Title: ALL OF MY KNIGHTS?
Post by: cowabounga on December 03, 2011, 19:13:24: OK. I know at least one of you guys will be happy with this thread. I hope even more of you enjoy it.
I took out some of my boxes, cleared the living room table, and displayed all my knights.

George, this is for you!

Actually, it's not ALL of the knights I ever created, some have been sold and I haven't made doubles yet; some never made it beyond the sketch stage; some still need to be released, the caparison being made, but the matching knight not ready; and I have more projects in my computer...

I made row by row pictures when setting them up and close-ups too.
There are 88 custom knights (and only 86 custom caparisons, can you find the two originals?)
:love:

Post by: Tiermann on December 04, 2011, 00:44:11: Very impressive Arnaud. That would make for a very long tournament. Nice to see them all together
Title: Re: ALL OF MY KNIGHTS?
Post by: playmogal on December 04, 2011, 02:43:21: Arnaud,
Looks like you live in a pretty mean neighborhood with all those armed men on horses lolling around the place.
Does it get scary at night trying to sleep with so many knights in your house? Pgal ;D
Title: Re: ALL OF MY KNIGHTS?
Post by: bonniebeth on December 04, 2011, 04:18:01: Oh, it's great to see them all together, Arnaud! Nice collection of excellent customs!
Title: Re: ALL OF MY KNIGHTS?
Post by: cheng on December 04, 2011, 05:59:19: OMG Arnaud! this is overwhelming :o
..my army of poorly armoured samurais will be mowed down...even arrows and long spears will be of no use...I still have to make a couple of samurais with aquebusiers...but i dont think they have enough time to reload :P

Title: Re: ALL OF MY KNIGHTS?
Post by: Giorginetto on December 04, 2011, 08:04:14: The original caparisons is the cross in the front raw and the blue royal at the left hand side at the front raw , both based on original playmo designs and original playmo klickies used also . correct ?? :sherlock: :sherlock: :sherlock: :sherlock: :sherlock: :sherlock:

Title: Re: ALL OF MY KNIGHTS?
Post by: bennain on December 04, 2011, 10:22:38: Very nice and very individual. :)9
Title: Re: ALL OF MY KNIGHTS?
Post by: cowabounga on December 04, 2011, 10:36:20: Thanks all!
@Pgal: the occasional rattling of swords and yelling when the guys practice is a bit disturbing, but they're a quiet bunch of good fellows most of the time.
@cheng: those caparisons are for apparat, not for war. I think a hundred ashigaru with yaris would be strong enough to make them think twice.
@george: you're almost right. The light blue one is not carrying a caparison at all, but the crusader is actually a custom (the caparison is).
I'll try to post the first close-ups this afternoon.
Arnaud
