Nice Work from Stefano. 75 is a new expedition for Seil Models and i wish it goes good. look very interesting

In my opinion he looks a little ungainly with the helmet on his back, but it's well scuplted as we'd expect from Stefano and will be striking when painted. Laods of detail for the brush to find.

Hello Roc and Stefano

This is very impressive. As Dave says, a lot of detail in there to attract the painter. I have painted several of Stefano's pieces and I know this one will be good. It's certainly on my list.

Thanks for the preview

Best regards

Phil

Yes Dave!!!, it's a good question.
Figure looks a bit strange... because Middle Age is strange!

You have to imagine that in medieval period the most of comander looks something as little Panzer on legs.

The most of time was spent to excogitate the way to carry in the battle more weapons as possible ready to be used, not only great helms.

There were knight with aech weapon hold with chains, kind of terrible for moving.
The most of them had a page who brougt athers kind of weapons.

In my opinion it's to dificoult find sculptor who, to a good work, adds quivering sensation of reality of facts.



ciao Stefano!!!

Classic Borin I must say, very nice overall with good anatomy and stance although I think the grip on the lance is funny (natural tendency is to grip using the ball of the thumb and opposing fingers, which gives a better line to the hand/wrist). That long two-hander would be very unusual for the day but the shield looks like it's about scale thickness which is noteworthy to say the least!

Indeed it was but that was what the chains were for
