A while back I was given these splendid knights by R and a model elephant too. Here is a photo of them as they arrived in the box and photos after I have worked on them. Weapons were replaced and two handed swords given to the foot knights with plumes by means of plastic sheet. After painting they were all given a good gloss varnish and are now ready to fight once more. P.S the wee elephant is fine and will appear later in another project.
Fine restorations ...
ReplyDeleteThanks, l think they have turned out well
DeleteAlan, you just have to love these castings, the whole idea of real feathers was magical, and it should have caught on! Its right they should be back on the table with restored colours.

The plumes are great. It is good to return figures to the game.
DeleteLove the real feathered plumes .
ReplyDeleteA great idea of the manufacturer.
DeleteVery well done indeed, Alan. Fantastic job! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the elephant.

Thanks Ronnie!
DeleteExcellent restorations Alan, well done! The figures with plumes look to be Timpo figures. They originally came with movable visors which was quite an innovation at the time!
ReplyDeleteThe moveable visors must have been a treat to see.
DeleteAh, that takes me back! Great restoration job. Love the plumes.
ReplyDeletePlumes are a terrific idea.
DeleteWell done! They look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ross.
DeleteThey look good! I think I begin to understand why it became polite to remove one's hat indoors 😄
ReplyDeleteVery true 😀
DeleteThey look beautiful, especially with the feathers.
