Glossy Restoration

 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.

  1. Alan, 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.

    1. The plumes are great. It is good to return figures to the game.

  3. Excellent 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!

    1. The moveable visors must have been a treat to see.

  5. They look good! I think I begin to understand why it became polite to remove one's hat indoors 😄
