WIP Critique Knights Templar

[kiwi45]

Hi all, here is an update on Andrea's Knight's Templar Sergeant 1250.
have rebuilt shield as previous one too small. also surcoat and mail to paint. comments most welcome. Les

 

[Gellso]

Very nice. I love the leather.

Looking good Les. Nice idea to re-work the shield. My only suggestion would be to tone down the brass on the helmet. A couple of washes to take the edge off maybe, but this only my choice.

Regards

Ron

Nice work Les. I specially like the leather. What type of paint are you using: acrilics or oil?

Thanks Andrew, appreciate your comments. Les

Really looking good Les! I have wanted this bust for quite some time. I have to admit I have heard some not so flattering comments about the quality of the casting. Some people have also said they had no problems with the casting. I just don't want to get one with a bad casting I guess. How was your's?

Jim, Andy. Many thanks for your feedback.
Jim, the sculpt is exellent, I have experienced no problems what so ever. I can recommend it without hessitation. Les

 

[Don]

Just great Les, super bit of work. Like what you have done with this very nice figure.

Jim I think the much talked about bad casting was just at the very start. I dont think there have been any problems since the quality control was straightened out. Have seen a few and they look perfect
