Completed Roaming Knight

[zane666]

Yes indeed Ron avery nice piece all round, I think anything that has a horse and rider can be time consuming, particularly with trial fitting.

Damn fine work Ron looking forward to seeeing it. Are you entering it at the Glasgow Show next weekend?

Had forgotten about that show Del ,If I get it totally finished and complete the transport setup I will enter it, the dame ting weighs over a kilo so I have drilled an 8mm dowel hole in the bottom of the base and will make a footplate with with an 8mm peg which I can slot into the carrying case as I don't trust blue tack to hold it on it's own

Thanx Zane
There were some scary moments indeed where the whole thing could have went belly up a lot of drilling and pinning. trial fitting ,part painting then gap filling once it was glued , the horses main is in three parts and took a little figuring out what went where , rider needs to go on before the shield " found that out the hard way" some serious filling on the underside of the supplied base so I could pin it to the plinth ; will need to re-supply with magic sculpt but all in all a fun piece to do , the horse in-itself is a fantastic sculpt .

Just a thought Ron. Remember the guys that judge at Glasgow are not used to handling figures and can be a bit heavy handed.

That is alarming Del , but they should not need to touch it one would hope

It is a very badly run show re the display area for models . kinda reflects on the whole thing .
Will have to think about it seriously

This is looking great all over.
The colour of the reigns really stands out for me as does the shading on the clip clop.

Magnificent piece of art, as i watch it closely with all these fine details and fantasting matching of colors one
phrase from an old classic movie comes in mind, rephrasing it " Master the model is alive"...
Excellent work from top to bottom.
