Teutonic Knight
By Pablo Roig
I got this 54 mm figure when I subscribed to Figure International.
All the pieces assemble extremely well, even when sandpapering them. I had used very little Miliput.
I liked painting this figure very much, this is one of the easiest figures I have painted, except for the white color. I take off the horns and replace them with a little flag. I would like to thank Augie Rodriguez for all the help and information he has given me.

METALS
For the metals, I have used Humbrol 53 + Black

Humbrol enamel was use for all metals.
BANNER AND TERRAIN
I simple cut a piece of tin foil and painted it with the same color scheme of the clouthing. All this information thanks to Augie and MedRen.
For the terrain, I used Das Pronto putty. Once I modeled the shape of the terrain, I added a coat of diluted white glue adding some pebbles to it; as soon as it got dried I added some Humbrol’s enemals.
For the herbs, I use some seaweed and some little flowers from my friend Juan Mora, I got the flowers when I visited Alicante.
I World like to dedicate this figure to my friend Augie Rodríguez, Juan Mora and Daniel Serrano, they all know why.
Writing is not one of my best talents, if you want to know something more you all know where to find me.
