Hello all, here is my latest completed model. It is a 54mm White metal model of a Norman Knight of Antioch in 1268. It is from Elite Miniatures and is sculpted by Raul Lattorre. I built it OOB and painted it with my usual acrylics, for the chain mail I used dark and light greys and dry brushed on Vallejo Gloss varnish to give a dark metalic effect, I then used a tiny ammount of Vallejo silver to accentuate some hilgh points. The figure was a joy to paint and right outside my usual range. I hope you enjoy and thanks for popping by. Dennis    |

I respect just about anybody who can paint figures because to me it's just an art of its own. Spectacular work!!!  |

Hi Dennis!
Great to see another fine project you've done. Despite its age, I still appreciate this figurine, look, for example, what an impressive face to which you've done justice!
I like your heraldry choice, big like for how you treat the scenery.
Everything is very well done and suggesting the atmosphere!
BRAVO!
Nicolae

Thank you to all who commented your encouragement is very much appreciated. You are right Nicolea despite being an older figure this has stood the test of time really well, I have one more Elite figure in my stash to complete.
I would like to thank all those who gave this model a like that too is appreciated. I am off on another project i will post as soon as he is finished.
Thank you.
Dennis

Thanks everyone I appreciate your kind remarks. Capfue the base is not part of the kit, I made it out of MDF and Super Sculpy, when all base painting and drilling was completed I veneered the base. Steve the blue on this figure if my memory's to be believed is from the Andrea Blue Set.
