giemme Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hi everybody; here's my second figure for the year, and only my second bust ever. It's the beautifully sculpted Templar Knight in Jerusalem, from Young Miniatures. It is obviously inspired to Sir Sean Connery (I have a still of "The name of the rose" in which he has exactly the same expression - used for reference when painting his face), I hope I didn't ruin the sculpt too much with my painting. There's an extensive WIP thread here , for anyone who's interested in. Here are the pics: I'm not entirely happy with those pics, I need to take at least a better one frontally. Comments are more than welcome. Ciao 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfgang Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 My first thought (before reading) was: The templar is Sean Connery, but when did he play a templar?! Fantastic work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 superb work there - Cheers GS, thanks! My first thought (before reading) was: The templar is Sean Connery, but when did he play a templar?! Fantastic work. , he never did, in fact. But the pose is blatantly taken from a "Name of the Rose" shot, while the dress up is very similar to the one he wore in "The wind and the lion" Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Absolut stunning. All these Details. And this damaged wooden shield is perfect. I wish i could paint figures like you! Absolute Perfect. Looks really like Sir Connery. Best regards Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
