My Knight project

[Az Alderson]

hey all
latest updates on this project so far: added right arm, base coated it (still fully moveable) magnetized all three face plates and base coated them, done the railings on the torso armour and added some heraldric detail to the leg armour.....still plenty to do yet so keep watching and as always comments/views welcome

I really like the heraldry you've made for your Knight. Does it have a real world inspiration?

[Az Alderson]

lol actually yes it does, its my family crest - the character im doing will be from a house based around my family lineage. I thought it would be something unique and different from the pre established houses, plus a chance to creat a bit of a unique story to go with it. I may well expand out from the knight and noble to include some other units from his homeworld, or the supporting units (maintenance/ militia etc) alongside the knight. The story (in some form lol) will be presented when I upload the finished article on here. Also the heraldry on the leg armour represents the white dragon of st edmund (left leg, red + white emblem) and the knights templar (right leg, red cross + black and white background) these a representations of my cultural history that i thought would fit well with my families crest and colours

hey all
sorry for the delay in updates been a bit busy these past few days lol right ive been working on the right arm with both weapon options. to do this ive used button magnets and magnetic tape as you can (hopefully) see in the pics...ive base coloured these ready for their next coats and washes etc. Ill post some more pics when ive got the arm attached to the body.

hey all
made some more progress with the knight, finishing up the main painting ready for detail and washes, plus laying the groundwork for the display, so here we go: added heraldry detail to top canopy to match shield tidied up leg armour, laid out seperatee parts for display base, glued basics on, checked to makesure it all fits ready for painting etc, added left arm and checked both weapon options, and added other details ie 'A' on top back canopy, started detailing ccw, begun washes on back. Hope you like so far, keep watching, love to hear your views

It looks nice.
Have you think about ad some battle damage or dirt to the knight? I think it looks as in his very fisrt day on the battlefield.

Hey all
well, pretty much done bar a few details (dust/weathering etc) but for your pleasure i would like to present my knight: 'Valiant' of the House of Aldor, with his pilot, 'Kaleb Aldor', noble, merchant and mercenary, shown having made camp for the night, thus the scenes title 'A Knight under the stars'. Ive tried to show various shots of the whole thing (excuse my camera work) and for those wondering where i got the pilot figure, i chose him after trawwlliinnggg for the right one and its from the 'Infinity' range (contraversy i know). I hope you like it, its my first big kit and diorama for about a year or so, any questions feel free to ask
thanks, Az.
