Title: Crusader King
Post by: WarriorOfToys on October 13, 2011, 16:43:22

Hi guys! :wave:
I made a Crusader King custom. :knight:
I am quite happy with how he turned out, especially of the picture I made with him. :)
So without further-ado, here he is. :hatoff:
I hope you like him. :wave:

Thanks guys! :)
I plan to use this background for all my Crusader Pictures... :)9
I have a few other Crusaders, but not too many.

Here is a link to the picture I got the castle from...
http://www.europeupclose.com/article/belgiums-medieval-city-of-ghent/
I chose it because it looked about right for the time period (12th century),
(I was quite wrong... :P)
and because it was at the right angle. :)

Cool King Crusader!  8-)

The backgroud reminds me a bit of Monty Python's animations, and the castle looks indeed very familiar!  ;)

I really like the way you attach the pennant to the spear - I sometimes do that too (I don't remember where I saw it first, though). It's a pity the two don't hold together without glue, though. The combo looks much, much better than anything playmobil ever came up with (the new style flag/standard poles with the round thing at the end are even worse than the classic ones, too).

I agree, I do not like the Playmobil lances.
They are never pointy... how will they kill my enemy klickies? :P ;)
