Just finished Green Lantern from Knight Models, fantastic sculpt and a joy to paint



Any C&C is appreciated!

Looking good!

Cheers

Very nice, I love how you've extended the green glow to the base.

In brightest day, in blackest night, I wasn't going to buy anymore Knight Models, but now I just might.

Haha I've found their castings have been perfect recently. minimal mold lines and this one went together like a dream. I'm a sucker for my superheroes too.

He's very impressive looking, and i like that the pose is dynamic but not... overly busy? if that's the right term. the green is lovely of course.

I've had a tremendous amount of trouble with their casts in the past, so this is very good to hear, though I fear that it might just be because it's a newer model and a newer mold.

In the past I've had a few new releases that had casting issues rught off the bat.

I think over the last year especially the casting quality has improved tremendously. Even with older molds.

Also the new bases that the new releases get are great. Big improvement over the one Inused for the Green Lantern

That's great to hear!

I'd love if they did a full release of the various Lanterns

Saw this pop back up and took another look at it; really love the subtle glowing effect on the base and all!

Thanks for the kind words

As an update, I just finished Wonder Woman. Superman and Batman are on deck to be finished.

Looks great! Do the bases come as seen here or do you fashion them yourself?

Much appreciated, the base you see in the Green Lantern picture are the old bases Knight models supplied with the models. nothing added by me, the one you see in the WW pic is the new flagstone bases that come with any new releases or restocks,
They just came out with them a couple of months ago. I just added some leaves to it.

I like these ones a lot better since if they don't fit your crew/team, you can sculpt over it, or do whatever you like to it as easily as a blank base, they're great

Looks really sharp! Thanks for sharing

Diana's looking quite good. Very much like the subtle weathering on the shield. Excited to see the rest of the Trinity.

Thanks, I'm tempted to go and pick out the highlights on the shield a bit and darken other areas more, but I'm worried that I'll hit that point of excess and ruin it, so I think it's better to leave as is for now
