Richard the LionHeart Custom

He was my very first custom,
made before I knew you could swap legs and torsos and such.
I hope you like him!

From the other side...

A veiw of the painting...

Sorry this one is a little blurry because I was holding him freehand
but I wanted to make sure everyone saw how I continued the red down to his legs:

The final shot...


And that is all!
I hope you enjoyed my custom and I can't wait to hear your replies.

The heraldry on the horse's caparison and the shield is my favorite of all the ones Playmobil have produced. I think it's the most true to life, miles better than most recent Playmobil efforts and very regal, and I'm also using it for my King and his personal bodyguard and army.

Your Richard figure is interesting, I've never seen this reversed cross design before, how did you come up with it? I've seen pictures of RtL in his crusader getup (red cross on white background) but not this form of cross.

I origanaly was just going to have it as a red side and a white side...
But after I had that painted I thought he needed a cross to go with it.
I came up with the idea on my own.
It is my favorite heraldry too!
Not completely realistic... But it is deffinatly better then the newer ones Playmobil produces.

Hi

Great looking custom you painted and put together. I do say though he needs some better head protection. That gold crown might woo the ladies with its image of power but it will do little to keep his head on in battle.

I too find that heraldry to be one of the favorites around here as well.

Excellent custom -  :wow: :wow:.  I, too, like the heraldry with the figure and your custom surcoat.  Nicely done!

Playmobil haven't done a helmet you can wear a crown on top of yet, but that's how it was done in RtL's day.

That is a great custom - did you say it was your first?  Looking forward to seeing your helmet with crown.
