Those look fantastic! Good job. I especially like the last one.

Amazing work again Arnaud!!  I like how you use both a black and white split skirt for the B/W quartered one.

The last one is also great with both the black and yellow klicky option. Would love to nake an army of those :-)

I would have put different decals on the horse head cover though...this don't fit the rest IMO.

For some reason I put my saddles the other way around...is this the proper way?

Now you have me thinking about making more customs :-)

Incredible!!! :wow: :wow: :wow:
I especially love your 3rd knight,
The "Dark Lion Knight!" :o
Superb job on all of them though.

Cheers,
Arnaud

I think to make him even better,
making only have of his lower surcoat (the leg section) black would be really neat. :D

What an incredible variety of my favourite theme! 

I have a few questions - I didn't see them asked/answered in the thread, but I apologise if I missed them. 

Where do you get all your knights from? 

Do you use a thinner to clean any preprinted designs off them?  Or do you only use bodies that have no printing already on them?  Or just put the decals over existing designs?

And now for the one the question I am sure I am not the only one interested in - Can you show us some pictures of ALL your knights together?

Hey.
Thanks.
To be honest, I didn't make the crest and shield for the black and white knight. I bought them in Wolfsburg, the seller agreed to sell me four torsos and four shield stickers. The torso is actually printed upon, it's a different technique from mine and you need to order at least a hundred pieces to make it worth the price... :-\

@Wesley Myers: I buy the figures on eBay, or from the DS. I cannot put the transfers directly on an already printed surface, so I use either plain color parts, or I remove the older paint (sharp curved blade and sandpaper).
I can't show you all my knights together because: 1-I sold a lot, 2-I don't have enough room to display them all in my house.  ;D
Cheers,
Arnaud
