Title: Order of the Knights of the Lion
Post by: WarriorOfToys on August 29, 2011, 23:18:53

My own made up chivalric order, the order is renamed The Baltic Knights of the Lion in 1237. :)
(This has to do with Rutileo's history in correspondence to the real world, which I wont get into.)
This is their first headmaster, Lawrence Ban. (The order nicknamed him Lo.)

I hope you like him.
I made the shield myself with some new paper I found,
It is stiffer then construction paper, but not as hard as cardboard.
It also has a little shine to it so it fits perfectly with Playmobil.
I need to find a new type of glue to use for it,
But for now, I am happy with how it turned out. (And I hope you are too.) :)

So here he is.

Thanks Bonnie,
Hopefully one day I will be able to make the rest of the order,
But for now I will just have to wait, contented with Lo here. :)

Me likes!
I love knights in robes!  :love: Though of course, historically, those were't robes and were sorter than this (more like very long shirts).
Love the coat of arms too. It's always a challenge to choose which of the two designs will be on the figure, isn't it?
Best,
Arnaud

Actually, It very well depended on the time.
During the high Middle Ages (1000-1300 roughly) they wore very long skirts.
Also, surcoats began to become a style used for civilian life, as opposed to use in war.
