Hi folks. There have been some excellent knights shown here in the past few days. While I know my poor works do not compare to the ones already shown, I would like to display him anyway.

This knight has been fulfulling his duty to provide care for poor, sick or injured pilgrims to the Holy Land. As he is part of a religious/military Order, he has seen many battles and can be called a veteran.

Medicom body, with HT Krauser head. Ignite and Sideshow clothing and weapons. Custom made cloak. Everything was repainted and/or severely weathered. The cloak seemed to soak up whatever I used to make it dirty.

I hope you like him and thanks for looking. Comments/Criticisms always welcomed.

That Krauser headsculpt is pretty cool on your knight, lots of character on that face.
Resolute and determined, reinforced by the lovely Rosary hanging from his belt.
Great presentation of him, the cloak and garb look superb and the torn and battle-worn detailings are excellent, as well as the rope and leather belts and bindings you used. My only criticism? He's not MINE! :razz

Wow that's awesome! I was gonna do the exact same thing with my Hospitalier and the Krauser HS but I never could get the HS at a decent price. The torn cloth and the Rosary really look great too. Sweet work!!

Awesome use of that HT head! Great weathering, too!

Great looking figure and one hell of an axe!!!!!

I agree, there have been some excellent knights lately.... yours is one of them!!! Great job! I especially like all the extra detail work you did.

Also, what a great HS. It really sets the tone of the piece!!

Thanks for posting it.

What is to criticize? This guy is perfect right down to the base. That sculpt adds so much character and your weathering on the shield is world class.

Very very cool man, I like everything about it, great use of the rope and leather, awesome weathering. HS was excellent choice.

Another vote for nice weathering.
Does the HS come with the great scars or where they your doing?.
Only criticism I have is the longsword looks out of period for the Knight.
Minor issue that takes nothing away from a great figure.
Dang, I wish I had scars like that!

That's pretty slick, the head sculpt does seem very fitting. And the weathering is really good.

 

[zebraten]

Thanks to all, I surely appreciate it. The scars come that way, with the headsculpt...it's a very nice h/s. And the sword is from a LOTR figure, so it is most definately out of period! Thanks again!

i agree that the hs really does set the mood for your figure. liking the flagstones also. are they made from clay?

Thanks, Ian. The base is actually a kitchen backsplash, which I have glued together.

 

[Argus]

That h/s choice was perfect.

 

[DEIIP]

Whoa!!! This piece is awesome!!! You did an excellent job on the weathering aspect of the fig, and the natural pose is just great!!! Outstanding work my friend!

 

[azazel]

An absolutely outstanding figure. I have to say this is my personal favorite of all the medieval figures I have seen. The careful weathering and the little details are what make it trancend. Top work.

Man dont sell yourself or your abilities short bud, thats a fantastic figure !!
The weathering is perfect and that sculpt was made for your figure.
