inspired by
this I played a little bit with a styrene sheet and a knight.
This is the result.
Now the knight can store his sword.

Looks pretty good, from what I can see. Do you think you could take another picture of it, from the side, and maybe one of it off the minifig?

Good job! It's good to see what other people can come up with.
Can your Knight ride his horse while wearing this piece? Example -

Woa i see ur post got Jeff out of his hidings, a colossal feat.
More pictures from different view please, and I assume you have a left handed knight there?

Hmm, pretty good. It
could use a little refining though. I'm not one to customize official parts (so I don't like the red on the helmet); but I might be able to make something like this from some of my dad's polystyrene that he used to make the prototype Superplexus*, which he invented. Good job, on both making the custom, and giving me a chance to rant.

*I've been waiting for a chance to mention this.
Anybody ever seen (or bought) one? It was manufactured by Hasbro. PM me.

Hehe, I have a foal.
Nice work! You did well. I like how you can see the tip of the sword through the bottom, unique and different from the standard rounded one that covers all of it except the handle.

Ah... the other pics offer a few better perspectives... very good - looks like it took a bit of work/carving, but the finished product is not to shabby. I'm not sure if the tip coming through the other end is realistic or not, but it's kind of interesting, I like it.

Very good - fits while on the horse! Thanks for the pics.
Side note on scabbards - I'm realizing that cloth ones(Lego material)work a lot better overall. Of course you have to figure a good way of mounting it to the fig, IF you're not going to go all out and make a belt for it. Personally, I like making the belts too...so it's no big deal to me.
With plastic, you're really locked into a fixed position - unless you have one of my scabbard sets, or make something similar.
Either way - if it works, go with it!

Thats really sweet but how did you make it?

Nicely done. I have used a string tied around the leg pegs for 20+ years myself. Low tech, but it works.
Jeff stop teasing me with your dad-burn glamour shots! Give, Give, GIVE! (the people responsible for the preceding note have been sacked).
Well done again sir.
