Hello

From Knight Models, we decided from these developments, stop limit editions of our kits, there are many references that are still out of print demanded by our customers, so from now the news will not be limited.
The above will be kept in limited edition

We want to take this opportunity to apologize for the delays in orders for the past two months, we are working to solve these problems and hope they will be solved soon.
Thanks for your understanding

Team Knight Models.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS

BIG Fan of Knight models, great subjects, star wars, lord of the rings etc. I have purchased many models and will definitely continue to do so.

My only niggle (not only with Knight Models but more so after seeing Aragorn) is that the figures are sometimes posed, their stance almost looks forced, and quite unrealistic. e.g. it bugs me that Aragorn has the sword in one hand and the bow in the other, what is he going to do? shoot the sword with his bow? or is he posing in a macho manner saying I have a sword and a bow? Another example Princess Leia Organa Boush - I get the impression she is on holiday and is taking a picture to send back home...the only thing that is missing is someone saying "smile"......

I apologize for my little outbreak, but I find the subject matter of Knight Models awesome, but the unrealistic pose on certain figures, however much I like them, will mean that I will not be purchasing them. Of course if someone can convince me otherwise...I am open to suggestions.
 
Dont get me wrong I am a big fan and I think the figure is great...I also get that I am talking about realistic poses on a fictional figures or model figures (ironic)...I know and accept that artistic license on the part of the sculptors and modellers is part of the game - however it's one of those things that bums me (personally) out sometimes. As modeleres (I believe) we go to great lengths to get colours, uniforms and details etc correct and perfect.

Anyway...really look forward to seeing an Uruk-Hai figure - and I don't care if he will be holding a bazooka or a banana- I will turn a blind eye and buy it. Thanks for listening.
 
Why has Aragorn got a Bow in his left hand....?

Dave

Hello friend

Because :
1 it's not easy to hold both sword and bow in the same hand
2 because he is walking to his combat post, the rope is on the bow, that's happend only when you think you may need to use your bow
3 because he is on the top of a slope, the weather is not good, it rained the night before, the ground is damp and he don't want to spoil his bow
4 usualy he has the Daily News in his left hand, but, he didn't received it today
5 because it's an artistic license

realy I don't know, but it's a macho think.... this is fantasy
;)

:LOL: :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL: jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja. jejejeje


i designed the pose of the two miniatures.. so it is my fault Dave. next time he will have his hand free. i dint know it was not allowed to carry two things at the same time. but my girlfriend always tell me that men doenst know how to deal with two things at the same time so , maybe she is right.....jejejej.

Btw, the real answer is nº5. artistic license.

Haha, I do see your point.:)
I still like the figure though, I'm thinking he's just picked up a stray bow, after a fight, and not put his sword away yet.
 
I don`t want to sound harsh because the talent of the sculptor is obvious (just look at the beautiful detail work) but I have to admit that I am disappointed of the Aragorn release. So far the faces and poses of the LOTR characters were spot on. "Stryder" has a sort of stiff pose and the face does not look like the actor Viggo Mortensen. Getting his facial features right seems to be difficult because in my eyes so far nobody has succeded to portray him in miniature but I wished that Knight Models would get it right.
Cheers, Martin.

Hey, I love the figure, it's great, just didn't know why, but I will go with the artistic license, I will be getting one

Some brilliant answers guys, cheers guys, ha, ha

I like the Aragorn. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it were resin and half a heartbeat if it were resin and a larger scale (90 or 120 mm). Sigh! Oh well!

Hi guys!
Sorry but after having bought 3 KM miniatures and each time hoping the foundry would improve and justify the price, I am done buying your kits...
Ciao

I love the "zombie" genre ("Walking Dead" - awesome show!) so the Zombie Hunter is a must-have for me.

The Aragorn isn't such a good likeness for Viggo Mortensen as the Andrea 54mm offering (which I have half-done on the shelf), but it's still a very nice figure. As has been said, the bow shouldn't be there but that ought to be an easy fix.
