Completed 90 Mm Mounted Templar Knight..

[macke]

Hi! Finally I´ve got this 90 mm mounted crusader from Romeo models finished. This has been one of my longest running builds ever. It takes alot of hard work to finish a mounted figure and you has to think twice before every next step. This model took me almost two and a half year to finish of course I haven´t worked on this model all that time. Maybe I could have worked even more on this model but I guess you have to draw a line somwere and considering it finished. I hope that you appriciate this figure.

Very Nice stuff
A couple of years to finish on a 90mm mounted thats not bad, I have one which has been awaiting me to fit the reins and bit for
nearly Twenty Years so much so I have lost the parts and the bloody thing is no longer available

I saw it live in Malmö the previous weekend. Its a very nice model and I do not think the pictures does it justice. Especially the tone of the white is affected by the background I think.
Congratulations to the gold Markus!

Wow!! I like this paint!!

Thanks for your kind words regarding my figure. The model was painted using acrylics mainly from the Andrea white painting set but making my own
blends with other colors such as Vallejos deck tan, Iraqi sand and choclate brown. The big areas were airbrushed then the transitaions were painted using very diluted blends from the Andrea set. It is hard to explain the painting process but it felt like two steps forward and one step back all the time.
Oilcolors were used for the flesh and leather parts on this figure but mainly acrilics were used for the most part.

Hi Markus. Great work. I like it a lot. The smooth transitions and textures are very well achieved. It´s quite hard to handle a mounted figure in 90mm. Talking about the ground, I like very much the detail of the skull with the helmet buried in the sand. (Nice detail)

Outstanding paintwork all around.
I wonder: should I manage that white color as good as you did if I spent 2 1/2 year with it

Durn Burn it. . . I'm so jealous, . . . like Kermit The Frog. . .
Yeh, Miss Piggy, take a hike. . . But I'm green with envy.
However, I feel white or off white is such a difficult colour
to paint, like red and black. Wow, what a beautiful job
you have done on this equestrian figure. And also, the
photos are just so full of drama, atmosphere, and tension.

Congratulations on a beautiful presentation,

Thanks again guys for your encourageing words regarding my figure It makes me wonder if I should start a new 90 mm mounted figure in the near future. Maybe it will get easier to build and paint a figure like this time

Exellent pantning Markus! It's s stunning
Figure and you done a super Job. Painting such a large figure With so much white is not a easy task. I think you managed it very well. The scull is so typical your attention to the tiniest details. Love it! Well done Marcus.

The other stuff on your blog is also great, I really would like to se some sbs from you in the future.
