Templar Knight - Seil Miniatures Review

[Guy]

SH75016
Templar Knight
Sculpted by Sergey Zlobov
Painted by Lee Sang Eon
75mm white metal / resin base / brass plaque
26 parts, 2 heads included

This is Seil's last mounted kit of a Templar Knight sculpted by planetfigure member Sergey Zlobov. The kit is again packed in a sturdy black box with all parts sandwiched between layers of foam. Small parts are sealed in a clear plastic bag for protection against loss. A color guide is included as well as sheet lead for the Knight's banner. A steel rod is also included for the banner staff.

Above we see the parts laid out for inspection. The resin base is sturdy but hollow inside. The etched brass plaque is sealed in clear plastic to prevent scratching during shipping.

Above are the two optional heads. One with open face and the other below in the helm.

Above are the basic parts of the figure with the two heads. The bottom photo shows a close-up of the detail of the leg armor.

Above are front and back views of the Knight's cape and shield.

Above are the parts that make up the horse. The saddle is also pictured.

The small parts come sealed in plastic to ensure against loss.

The flag comes in sheet lead with a pattern included in the color guide for the exact size and where to cut. A steel rod is included for the banner staff.

Above is the sloped resin base included in the kit. The underneath is hollowed out.

Above is the color guide included in the kit showing the pattern for the banner in the middle of the two photos of the completed figure.

Conclusion:
An excellent figure I am sure we will see alot of in the upcoming years at the various shows throughout the world. The dramatic pose as well as the drapery and folds will make this a classic that won't be on the shelves long. Minimal clean-up required. Excellent kit, highly recommended.

Hello Guy
This is a real nice kit and nice review, I have this one myself but was waiting for the second mounted templar that Sergey sculpted to go with it, sadly this looks like it will not go into production now, real shame as they would have looked so cool together.
Cheers
Tommi

Hi guys!

I have this figure also.
I am sad to say this but i am disappointed a little bit.
I think the mail rings are very big and it is out of scale it would be ok a 120mm figure, I Think Juriy Serebriakov mail ring is much better...sorry Sergey

But I am a big fun of Sergey mounted figures I have all which released by seil
I hope we will see Sergey'figures at another company i am waiting for mounted mountain men.

Thanks all my friends and colleagues!
Also I thank Labossa for your frank response! Any specified (designated) mistake is a lesson for the following figure. Thanks.

Also my colleagues and friends know about closing company Seil - but Lupanov Sergey, Jury Serebryakov and Zlobov Sergey continue to make the following figures... For other project!.
We worry with my colleagues and we shall soon tell and we shall show new our figures - very soon!
Yours faithfully also I do not say goodbye....
