This 75mm figure vignette came from Alexandros Models. The vignette kit came with the knight, the castle walls and floor, the furniture pieces, and the books on the shelves. I added small 28 or 32mm sized shields from a 3D printer from Etsy and the area rug from ETA Dioramas.
The castle walls were first to be assembled and glued together they were fixed to the floor base as one piece. Some jiggering had to be done to get the wall to fit snugly. The kit’s mold flashing filled in the window panes; they were hair then and nearly translucent so I thought why not just turn them into the stained glass. I dabbed various colors on the front side of the panes and once dry, gloss coated each pane.
The furniture, books, shields, and wall art above the window were hand painted. The figure’s cape was airbrushed including airbrushing lights and shadows. I cut out a template for the red cross on the cape and airbrushed that on as well.
The white on the figure was base coated with white then lights and shadows were applied by brush. The knight’s head was base coated with a custom AK lacquer mix and then highlights and tones were done with Abteilung flesh colors set of oil paints
Tom S and his brother in law created the custom wooden base, which came out nicely. I had to lightly sand down one side of the base to make it fit within the base. All in all, a fun project that went together without much fuss! Hope you enjoy.
