Kostas Kariotellis Amazing New Scratch figure

[Major_Goose]

Dear Friends i have the privilige and honor to show u , the new figure that the best Greek Sculptor (and one of the best masters of the world ) Kostas Kariotellis is finishing these days. Its a Templar Knight in 54 mm.

Based and Inspired on Andrea Jula's Pegaso 90mm Crusader , this is a piece (one of a kind) for collector .

I hope u like it !! Check out the incredible detail . There is going to be finished a special - floating in air - base soon. When i have the painted figure pictures i will show more

I wish u like this one !!

WOW! Nice work! I would dare say as nice as the new Pegaso kit. You can certainly see the influence. Keep us posted on this one!

Kostas, that's beautiful sculpting. You are clearly one of the most talented people in the hobby!

What an exquisite piece! I only wish that it was commercially available as I'd buy it in a second.

Amen to that...would buy a few of those...Kostas should, in my humble opinion, gotten Best in Show in Boston...and he is a very nice man.
Just got my copy of M. Roberts new Pathan...beautiful piece with lots of possiblities.
Anyone know where I can get a Soviet light machine gun in 90mm?

But i surley hope that we see other knights then half covered faces this year.

A very nice smaller version of a much larger figure. I especially like the drapery effects he has done and the true scale thickness he has achieved. Maybe it's angle of the photos but the torso from the waist up looks a little long. again this is based on viewing the photos which can sometimes be misleading.~Gary

hello
I just have this practical-historical question, while admiring this splendid figure:
namely, why in both Pegaso and Kostas piece the naked sword is rested point first on some sort of a very hard ground?
after all this was a stabbing weapon (mainly, at this point of medieval sword development, although slashing was still the equally good option) and such handling could have blunted the point thus affecting the effectivness of the weapon. Just wondering, because artistically speaking - after seeing this pose in countless Hollywood movies or 19th-20th century art, including comix, - it is very appealing

 

[callum]

Stunning work.

Regards Callum.

 

[DaveCox]

Great example of the sculptors art - the detail is so clear & precise.

This is further proof that Kostas is one of the very best sculptors in the hobby. His ability to portray the delicacy and flow of cloth with putty is nothing short of astonishing.

He got my vote for best of Show at Boston as well.

What more needs to be said?

Awesome!

Not generally at this date (although possibly for the sword depicted). In the 13th c. slashing was still the primary method of fencing as the design of blades shows. As far as this sort of abuse of a fine sword goes, even the Japanese didn't avoid doing this it would seem.

What's much more important historically is how either man would get the shield off his back with the belt being so tight!
