Monogram's Black Knight of Nurnberg

[joeym]

Hello Everyone!!

After what I am seeing posted here by others I am kind of ashamed to post these photos. But oh well here goes...

I saw this at my LHS and decided to get it. It was simple to build and fun to paint. I really enjoyed it.

I have not added the gold and silver details yet.

I thought I would post what I have so far. Comments are welcome.

 

[Mr.Max]

So far, so good.
I wonder, is this based off an actual German knight?

Looks good, Joey! Did I see this at Agape? I remember this kit fondly, and I look forward to seeing your progress.

Hi, Max, if I remember correctly, this and the other kits in the line are based on real suits of armor. The line originated with Aurora back in the 60's, and Monogram bought the molds when Aurora went out of business. They've appeared in the catalog from time to time, since Revell and Monogram merged.

I've got Thomas Graham's book on Aurora kits, and I'll check and see about the sources for each subject.
