Gothic Knight

[Roc]

This is a huge 90mm. Andrea Gothic Knight, feels like it weighs a ton.

1- a) Brushed the armor with a swuede brush.

B-) Burnished the armor 000 steel wool.

c} Washed it with warm water and Ivory dishwashing detergent,make sure you
you rinse well.

d} gave the the armor numerous controlled washes of Ivory black mixed
with turps.

e} When dry I burnished the extreme highlight points with the end of a knitting
needle.
f} weathered the bottom half of the armor with a wash of raw Umber. Did not
apply sealer beacause I wanted a tarnished look.

Cheers

Great work Roc,
Looks like the Seil model i did. But this one has more weight, bigger, and is extremely well done.

Thank you Dimitris, much appreciated.
I also feel sorry for that poor Squire, I'm sure he did all the hard work.
