    I like it! I especially like the yellow background. Gives a desert / Holy land feel. Very effective!

    Costas,

    Sorry I was not clear: I own the movie Kingdom of Heaven on DVD, and I have also been thinking about the seige scene when the wall finally comes down and Saladin's men meet the defenders at the top of the Christopher's gate breach. What a powerful scene--When they showed that scene in the movie, particularly from above, I thought how wonderful it would be to recreate the gate in 1/35 scale, using a mixture of figures. It would be a huge undertaking, and since I am fairly new at figure modeling (just a year), I don't know if I am ready to tackle it.

    I would love to hear more of what you are thinking. I can learn from your brilliant skills!

    Cheers,

    Kyle

    Thanks a lot guys for your comments .

    @ Kyle, what you mention is nearly my idea for the big project i am working on, but there are not as many Sarecen - Muslims figure in theposes i need them to make the surrendering scene, so i thought of making a scene of the crusaders expecting the enemy before the final battle. As soon as i have it all detailed planned i will tell you more .

    @Jose Luis.My friend i am also an AEK fun even more fanatic than the doctor !!!!

    @Kenneth. My friend i am on the planning stage so far for the big one

    Costas,

    I can't wait to see how your Christopher Gate scene develops. Should be fun to see your rendition!

    You will do a masterful job of it.

    Costas,

    When you have the plans drawn up, would you mind doing an SBS for us on the planning process for doing such a scene? I, for one, would love to see how you approach that process. I really enjoy the groundwork and base work of miniatures, and your scenes are fantastic.

    Cheers,

    Kyle

    Thanks a lot guys for your compliments . George printers inks come in 4-5 different colors , and they are in a paste form, thick enough, and can be dilluted by white spirite like oil paints. they also can mix with aoil paints, and you can produce a big range of metallics , in the family of golds or white metals . you also can use them as a highlight color as they have much brightness and richness


    Kyle i woill be making an sbs like what youre talking about. I just need to reach at the schedule line for this project ..........
