Reply With QuoteHi Tommy. Are you familiar with the phrase 'Gob smacked'! That is one work of art.
Just out of interest, do you happen to have a Knight Templar as well? I would imagine they could look spectacular together.

This figure faithfully represents a “franco” knight from the first half of the XIII Century during the fourth Crusade with a characteristic helmet with a flat skull piece and bulb mask.
The Hospitaller Monks during that period wore black with a white cross.
The Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Order of Hospitallers or simply Hospitallers, was at the beginning a group of men attached to a hospital in Jerusalem that was founded by Blessed Gerard around 1023.
The Hospitallers and the Knights Templar, became the most powerful Christian groups during the crusades.
I tried to give him a worn, sunbleeched and battle hardened look.
The figure had the option to have the bulb mask on or off, as you can see I choose the first option. I discovered that it was quite hard to give him a face expression without the help of the rest of his face.
So I did my best to make him look alive with only the eyes.
The scrates on his helmet are made with paint only. I did a experiment to see if I could fool the eye.
The figure is a metal figure, scale 1:18.
Thanks for Viewing.

Hi Ian, thank you very much!
And yes, I got a Knight Templar or more correct I have two. One Knight Templar and one Sergeant Templar, both still in their boxes.

First of all, five stars Tommy. And second, WOW!! As Tony said 'Gob smacked'. It's a beautiful build bud, just wish i could do figures like this.
Have fun, John
Wow, so the scratch on the helmet is just paint? Very nicely done!
Hi Tommy
Simply beautiful.

Are you having a go at the sniper GB?
Cheers, Andy

No I don't think I will join the GB this time. I'm in the middle of another figure so I want to complete that one before I start a new one.Originally Posted by andygh
I'm sorry Polux, but I do not understand your question.
