Pegaso 75mm Fratres militiæ Christi Livoniae or Livonian Knight in the XIII century

Too good not to be shared - Fabulous miniature, reviving the medieval Teutonic Orders coming in for Christmas, here beautifully painted by Pietro Balloni:

Sienese school of sculpting at its very best:

Back on track with a cracking piece.
Really like the pose and some very nice attention to detail.
Plenty of different materials and textures to keep us painters very happy.

Yet another wonderful crusader this is really nice !! what scale is it .
My heart always drops when I see Pietro paint as he is so bloody good it frightens me off trying to copy

Im getting hooked on these Crusaders though

I thought you Jocks were immune to the cold Ron, must be that Mediterranean blood.

Very nice Figure on a great scale…I do love Crusaders, one of my best eras…But one thing bothers me sometimes, and this thing is how FRESH they are.. These baby faces with razor-Gillette double blades razors look, IMO do not reflect the real thing special on that time where people aging fast…and the most important, they had beards.

None the less, is a great sculpture

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

You may be right about the Double Gillette blade look Rodrigo would be more of a five o clock shadow blade ; the ones you used to sharpen your pencil with at school

Hello Debrito, you can changed the face with the paint ... I'll show you soon ... o)
