Love those knights!
Wish I could do that - would love to create my own knights.

But where did you get his spear ?


That's exactly what I am looking for for my heavy guard.

Nope.
Wrong guess Panos! It's a long spear, not the short one from the Mongol warrior. It's from set 4840, http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-20-3182
Check the grip, it's much wider than on the short spear.
Best,

I´m afraid you´ve got the wrong one, Arnaud.
It´s not the spear from the Egg-mongol, but the spear from the special Mongol; 4745


Just compare the end of the shaft. The Mongol's spear tapers out on the end, while yours has more of a stump.
Also the spearhead is different. Yours has two stubs on either side of the shaft (near the spearhead) so that the tassles stay up. The Mongol's spear hasn't -it's a straight line.
It's definitly the Mongol's spear.

The one without a partnumber ...

darn!

 :hmm:
I think those are the same, then. So where did I get the short ones from? Or am I completely mistaken and there a no short Silver spears? Gotta check this at home ( at the restaurant having the best pizza in Paris, right now!)
Best,
Arnaud

Hey guys!
I'm on holiday with wifey and the kids, but I took a few pics before I left! I have a poor internet connection since I'm using my iPhone as a 3G modem for my computer (still better than no internet at all!) :(
So here's the first figure. He's from Kingdom of Heaven again, I forgot his name but on screen he's played by Jeremy Irons.





Then, this horse coat existed already but not for the second generation horses, so I made one:





Then again. I never liked the Green Dragon knights. Something was wrong with them from the beginning, maybe these awful turquoise boots, maybe the moustache. I don't know...
But, that one with the red shield and caparisoned horse was beautiful. So were the golden accessories in the princess castle's treasure chamber. So I sort of mixed this and that and made two new caparisons for these ugly knights. And customised the rider himself too, of course...couldn't help!

There you go:

Silver version:





Black version:





I have made a whole bunch of new designs, but I can't print them for the moment, so you'll have to wait.
Best,
Arnaud

PS: sorry for the small size of the pictures. I can't upload bigger files, it would take hours!
