Knights armour


I built a little odd plastic kit, it's the Armoured Knight Series #1. Kurfürst Friedrich I in 1/12 scale from Imai..
(Model finished 2013)




I didn't like the head. It looked like something from a Japanese comic magazine, so I didn't use it or the hands. Instead it became a museum type of display. I also removed about 1/3 of the height of the base to make it lower.




I painted it with Alclad chrome. This should go on a black enamel base for a chrome effect but that was not my wish. I had earlier made the mistake to use Tamiya acrylic as a base and then got a metal look so that is what I tried on this kit. The result was better than I had hoped for.
