Same scheme or something else?

I would say probably red but I'm not 100% sure.

What are you guys thoughts on color choices?

Change ( suggestions)
Or
Keep the same ( red base , gold and hazard stripes )

Thanks whalemusic for the comment

I'd say keep em one happy family.

And you keep your blasphemous negative thoughts of Lego Movie to yourself!

Hmm, I'd say one in a similar scheme, to be his brother, and then you need to get yourself another leviathan to make a matching pair out of that and the remaining knight......

For the record I enjoyed 99% of that movie.
I was thinking that I may try to reverse the red to gold on the smaller twos armour plates. I think your right though.

Don't think that the thought has not crossed my mind .
Let me get these two done and we will see . I would love to field a Knight army and I think four is a solid number.

Keep the comments coming

Keep the same scheme but do the Tomax and Xamot theme

I love the idea but I don't have any blue in my scheme. Can you elaborate.

I happen to be a huge gi Joe fan and I like where you heads at

Basically reverse the colour scheme you have created all ready, however it will mean repainting one of the shoulder pads say in the gold to get the mirror image to achieve the desired look.

Also dont forget to add the scratch to the head to create that extra authenticity, hope that helps also see If I can find a picture that might help a bit more that way you will see you don't need the blue

Iron grenadiers any one

No problem But why would you have to paint the exo skeleton red ?

I am looking at the clothing red would be the exo skeleton and the silver would be the armour plates.

Today has been a long day. Please feel free to elaborate your idea.

I sincerely like the idea

Ok let me explain as best as I can the exo skeleton stays the same as the previous model think that is the equivalent to their skin, now the armour is a mix of their clothing and armour which is why I said you might have to paint one of the shoulder pads in metallic.

Now when you come to paint the colour scheme of the second guy just reverse the red and the metallic scheme so it reflects the opposite image, I hope that makes sense now and of course some kind of scrape down the face mask right cheek.

Magnetzing a Knight walker ... It's it worth the effort?

Thoughts?

Slow start but I have the torso able to swivel. Really easy mod.

God dam these knights are small
Lovely kit so far.

Stay tuned

Since you have the top off anyway... interior?

Let me get the first one done and we will see. Your interior is inspiring though.
I really have the itch to start work on the armoured train again.

So many projects so little time.

I simply could not resist

Had I not got one for my birthday, I would've got one myself.

I bought the mold line remover and plastic cutters from GW tool line and I have to say I am very impressed.

The cutters are the perfect size and weight . The mold line tool is amazing!

Go spend the $15 on it. Trust me your thumbs will thank you.

Updates on Knights are coming soon.

Just ordered one of these bad boys!
I am so excited. Can't wait for it to arrive

Anybody own one ? What do you think ?

Also I am in the market for a new painting light. I have been looking a drafting lamps with adjustable handles.

Anyone have a higher end hobby desk light that you would suggest. I'm thinking no more the $150 us.

Any help on this one would be huge

Thanks all

It's gonna be a long night!

One down , four to go

Far from done with my organization. I want to color sort the paints and I'm adding a second desk.
I love this paint rack.

Seems handy for the 'immediate-use' paints. How many can you store on that rack? +-50?
