Hi all,

Here's the finished pics of the English Knight I showed in progress recently. I got some very good feedback and pointers from Calvin Tan on improving the finishing and have incorporated whatever I could, short of stripping the entire thing down again! Thanks Calvin for the pointers.

I would love to receive some critical feedback / suggestions for improvements.

Also, I definitely would not be in a position to comment on historical accuracy but all input welcome.

Manufacturer : Soldiers
Sculptor : Adriano Laruccia
Scale : 90mm
Medium : Acrylics + oils


Cheers
Basil

Wow! Been waiting to see this one finished. As to a critique i can't see one in the pictures.

Well done, sir! Love the surcoat and the shield (front and rear). Great metals, too.

Hello Basil,

Very nice tones, good detail work on the tunic, well done overall! Hope to see more of your work!

Very beautiful, i like especially the blues of the clothing and the metals. How did you paint the metals ?

Cheers

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the encouraging feedback.

The heraldry was painted on using a stencil from Tommi Worton (http://tommi-miniatures.moonfruit.com). Was a bit difficult to cut and a bit on the small side (which explains why I painted a white border) but once I got it on it worked like a charm.

As this figures is in metal, the metal was polished and washed with black and burnt sienna oils (in rust prone areas) similar to Steve Weakley method (reference HM mag.). Not difficult just takes a lot of patience to get the polishing done.

BTW, it was tough assembling this figure even with pinning and fast curing epoxy. Having to hold things together while they cured was a pain. Am now looking for an industrial strength, gap filling glue from Loctite to solve that.

Hardy - Calvin and I were coincidentally talking about your work as he gave me those pointers! Your work's an inspiration for me!

Cheers
Basil
