Aurora (Monogram) Red Knight of Milan

[Ron Bell]

This is the last one of the Aurora knights that most people remember and/or had. The fifth is the Golden Knight of Nice which was the only mounted one, was not around long and now goes for stupid money. If I can find one at a reasonable price, I'll get it just to complete the set. Until then, it's the four knights of wherever.

Great job Ron. What colors/paints/washes did you use on the bird? It looks awesome!!

The eagle was done with Tamiya Gold rattle can paint with a multi coat heavy watercolor wash that was then wiped down with a damp Q-Tip to take it off the high places. It turned out much better than i thought it would.

Excellent job! I do remember seeing them (but not having 'em)  Coincidentally, a guy in my local club showed up at a recent meeting with the silver Knight. These guys are seemingly making a comeback?  😉

Atlantis has re-issued the Silver and Black knights. That's how I got mine.
