Title: Attempting custom knights with cowabounga's stickers!
Post by: Wolf Knight on October 26, 2010, 08:17:02
Arnaud was anxious to see this for some time now!!! So here goes: Still in the process of making a full equiped knight but my progress so far is that I did it with the ancient greek shield but blew it a bit with the lion/fluer de lis sticker....

The process was great fun, as I was trying to follow Arnaud's instructions but was not really sure what I was doing...

At first I was not sure about pulling out both protective sides of the sticker... But it was a great revelation to me when I slowly pulled the protective side for the greek shield...

And the sandpaper method and adhesive is so much fun!!! I'll use it for other parts too!!!

Thanks Arnaud!!! Stay tuned for the rest!!!

Once you follow instructions and really be carefull to push the sticker again and again around its edges, its very easy to do!!!

Nice first try WK!
Gis suggested we use skype if you need live instructions. I think that's a good idea, though you seem to do very well without help!
PM me if needed.
Cheers

Arnaud

The Gryphon Knight looks great!!!

I will have a go at some soon as well, although I forgot to bring them with me to Brussels *grumble*

Once I am confident in my skills I think I might have a surprise for you Sir Wolf *grin*

Thank you so much for all your time Arnaud :-)

Thanks Gaston!!! The leg and arms armour is dark grey .... I could not find a dark grey helmet to fit the gryphon... but after a small search... 5886 - Knights With Fancy Shields Duo-Pack (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?set=5886) is the oly set that has a dark grey helmet like that!!!....

Nope Panos, you're wrong! The dark grey helmets I use come from the Easter egg knight from 200? The griffon knight. He also has a dark grey dagger which was exclusive to this set (with the  shield and the pointed gark grey visor...)
I couldn't find a picture of the knight alone, so it's the second from the right on this pic.

Sorry did not notice your remark there Arnaud. Yes I know this helmet but unfortunately the red gryphon crest cannot stand on this helmet...

ok I see what you mean... how did you fit that visor there?

Btw, the red gryphon crest still does not fit/sit properly on the helmet...

I too am curious...?
Did you drill the holes on the visor larger? ???

Clever guys at last! It required some work with a power drill and burrs (but I have plenty of those :P). Just compare with one you have and you'll see the differences.
2 Panos: Yeah but the red feather does fit, so what? I only bought 12 of those Eagle heads!

Cheers

As for the eagle head, I don't know...I guess I am a freak for uniformity....

He looks great Sir Wolf! Can't wait to see your malevolent plans in actions (as long as they aren't geared towards me:-)
