1/12th suit of armour

Post by M16Sky »

A friend of mine is building a "haunted house" set with the 1/12th and 1/13th Aurora monster figures, and she'd like a suit of armour in this scale. I've suggested that she could adapt the Airfix "Black Knight" or "Joan Of Arc", if she can track one down, but are there any other kits that might fit the bill?

Just a bit smaller, but some of these might come in handy:

The Imai Knights series are easier to get and usually cheaper than the Airfix ones. MiniArt does a range of figures, including an English, French, Burgundian and German knight. Same scale as the Imai ones, which I think were once issued by Aurora.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.
