Nice!  Have you thought about using a gold leaf product available in hobby stores to make the plastic gold look like real gold?

Hi folks!
I've added two more Knights:
First is the count of Flanders, he's still waiting for his shield and the lion crest will be painted black eventually.







Then we have the King of Castille:







And finally, a more complete version of the Duke of Brabant, with full body outfit:



That's it for tonight!

Awesome, as always, mate!

But I do have a question - from what exactly do you take your inspiration for these knights? Are your knights some of those who were part of the actual Order of the Golden Fleece?

Hi!
Yes, those are historical, at least I'm doing my best so that they look like in this book: http://expositions.bnf.fr/livres/armorial/

I do make some little arrangements like using designs I already have when needed, etc...
Check the link, it's awesome!
Best,
Arnaud
