individual role becomes most meaningful when the neighbouring pieces help explain what is happening in the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subject adds an individual point of interest to its historical or fictional setting. A carefully placed character gives the viewer someone through whom to imagine the wider story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a display based on an English Civil War firing line, cavalry field or encampment, position the subject where its role is evident at first glance. Even modest scenery can add depth and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can be presented independently as a portrait or integrated with related figures. A simple and consistent setting often makes the character more compelling than a crowded background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo expand the scene, look towards pikemen, musketeers, gunners and cavalry. Together, compatible subjects can add a sense of movement, scale and period detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe historical interest extends beyond the title: it is also about the changing tactics and identities of Civil War armies. That perspective can help guide a more personal collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a little consideration for placement and supporting pieces, the subject can become a strong focal point within the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available from The Military Workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King \u0026 Country","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419525013786,"sku":"PnM004B","price":73.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0154\/0890\/files\/PnM004B.jpg?v=1794305775","url":"https:\/\/themilitaryworkshop.com\/products\/pnm004b","provider":"The Military Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
