I proudly present to you all my latest Castle custom minifig:

Hospitaller Knight with custom Horse Barding and Pennant

Pics = Larger Pics

All of the White croses have been hand painted onto the black fabric. The surcoat, belt, horse barding and pennant are all removable.

As always, thoughts and comments welcome.

Ah Mark, you are a natural at these Castle Customs.

He looks splendid! The fabric elements are fantastic, as always, and look very nice in black.

..and great use of the new brown horse, much more fitting than the old style on this guy.

Any more Castle Customs in the works/planned?

Thanks for the kind words Lamanda

I only had 3 horses to choose from (White, Black and Reddish Brown), so I obviously decided on the Reddish Brown so it added a bit of variation to the set.

As for more works.......so far I have atleast 1 more up my sleeve, but you'll all just have to wait

Cheers,

That looks really good! Top-notch work with the fabric there.

Shouldn't the tunic and flag be red though? (I only heard they had black cloaks.. but I might be wrong)

I have seen them in both red and white. I felt white looks alot better.

I take it you mean black there..? Since that is what you used... but yes, I agree, it does look better.

I actually meant I have seen them with Red crosses on a black tunic/flag as well as with White croses on a black tunic/flag.

Awesome work!!

A minor remark:
I would bent the flag a few times so that it looks a bit more natural.
A real flag will never be that flat.

Very nice work, I still think the horsebarding is a bit too straight, the end could be cut a bit more wavingly if that makes sense (I already know it's not a word)

...Maybe it's a new flag?

I like him, the fabric elements are well done.
