Pegaso news June 2015

[loosehead]

Morning gentleman I agree with Del in the sense I have played Rugby all my life and as an ex front rower I have come face to face with is sort of head, ugly as the day is long .
As for the sculpt I get an impression the sculptor is trying for that sneering contempt look were just the top lip sort of lifts and the bottom lip rolls out slightly seen enough of these faces pulled at me on the rugby field usually I hit it and it goes away.
As there is not multiple photo angles and only a painted version I will reserve a judgement till I see a review or even better in the flesh
Cheers

wow, looking nice, great helmet, nice eyes, stubble- excellent ...Bam!! LIPS!

"If Angelina Jolie was a knight" is the name of the movie.

 

[garyhiggins]

I suppose it's just the time of night, but there's more than a hint of Daniel Craig in that face ? (not the zombie).

 

[DEL]

I can't say say no more.I'll probably get my ass kicked on this one;but I'm calling this one as I see it .......no ass kissing,just flat out truth.....It often amazes me that YOUNG'S work gets often crucified when it is more than often very well done.

Can you clarify ....... are you saying I'm ass kissing just because I happen to like this ?

Actually don't bother replying to the previous post. I should have taken your self diagnosis into account.

The 90mm Cruzader is nice with the helmet, without he has a Mongol looking

Thought Figure News was a forum where anyone could express a like or dislike for a figure and if required can give their reasons.
Seems that if someone doesn't agree with your point of view it's now alright for them to imply that you are an Ass Kisser.
No wonder fewer and fewer people are commenting on open forums.
Anyway back to the purpose of this forum, I feel the Crusader is a bit 'long' probably IMO because the mail on the legs looks too tight.
Although I've seen it in the flesh and it is an impressive piece.
Cheers

No wonder why more and more of the best are leaving PF because of people like you......Change your avatar, it looks just like your words.Yeah this will probably be edited too........Wayne

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Sorry Wayne, but I think we have only lost two publicly in the last two months. One your buddy and one who I will miss.

Hardly an exodus. Things are generally fine around here IMO.

Here is a different take on this by Francesco Farabi

 

[captnenglish]

Not none are my thing, and I am not into zombies, but the zombie bust is pretty cool in my opinion. I actually like both busts

 

[ChaosCossack]

I generally don't get into busts but both versions are kinda interesting. The zombie is a change... could make for a challenging painting exercise.
As for the crusader thug.... at first glance the mouth did jump out at me as well. Reading through the posts and going back to the pic over and over I'm thinking this guy's not just an ugly man... he's got the face of a man who's taken more than one bashing to the face. Having spent more than a little time in the gym boxing, muay thai and wrestling as well as a lifetime on the hockey ice and in less than respectable drinking establishments, I've seen a lot of men (yours truly included) who've suffered broken noses, teeth, cheeks, orbital bones and had their lips repeatedly smashed and the look that develops isn't far from the visage of this knight. It's not far fetched to think that the life these guys led might lead to some facial scarring or structural damage.

All that being said, I probably won't buy it and maybe it's not perfect but there have certainly been worse offerings out there.

My two cents worth of sweet F all.

Half the girls in my school looked like him , bumped into two clones 'oops twins " from primary I hadn't seen since the age of eight didn't think it was possible for them any stronger featured

 

[Macca G]

I definitely like the 90mm crusader. But may put some different heraldry on him.

No no Col everybody in the Crusades looked like Orlando Bloom I saw it on TV, joking aside mate you're bang on, having a similar life (less the hockey but Rugby is similar) I've seen that face a hundred times in bars, scrums and on the mat. These guys weren't the knights of chivalry and romance they were brutal, efficient killing machines and no doubt looked it, they had to be just to survive

Not sure I'm supposed to quote my own post but I just wanted to say that I found the film clip over on YouTube under the title "Siege of Acre 1191".

Thanks for the link Gary. Enjoyed that. But to think we complain about Hollywood accuracy in modern movies
