Title: King Arthur's Round Table
Post by: Emma.J on July 31, 2011, 14:03:41: I'm working on some Tudor projects at the mommet and for a bit of a diversion I thought I'd do King Arthur and his round table.

Disclaimer: It's not based on any painting, novel or historical fact. It's been said that King Arthur had over 200 knights at his round table and I didn't fancy making one that big! Nor I am sure are any of the suits of armour correct for that period.

I just wanted to sit a few fancy knights together... sorry history buffs!

Nope it's all hand painted, all the figures are with some fancy transfers over the top.

Post by: Birdie on August 01, 2011, 15:23:42: Lovely! :o I really like the way king Arthur looks, just as I would imagine him as a clicky.

Does anybody know the Lego-version of the Camelot song from Monty Python and the Holy Grail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjacqcTFYFw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjacqcTFYFw)? I believe a Playmobil version is now possible ;D

Post by: Justindo on February 08, 2012, 06:17:24: This is a magnificent creation, Emma! :wow: :wow: :wow: I've always wondered why Playmobil never released a Knights of the Round Table set, but even if they had yours would put it to shame with its gorgeous detail.

Post by: Giorginetto on February 08, 2012, 08:04:51: I coudlnt agree more. Its shame todays medieval theme is so limited in terms of links to myths and history and so detached from movies etc , a shame really. Playmobil got it so right in 1993/1994 when all these great medieval sets were introduced but since then its been a decline if you ask me in all aspects. Just look at this ctapult / siege machine of dragonland with the cages on each side. God.... :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:
