Helmeted Black Hospitaller :)

Ray on Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:04 pm

This is my HALF Hospitaller in question re this Group Build

The figure will be as designed by the manufacturer with the addition/replacement of a doublehanded battle axe, copied from the 54mm Ifrir which Ivan & also William painted some while ago
Due to this, the wrist had to be cut & twisted a couple of degrees to the left, so that it better accomodated the new thicker leather bound axe handle, to fit in the gauntlet

Also added a moustache so that if any glimpses of that area would be caught thru the thinning & perforating of the great helm visor, a Hospitaller (shave forbidding) would be seen

Added the Saracen helmet which was ready from this dude's Brother thread & also a Saracen sheild which originated as a single female plate earing which I found discarded in a drawer at work & which I carefully removed to "safely dispose of"
I added an MS & Duro lining to increase the area as it will be depicted as shown, face up

As promised in August...at least this August past

Face ready

In the last pic, INVREDIBLE but TRUE, the visor (which is temporarily fixed to the great helm which is also temporarily fixed to the head) came off while the pic was being snapped

El Manolo, it depends how it looks to you?

In scale modelling, everything depends on perspective..what does our naked eyes perceive?

If something "LOOKS" wrong or odd, than the message is lost...one has to "recognise" without asking questions, because questions mean that the message of the finished model is lost, whatever the model might be, figure, ship, aircraft, car, AFV...

So, coming to the battle axe in question, if it is (painted in this example as it is fabricated from plastic) looking polished enough on the cutting edge, than it looks & "is sharp"

If on the other hand it has a dull cutting edge, than it is being represented as blunt & "is blunt"

As I said, this applies to ALL genres of scale modelling

I'm sure you asked jokingly, I just wanted to send a message to whoever does not or rather don't want to understand, that execution (construction, painting & final setting place) of a scale model are ALL equal terms & one can't have one without the others for as much as authenticity as one can "pack" into a scale model

God Wills It
