Its always thanks to Anthony!!!

I saw him yesterday, and liked him then. He has a sort of Arthurian look to him. (maybe its the red and white with dragon.... or the chivalry, of course).

Anthony seems to have a strange resemblance to this fig :D

Anyway, back to the fig. The torso looks very nice, but the helmet kind of outweighs him. I would reccomend giving him a white cape and maybe a shield.

Reminds me of a stormtrooper, although not so long ago and in this galaxy :wink: Never been partial to white minifigs, unless they are like your lady..... Of course we all have our preferences. Artistically pleasing.

Compared to the other knights ive made... this one seems like hes from a sci fi movie. I think it has to do with the white and black contrast. He's not my favorite, but hes growing on me, I just wanted to see what others thought!

My apologies for not chiming in before. I really like your knight, particularly that the helmet is white to match the rest of his armour. A real sharp contrast.

I have 4 Champions with black visors: one red, one blue, one white, and the other is black (so I use a dark grey helmet). Eventually I will get photos onto my brickshelf page.

I think your knight is awesome! I like the use of both black and white colors on this fig.

Do you have a matching shield for him as well? If so, please show a picture of the shield.

I like the shield too. The size of the dragon is just right.

I think the black and white contrast works well, and the detailing on the torso sticker looks neat. Nice work!
