All models are available in 32/58/75mm scale,pre-assembled and in chitubox version. This is a tale of fantasy, woven from threads of ancient truths: historical memories, folk legends, and forgotten beliefs. From these fragments arises a different reality, where the boundary between history and myth grows thin and finally disappears. For this reason, the events that follow may appear imprecise, or even impossible, and yet they are rooted in a time that someone truly lived. Our story begins in 1098, during the bloody period of the Crusades.Many men left their homes, their fields and their shops. Their distant dream was to reconquer Jerusalem. The cities, deprived of their defenders, breathed an uneasy silence. And while fathers and sons were fighting, another enemy, invisible and ruthless, was infiltrating the roads of Italy: a dark plague, maybe the typhus or the Black Death. Nobody would ever know for sure, because the truth dissipated like dust in the wind. Women, old people, and children remained in the villages. In those impoverished lands, bandits and marauders saw a great chance: they pillaged, kidnapped, and terrorized without any compassion. Their cruelty broke entire territories.But a spark of resistance was born in that moment of despair against all odds. In San Gimignano, a city of stones and towers which rise like lances to the Tuscan sky, there was a convent. A place of prayer, yes... but also of implacable determination. Today no one remembers which nun was the first to conceive the idea, or which hands wrote the first orders. All that we know is that, in 1098, that convent founded a secret training corps composed exclusively of nuns. With discipline, faith, and courage, those women chose to become a shield for their people.Inside and outside the city walls, they patrolled like silent shadows. Soon, their name became a source of terror for bandits and hope for citizens. No one wanted to come near those hills with bad intentions: it was rumored that the sisters fought better than men there. For years the sisters answered to the call of the emergency, protecting the territory in its darkest moments. But it was in 1354 that their role became official, recognized, and organized.During the Black Death, they were essential, not only as warriors, but also as healers, guardians, and pillars of morale for a population on the edge of collapse. And when the shadow of death finally vanished, a new order was established. So the Order of the Sisters of Fina was born, called in that way in honor of the saint venerated in San Gimignano since the day of her death in 1253. An order of warrior nuns.A miracle of courage in an age of fear.A name destined to resonate in stories that have never ceased to be told. the full story at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crosslances/finas-nuns ""   Thank you so much for your purchase, come visit us on as well: sign up for our newsletter to receive free stl files:https://www.crosslances.net/newsletter-subscription/ Our patreon:https://www.patreon.com/crosslances Our store :https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Crosslances The store where you can buy with resale rights:https://www.cgtrader.com/crosslances partner site (free miniature in newsletter)https://herastone.net/ Thank you very much
