Hi everybody,

Here are some pics of a 1/16 Verlinden I 've made 2 years ago. I've changed the original head for a Tamiya one and I've scult the chain mail and helmet with white putty.
As usual, critics are welcome

Terrific stuff. Love the armour and the face is unbelievably lifelike.

I like the work you have done on the chainmail,nicely painted

Thanks a lot boys.
I agree with you JasonB, a face shouting would have been better... showing the intensity of fight at Azincourt battle! but as I said before... I'm very very very............lazy !!!!!!
Cheers

I don´t know how was the original, but your conversion is really fine. Superb painting work too. I love the heraldry, face, mud and blood. very nice presentation.

Military miniatures painted by Eduardo Garcia

great work on this noble knight.

I don't know this Verlinden kit but I love what you have done with it . The face is one of the best I have seen for a long time and you have handled the chain mail really well . So was the Tamiya head from another kit or are Tamiya selling separate heads now .

Excellent work on this and agree with the others superb face

Lovely brushwork Francky, especially on the face.

Thanks a lot guys.

To Chippy: the head is from an 1/16 tamiya plastic kit. I don't remenber the exatc référence but it's a german soldier wearing a winter suit and a sturm 44 gun. For the chainmail, it is a long but easy work: I use a white putty (miliput) that I cover all around the head exept the face and while it's still soft, I use a syringe needle to print the chain! When you do that, you have to be concentrated because you have to be régular in the print......and you have to be................cool, very cool

For the painting, it's acrilic for the face, enamel métal cote from Humbrol for the armor and oil for the rest
Cheers

Excellent work Francky! Really well done on the conversion. The mail looks very professional.
Painting is very precise too. Love the metals and face change, mouth open or closed.

Just to add one nit and peeve.....My peeve is with figures pointing without raising the shoulder. If we make a pointing gesture like this, it raises the shoulder considerably. Not sure if this was part of your conversion though.
Anyway, great figure and painting nevertheless!

Cheers

Hi Adrian,
Shoulders are not part of my conversion, however, this knight don't wear some shoulders armor but only arms armor. ( he probably worn shoulder armors in réality!!)
But I agree with you, I should have incresased a little bit the right on left shoulders... well seen Adrian
Cheers

Maybe the next is Charles D'albret

Hi Marquismini,

I'll probably show you in a next post that I've made the same figure but painted in a another version.... It's Sir Edmond de Torpe ( who killed Guillaume de Martel in Azincourt battle!!)

Yes, he did kill Martel.
there are a lot of interesting characters form crecy, Poitiers and Azincourt to paint.
Looking forward to see your work.
Best regards
