1/8 Aurora "Blue Knight of Milan"
Completed in 2022. This is a bagged kit of the Blue Knight, first released in 1957. The nameplate on the base said "Sir Galahad," so it was part of the 1967 "Camelot" reissues. Fortunately, I was able to get a pre-1967 base from an eBay seller in France - one with a nameplate that says "Milan 1520" (so it will fit in with the other Aurora Knights I'm making). Most of the armor color is the metallic blue the kit was molded in. The dark metallic blue and light metallic blue of the armor's decoration are custom mixes of Army Painter acrylics. The model was finished with three hand-brushed coats of Pledge floor finish.
A really nice figure, Tom!
Thanks Spiros!
Turned out very well.
Thanks George!
Good looking knight, Tom @tomhering
Your custom mixed colors do look superb.
Thanks John!
You've gone and pulled another subject from the deep past. Nice job!
Thanks Robert! Pop culture subjects of the 1950s and '60s are my favorite. The stuff I grew up with. And I enjoy making vintage kits. (For more examples, you can view the models I made from 2003 to 2019 here: https://culttvman.com/main/tag/tom-hering/ )
Very cool, Tom (@tomhering). I remember building this kit a long time ago, but yours is significantly better than mine turned out. Well done.
Thanks George!
Really outstanding paintwork on this.
Thanks Tom!
