Last figure for the groupbuild, took a while to source this figure as they are almost impossible to get a hold of these days!  Basic basecoat has been airbrushed and I'm thinking about adding a stone floor/wall to bring the colours of the guard out into the foreground. The neck is tilted too forward for my liking so a little Milliput will have to be added before I can continue painting:  |

The figure looks sculpted good, Mate! Lots of details to bring out and lots of basework to do. On a new base that means. The inclueded hunk of junk does definitly not fit.
Didn´t you forget the basecoat the feet? His toes look (when I think they are real, gargl) disgustingly strange (means, they are COOL!). Do they have another colour??

Thanks guys!
@frank..the lovely looking feet were also primed in the same colour as his head, the lighting above the figure/mobile camera makes it look otherwise!
The figure seems to be one of the better offerings from the Knight models range. I have sourced a few single figure kits going for 80USD and a double figure Jedi fight scene for a whooping 150USD.
Definitely not inclined to even touch these figures at such ridiculous prices as the quality of them (except for my figure luckily!) is very poor in detail.
It seems they put more effort into the fancy tin boxes the figures come in!!

Yap, and I have read somewhere, the most part of the boxart was enhanced with photoshop. If this was true, than I feel good to have sold all my Knightmodel stuff. Had most of the figures, but checking the casting and detail quality of some kits (the Luke Skywalker with Yoda on the back and the Leia figure in headhunter outfit) made me think twice. Great licence but dumb work. In most cases (the Hulk of the Marvel licence was cast incredibly bad at my figure).
