Pegaso 200mm Templar Knight

[MCPWilk]

This is another figure from my grey army, picked up a year or three ago and now OOP. Most of my figures are painted in acrylics, with shading done in enamels. Flesh is always painted in oils. For this figure I decided to use oils over a Humbrol primer for most of the painting apart from gambeson, footwear, mail/helment and shield face. The base is from Oakwood and the sign from Name-it. The Templars were famed for not washing and I suspect that includes their attire as well as themselves!:

Happy modelling,

Mike

Very nice work. Especially at that scale.
I think I once had a Templar for a colleague.
Was it a resin fig?

 

[MCPWilk]

Thank you. It was a Pegaso resin figure, now regrettably OOP.

You've got an excellent command of the whites, perfectly rendered. Aweomse job, Mike!

 

[MCPWilk]

Once again, many thanks for your kind comments.

Very nice whites!
Any secret? Or just shading (with enamel, as you mention on your first post)? Or did you use oils for the shading on this particular figure?

Anyway, a very nice piece!

Cheers!

The white was oils throughout over a standard Humbrol primer.

If I was a Cockney..I would say that is "awwhite".

Dear Mike, thank you for the link to your lovely figure! I really like the way you have completed the white sections; always a difficult colour to shade. Too little and it does not show up properly, especially in photo's whilst too much and the figure looks like a Zebra! Yours looks great. The figure looks as if he has been in action as opposed to the 1940's Hollywood version when they are all freshly laundered.
I must get around to a Medieval figure, I haven't painted chain or plate armour for years. I will probably have to relearn the techniques!
Cheers, Paul
