Minifigs Knight Hospitaller

one of those old Minifigs knights, dehorned, re-lanced and repainted. I wasn't too precious about the freehand- I think a certain quickness about the whole thing is better when painting in this simple style, or you risk it looking overcooked. Or perhaps i'm overthinking it, as is my wont! I have to say I think this horse is one of the finest sculpts I can think of - I love it!

    Got to comment again! The Minifigs horses ARE great aren't they? So easy to paint heraldry on that obligingly flat caparison.

      Yes indeed! Some of these (or something similar from the range) may make an appearance in my LOTR forces as swan knights of Dol Amroth (the winged Teutonic helms might fit the bill). These minis are just so beautifully simple and solid. They're among the few that my wife will happily tolerate as ornaments!
