Oh, very nice!

Years ago I recreated the musical version - Spamalot, but with not nearly your eye for detail! I don't think I ever finished it.

That's so funny  :lmao: I can see them galloping already...

King Arthur: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
Black Knight: 'Tis but a scratch.
King Arthur: A scratch? Your arm's off.
Black Knight: No it isn't.
King Arthur: What's that, then?
Black Knight: (after a pause) I've had worse.

Great customs!  :)


The sad thing is that in many ways that movie is still more historically accurate than the average medieval videogame or current movie.  :(
It's mostly in sets and costumes though, everything else gets rather silly.

I have always thought so too. Brilliant direction by Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam (who also directed Jabberwocky, another brilliant historical setting, also very silly in places!).

Great customs!  :)9

Further I will only say "Ni" and will add that my favourite colour is blue  ;D

Btw, Playmobil posted some pics from the newest dioramas on display in Zirndorf (this time from their own deco department) in the PCC, one photo showed detail of a cow on a medieval attack-catapult...
... which of course is a wink to Monty Python´s Holy Grail;

Priceless! :clap: :wow:
I love the pile of bones and the vulture!

"Then lobbest thou the Holy Hand-Grenade of Antioch and thine enemies will be slain, for they have been naughty in my sight" Armaments verse 3, chapter 7.

OMG I have got MPQS*, there is no known cure! I thought I was in remission, but it's back!
