John FitzMarmaduke 1298

[Macca G]

John FitzMarmaduke at the battle of Falkirk 1298.
Masterclass 90mm English Knight XIV Century sculpted by Adriano Laruccia (the old Soldiers kit).
There was some initial confusion with this kit as the boxart doesn't match the parts supplied in the box. But by doing research with an old back issue of Figure International magazine, I was able to find out that the boxart is actually a heavily modified version of the kit.
Kit painted in acrylics.

I have this kit and was thinking of making it my next build. Do you have tips for assembly?

Very nice paint, and work on the terrain is amazing too - very realistic grass.

Cheers Borek

G'day Kevin.
Fitting the lower tunic is a bit tricky, so you may find you have to slightly bend the front section for a better fit around the legs. There is a gap around the belt so allow a bit of filling and sanding as you go.
Have fun!

Excellent version of this "classic".

Kev the steel armour was done with Scale 75's metal N' Alchemy set, Vallejo Gloss Black and Andrea Brown and black inks. Heraldry was painted freehand
