Landsknecht Soldier - Inbox
The mini:
(c) Pegaso Models
Name: Landsknecht Soldier
Manufacturer: Pegaso Models
Product code: 90-052
Category: Europe XVI Cen.
Sculptor: Andrea Jula
Material: White metal
Scale: 1:20 (90mm)
The box:
In the box:
Quality of the cast:
Cast seems to be very clean and crisp. Beautiful details and design, quite reasonable parts and few delicate mould lines. As far as I can see, there is only one unnecessary small chunk of metal, on the outside of his left leg close to the knee, but it should be easy to remove/cover with the ribbon.
Assembly:
Looks to be pretty straightforward. Few small and delicate parts may require some subtleness, but with a bit of care it should be fine.

Pegasus Project - Viking finally assembled!
As you can see I managed to glue the bad boy together. Finally:D
The only thing still missing are wings, but I'm not convinced if I should use them in the first place.
I kinda like the feel they give to the miniature, but on the other hand they're not particularly historically correct, so.... I'm not sure what to do;p
The photos are quite crappy and done with camera flash, but as a simple proof, that I glued him together, they should do;]
Hopefully soon I should be able to show you some more progress on the cloak.

A bit more skin
Another quick update.
Some more work on Umruth's and Viking's skin is done.
I also managed to paint metal parts on Urmuth. I was hoping that they're done, but I need to work a bit more on the contrast and some colour niuances, judging by the photos in a day light.

Gurka Le Rouge
Well, I must say it was absolutely love from the first sight. And I wasn't disappointed when I opened the box.
Bust is really nicely sculpted, the cast has few small flaws, but nothing major. I'm probably gonna do a proper review later, but for now I can show you first pictures;]
He's huge, isn't he??:>
I have no idea what's the scale here, but he's clearly bigger than the viking (1:20). He's 105mm from the bottom to the top of his hat (70mm to the top of his head).

Templar nominated;]
My Templar is nominated for the WAMP Awards 2012, as one of 5 miniatures in Best Painted Historical.
Full list of nominations in all categories you can find on this shortlist, and if you feel like voting for any of the categories check Wamp Award Voting.
I doubt (judging by the competition in this category) it will go any further than this, but I'm happy anyway. And I do feel appreciated here, so thanks for anyone who decided that he's worth it:D
And good luck for everyone taking part in the competition.

Quality of the cast:
No complains here. Some delicate mould lines but nothing too bad.
Assembly:
Looks to be pretty straightforward. As far as I can judge by the look of the parts there are no tricky moments. But of course if I'll find something while preparing a mini for painting I'll let you know.

Templar Knight - inbox
Just to finish off with the Templar Knight, little review:
Not much to say, really. Let's let the pictures speak for themselves.
And if you want to read a bit more about the company and my opinion of it, check the more indepth review I did on Viking Chief a while back.
The Mini:
Name: Templar Knight XII c.
Manufacturer: Pegaso Models
Product code: 90-053
Category: Crusaders
Sculptor: Andrea Jula
Material: White metal
Scale: 1:20 (90mm)
The box:
In the box:
Quality of the cast:
Great as always. And even there are some delicate mold lines, especially on the cloak, they're easy to get rid of. Just check every part carefully and everything should be ok:D
Assembly:
Again 21 parts, like with Viking, but this time it's seriously tricky. The miniature is very complex and in such a dynamic pose, so you need to plan very carefully which parts you're gonna glue together at the beginning and which later. From my experience I may say there is no one and easy answer.
I glued the body (torso, legs, collar and head), painted it more or less and then added lower part of the tunic painted (again more or less) inside. And added cloak (glued together) later. Arms and shield were added closer to the end.
Very important part is attaching the cloak. Because Templar stands on the stairs, and because the end the cloak basically lays on the steps, it's crucial that you glue it exactly how it supposed to be. Even slight mistake, a bit thicker layer of glue or maybe different angle can cause a huge problems. I didn't check if it fits right after attaching cloak, when the glue was still a bit wet and easier to remove, and ended up with a fully painted miniature that needed to be filed almost to the bone. I had to remove one fold of the cloak to make it fit into the steps. And trust me it's not something you'd like to experience:D You can read about it a bit more here.
