Mercury Models - Medieval Knight 14c

[DEL]

As usual apologies for the very poor photos (must try harder)
Picked this up from Brian Snaddon a couple of weeks ago, it's a beautifully detailed sculpt throughout.
It's definitely a model for those of us who have slight OCD tendencies. There are about 300 individually sculpted tiny studs needing painted along with maybe about 40 straps and buckles.
You have a choice of having the visor open or closed, I went for closed because I liked the 'sinister' look it gives the figure. Seeing the photos there are a few things I'll tidy up as well as adding darker mud.
Thanks for looking
Cheers
Derek

Very nicely painted Del.
I guess you are now the official PF stud.

Unbelievable work on this. To fully appreciate the detail people really need to see this in the 'flesh'.
It was my first Mercury Figure......won't be my last.

Nice work. Like the metals.

A lot of the shading and staining is washed out in the photos but I'll bring it to Darlington and you can have a closer look.

Great work Derek.

Thanks Marc ..... I know that this subject is no longer in your area of interest but if they ever move to Naps or WW1 and maintain the standard they'll be must haves.

Nice job bringing out the detailing.

Thanks Bob ....... a lot more going on here than the photos show.
A really enjoyable project, needs a bit of planning though to work logically through the layers.

Brilliant work Derek - a very realistic paintjob. Think this is a very well posed figure. I'd like to get one day. Your metals look spot on too.
