The following figures were a stretch goal from the Dwarves at Arms kickstarter from Microcosm. The knights were a bit fiddly to put together, with separate heads, legs, arms, and shields. For added strength/stability I pinned a lot of the pieces, which made it even more fiddly.
First up, King Arthur, the killer bunny (with nasty pointy teeth), and the Black Knight (I did consider adding magnets to make the limbs removable, but see comments above about "fiddliness").
Of course, King Arthur needs his trusted Knights of the Round Table.
Sounds of sawing and hammering and construction off in the distance behind the trees...
I built the rabbit out of foamcore, clad with bamboo skewers, round wood craft pieces, parchment paper covering the head of foamcore, and cardboard ears. The wheels actually turn, although they are a bit wonky.
Lovely work once more!The rabbit is an excellent creation,well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I didn't try to make it a perfect replication of the one in the movie. Just went for something simple and "close enough".
DeleteNo pages with coconuts? No watery tarts? Ah well,
ReplyDeleteExcellent my good sir!
Thanks!
DeleteThese were the only MP figures they had. I would love it if they would make more - the French taunters, the 3-headed knight, Tim the enchanter, the witch, the maidens from the Castle Anthrax, the whole wedding party from Swamp Castle, Sir Robin's minstrels, the clerics with the Holy Hand Grenade, etc., etc.
As the young people say, "Awesome"
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThey were fun to do, and fun to research paint schemes and such. :D
Brave brave Sir Robin he ran away, but who could blame him with those dam knight's going around saying nit all the time nit nit nit, great bit of work Fitz :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI don't know if I will ever use them for any games, but they were fun to paint.
These are a joy to behold! Fabulous fun and great job. I love the scratch built siege rabbit too, brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI am always blown away by your amazing pieces, both commercial minis and scratch-built figures and scenes!
Lovely work on your knights,killer bunny and of course the excellent scratch built siege rabbit!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you!
DeleteI wish they had made more miniatures in this vein. I wonder if I can convert a few things though...
