1/8 Aurora "Gold Knight of Nice"

November 5, 2022 · in Figures · · 10 · 1.4K

Completed in 2013. This is the 2011 Monogram reissue of 's "Gold Knight of Nice," first released in 1959. I added the base. The armor is hand brushed with a 50/50 mix of Testors Metallic Gold and Metallic Copper, and the whole model is finished with three hand-brushed coats of Pledge floor finish. I'm currently working on completing all five of the Aurora knights. The Gold and Blue knights are done, and the Black Knight is on the bench.
