Already made the promise to take more pics from various angles in a FB group...will try to keep in mind to post them here, too
Until then:
Another Knight was FINALLY completed (in 2014, I finished 12 Knights in 8 month, in 2015 6 Knights in 12 month, and 2016 did not see one single 100% complete Knight. 2017 at least the Black Knight (which did not even take half an afternoon), and 2018 FINALLY another one. Will try to complete one Knight each month in 2018.

Good lord! Amazing stuff.
Having made so many knights, what tips would you give on construction for those of us just setting out on our own households?

You mean conversions or the regular ones?
Regarding regular ones: Knights are acutally rather easy models, I just recommend magnetisation as the efficiency of various loadout varies from edition to edition.
The FW Knights have big contact areas : If you feel better, you can pin them. But even my Porphyrions are just glued, and they are rock solid. In a fall, they would probably break everywhere, just not the contact area.
Regarding conversions : A few of them were already done by others (Cherno, Battletech Knight), which I copied as I wanted my own models with that look. Sometimes a few idea are given by others (some guy already used the airshop harpoon tower as diving suit mask, the rest of the steampunkification was invented by me). My own creations (Samurai, Breacher) : Hm...I saw the LoS torso and found out it would look actually rather clean and loyal with the Chaos symbols sanded off. It started as ordinary, western styled Knight, but during the construction process, I found out the Samurai style looks better. That might be a piece of advice: Do not rush it. If you have no idea how to go on, do not rush it by gluing the next available bit to the model. Leave the model lying around, till the proper idea jumps in your face. Breacher Knights: Various information in my head just combined themselves : There were Knights with shields, I figured out that the reactor cover had a "view-hole". Double barelled Knight weapons (or ranged weapon with bajonet) were already done by others, I thought of putting two weapons in one arm instead of a double-arm-hold weapon. And FW had Breacher Marines with the unusual combination Shield & Gun (it's usually Shield & CC or CC & Ranged). Various details have already been thought of by others, I combined those idea into a new product.
