Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, XIII century, Pegaso 54mm

[Mati]

Hello,

I have not presented anything on PF for a good while now so eventually decided to post 54mm Pegaso figure which I finished this autumn. Beautifully sculpted piece by Gianni la Rocca, painted with Talens artistic oils, Mr. Hobby and Humbrol metalizers. I hope to get back to 54mm subjects after I am done with few 1/72 planes that I currently have on my workbench.

Best regards,

Mateusz

Wow, really nice. And I love the system of roots (I think that is what it is?)
you've made the tree trunk from. A very nice presentation. Even your
choice for the typeface. . . it has that old English feel to it, but unlike
Old English which is especially hard to read (all caps are definitely a no no
in Old English we were taught in advertising art class) this is very easy to
read. Great presentation. Congrats.

This is nicely done Mateusz, i like the way the muddy hem on the surcoat compliments the winter enviroment, nice looking figure.

Great work.
But when he is a grandmaster i believe that he should have an eagle in the yellow cross.

Wow,
I like your figure. the withe part is really nice and the weathering is excellent. I did painted that figure this year and the sculpting was really nice.

You did a great job on the base also.

Thanks for sharing

Very nice weathering on the surcoat. Congrats on a lovely figure.

Is it just me or does he look like one of the Knights of Ni from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

Oh......... just me then.

Must keep taking my medication.

Many thanks for such kind comments. Kansas kid, yes, you are absolutely wright - the trunk is made of a root plus some leaves are added (Plus Model product, from what I remember).
Megroot, as far as an eagle is concerned, it is possible, I do not have an extensive knowledge within the field of heraldy and I simply followed the artbox of this figure...will try to do some research next time.

Regards,

Mateusz
