Casual review of Knight Models

[Michael Tse]

Hi guys,

I havent posted anything for some time now. Instead I go around saying this is awesome, that needs a little bit of work, and generally just went on and on about Young Miniature's head sculpts in other people's posts. Sorry to be a pain but it is in my nature...

I haven't seen Knight Model kits being toyed with on Planet at all, nor in any of the shows. Somehow the guys who are having fun with this excellent range just won't show up. Do not enough people know about it? No way!

Well, if that is the case, then this post of mine has one message. Please give Knight some thought. This manufacturer rocks.

All Knight Model kits are 75mm, white metal. Right now they have two lines: Marvel and Star Wars.

In UK, it is distributed by SKminiatures.

They also do a 30mm Star Wars range and I agree with you, superb figures.

Cheers Ken

Oh sorry, forgot about that. Yeah, they are all golden.

Yes Mike very correct , I am a Sci Fi fan and I am very impressed with their sculpts in all the scales they offer. A must get for me - much hammering of the credit card.

Thats why I only have one to review... They are pricey.

Ngai I happy to be one of those who gave those beauties a try. I ve completed Wolverine(with the leather jacket on) and have Thor and Captain America waiting on the bench. They are very well sculpted and castes figures. I m not sure about there scale though. They certaintly are not 54 but they are smaller than the clasic 75 mm that pegaso produces. Anyway good luck with this one and keep us posted.

Jimilas,
I can see that you are one of the masters, and I would love to see how you have painted this beauty. Could you kindly send me a link?

 

[jimias]

Hi Jimias,

I just pmed you. Look fwd to hearing from you.

Gosh I am so shocked to find I have quite a few incoming mails in my inbox. Planet friends have been very enthusiastic and helpful and the last thing I want is to leave an impression of being unresponsive!

Sorry folks!

Ngai,
I have the Yoda figure and it is great casting. It will be one of my early future projects. They are a great line.
Cheers,
John

I agree, these are great figures! I have Luke & Yoda, Han Solo, Captain America, Yoda, Hulk (which is cast in resin), & Wolverine. ALL are top notch!

 

[Michael Tse]

John and Ric,

I look fwd to seeing what you guys do with these beauties!

I have yet to make them but I got the Joker figure - both of them and the Thor and Batman...all are exceptionally well cast but they are pricey.

Hi All,
Looks a nice sculpt, just to add the Star Wars license has now ceased and no more Star Wars are being produced, they do crop up occasionally so I would grab one as the prices I have seen for some are quite high.
I have several including the vader bust. Quality unfortunately ranged from really really nice to not so good, I think it is luck as to how old the mould is or has been used. I don't have any other ranges so cannot comment but wanted to let SW modellers know to grab them while you can, not sure without looking at all but I know some are also limited.
All the best

I have all of The Lord of the Rings figures produced by Knight Models. Excellent sculpting and casting and well researched for accuracy and likenesses.

 

[Adrian Cowdry]

Interesting about the Star Wars license. I have Vader yet to build...now it becomes a choice of keep or build - it becomes a collectors piece now that they are out of production!Damn I hate it when that happens.

I have Superman and the originally released Thor which is the older comic version. Both figures are great castings. In both cases the capes are heavy metal pieces and may need a glue a bit stronger than superglue. They are pricey but I think they are worth it. Scale is 70mm I would say for the larger figures but they do a smaller range too.
