| (...) Hi, Thanks for posting this up. Great taste! And a thanks to JoJo for going to all that hard work to show just how usable those knights can be if you really put some effort in : ) I still think I'll use them for space : ) God Bless, Nathan (20 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.minifigs)

| (...) !My sentiments exactly...it's crazy how a simple dry-brushing of metallic silver over a black undercoat can create such dramatic realism... I pray...seriously pray that Bruce shows more of this type of conversion... Especially with the (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.minifigs)

Here’s my attempt at some realism in armor…with some paint-fading technique. (Please (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.minifigs, FTX)
