SH75015
Hans Zu Sachsen at Tournament, C1500
Sculpted by Lupanov Sergey
Painted by Lee Sang Eon
37 white metal parts
lead foil for cords / brass etched plaque

Seil Miniatures has brought us a beautiful 75mm Knight at Tournament with all the heraldry sculpted into the tapestry. A 37 part figure kit comes sandwiched between layers of foam in Seil's traditional heavy black box.

Above left is the first layer of parts with all small parts sealed in a compartmentalized clear plastic. On the right is the second layer of parts which is the horse Heraldry which is sculpted in relief.

The basic parts of the knight are seen above. Legs, chest and helmet and 2 arms with one hand attached to the respective arm.

Above is the front and back of the leg section with minimal seam lines to clean.

Above are three views of the upper portion of the body and the helmet.

Above is front and back view of the arms.

The lance looks to me rather short but I like it.

 

[busso_boy]

i thought the lance looked too short myself but not being into this kind of thing i thought it was just me thinking it.

guess its an easy enough thing to extend

very beautiful kit anyway

I would have to agree Ian, my thoughts were taht the lance was a little short as well, but is still a beautiful mini.
