Unfortunately, his clothes haven't arrived from Singapore yet, but when should that ever stop a young chap?

Something for the weekend my liege?

Well, after a while, all the bits and bobs arrived by mail.

I bought some 2nd hand Ignite "Walter von Geroldseck (The Bishop of Strasbourg)" clothes and after airing them for a few days and then fumigating them with burning frankincense (they smelt damp, and why not add to the realism?), they were ready to go on. A tight fit, and I had to remove the chaps head and hands to get them on.

The hands are from my old DID Private Williams figure, and are much better at holding the sword.

The sword and belt are from Ignite, the shield is Dragon, and the helmet is another Ignite Geroldseck offering, with the plastic top taken off it.. There is a hole in the top of the helmet to fill in as a result of this, which shouldn't be a big deal, and I think I'll respray it..

I think he looks cracking, and I'm debating as to whether to leave him as is, or continue with converting him to the Templar knight (which will involve re-tailoring the Ignite surcoat, making a cloak and respraying the shield).

The latest update...

I tried bleaching the green out of the Ignite von Geroldseck surcoat, but no joy.

So, I bought some nice cotton material to make a cloak and surcoat, thinking I could make it myself, but then gave in and took the cloth to an Indian tailor to knock up.

I'll start work on the respray of the shield and helmet later this week.

That's all for the mo.
