Kjundude1 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 Hello Guys. This is a 54mm knight Hospitaller from Friulmodels. Yes, the same company that makes the cool armour tracks. Comments always welcome. Chris Fontenot
Dick Montgomery Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 Very nice highlighting and shadowing along the folds of the cape in the front....especially the way the paint accentuates the folds over the knee.
RobMorales Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 Beautiful, Dude! Very efficient use of muted tones for the black.
MikeMoore Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Hi Chris, I think he looks great. It's unusual and interesting to see a figure of that era portrayed in clean garb and waiting for battle to commence rather than all muddied and bloodied up after the fight! What did you use for the helmet? I think that looks really good. Mike
Kjundude1 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Posted September 24, 2011 Hello Mike, Thanks for the kind words. I have only been painting for about 3 years, so I still have a lot to learn. I have done knights that were dirty and bloody with the "after the battle" look, but this project was so I could experiment with black (really muted grey tones) to achive contrast without loking like a zebra effect. I only use Vallejo acrylics. The helmet was base coated with oily steel, shaded with oily steel and black mix, and highlighted with silver. Chris Fontenot
