Hi Wolf Knight,

Absolutely fantastic customs and photos! I really like what you've done to give each knight (and King Arthur) a clear and different 'personality.'

To be honest, I've never really much cared for the whole Arthurian thing (I know: a strange attitude for someone with both a personal and professional interest in the Middle Ages), but somehow your figures and photos seem to capture something... Not quite sure what it is, but it very definitely works for me :)9

I (like many others, I'm sure) look forward to more photos!

Cheers,

AndrewL

Very nice diorama, Wolf Knight.  Nicely captures the atmosphere and spirit of King Arthur and the Round Table.   :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

Thank you very much Gordon :wave: :wave:!!! I wanted something quite unique for these guys, and I am so happy to know I've captured the true essence of the theme!!!

Splendid diorama, Panos!

Your Sir Lancelot looks exactly the way I picture him in my mind ... clean, pure, reverent and with shiny gold and silver armor ...  ;D

Thank you for an excellent presentation!
Richard

So glad you enjoyed them Andrew  :wave: :wave:!!!! I think what makes this work so good is the different knights, as you pointed out (and somehow it works for all the characters), and the Round Table of course!!!!
And since you are so anxious to see more....I'll try my best!!!!  ;)

Yes they are Damo...unfortnately this table is a little high for the klickies....so i had to make them stand on the battlements to look taller .... but i am trying to think of a way to change that....

Hack the table legs down, that's what I say ;D

Excellent portrayal of my most favorite mythical story :wow:! You have captured the feeling perfectly :clap:! Are you going to add a Merlin, & Lady Guinevere :yup:?
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

Very nice setup and customs!

I always felt the original Playmobil knights were of the Camelot style, and we've move a long way away since, but I like your designs.

When Karim gets to Winchester he will see a 14th Century table that pretends to be the original round table.

To be honest, I've never really much cared for the whole Arthurian thing ...

Same here, unless it's made fun of:

    We're knights of the round table.
    We dance when e'er we're able.
    We do routines and chorus scenes
    With footwork impeccable.
    We dine well here in Camelot.
    We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.

    We're knights of the Round Table.
    Our shows are formidable,
    But many times we're given rhymes
    That are quite unsingable.
    We're opera mad in Camelot.
    We sing from the diaphragm a lot.

    In war we're tough and able,
    Quite indefatigable.
    Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable.
    It's a busy life in Camelot.

    I have to push the pram a lot.

Thank you Wolf Knight, you did seem to capture the 'feel' quite nicely and like Richard I think your Lancelot is spot on.  :wave:
