Hello Roc,

What's that. I can't believe my eyes. So nice, so beautiful, extremely well done.
I hope that someday in this life i can paint a knight on a horse.
I find it always amazing. Especially with the heraldy.
You had to make a promise.
When you do such a figure again, you must do a SBS.

I wanna thank you for the pictures.

Marc.

Much better pictures Roc of a beautifully painted figure. I enjoyed painting this Steel Bonnets figure years ago when it first came out. Its a shame it is no longer available. Alot of their kits were very well detailed. Thanks for posting the updated pictures.

wow!! I like this one Roc, the composition is great and I like a lot the terrain, what did you use for the plants and leaves...?

 

[Roc]

Hi Bert, Thanks for the compliment and the encouraging words,much appreciated.

World war II figures are also very detailed,especially the different colors on the camoflage, I've never painted a modern figure yet,but I 'm looking forward to painting one in the future.

Cheers,

Roc.

Hello Marc, thank you very much for the kind words and I'm glad you like the figure.

I promise you that next time I paint a knight I will do a step by step.

Cheers,

Roc

Hey Guy, thanks I'm glad you like the new picture,much clearer than then old ones.

I would love to see your version of the the Black Prince, can you post some pics?

Take care.

Roc.

 

[Roc]

Hey Andy, thanks you are too kind.
I'm glad I bought a new camera too, the old camera was very frustrating.



Cheers,

Ernesto, thank you very much for the compliment and the encouragement, I do value your opinion.
The vegetation used grows wild in the park where I go jogging, when I see something I like, I stop and gather some.
The miniature leaves come from a miniature plant that grows in California, I don’t know the name; I purchased several little bags from Phil Kessling, I don’t know if he still sells them.

By the way you did a fantastic job on the highlander, very well done.

Ciao,

Roc.

Simply BEAUTIFUL!! I can really appreciate the time and energy spent on all the hearldry you painted on this piece. I did some simple crosses a few years ago and even though it turned out well, it was a nightmare.

Nice Job. Keep up the great work.

Here is my rendition of the 90mm Knight. I chose the red and yellow. The heraldry wasn't too bad as it was sculpted in relief on the figure. Just took alot of time to complete.

 

[Roc]

Hey guy, thanks for posting, you did a nice job on the Black Prince.


Keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Roc.

Roc and Guy, well done I like this kind of figures, has any of you purchased the new 90mm Pegaso knight ? ... expensive, I know, but you could make that one into a spectacular Richard the Lionheart !

Didn't I&E purchase the master figure of this Black Prince ?

 

[Roc]

Hello Johan, thanks, I'm glad you like both versions, diversity is the spice of life.

This was a figure originally sculpted by Peter Twist, one of the greatest miniature sculptors and produced by Bill Murray from still Bonnet.
Steel Bonnet sold the master to I&E; it was being produced for a short while from resin and from what I hear was not well caste.

I haven't seen this Pegaso figure; I'll have to check it out.


Cheers,
Roc.
