Hey guys. I would like to show you my Freeblade Imperial Knight, named Federtod.
If you would like to see the making-of pictures, please, check out this album.

Very nice paintwork, and I like the head conversion.

Holy GAK!! Awesome!!

Nice.
I like how he sort of looks cheery as well as creepy.

Great job, keep it up. Really like the shoulder detail.

That head actually kinda fits! Looks cool none the least. How did you make a press mold for the skuls? Like where did you get the initial skulls and were they already grouped together?

Thanks for the kind comments, guys, I am glad you liked it.

Actually, I once bought a 40mm round resin base that was covered in skulls and just made a mold of that

That's really awesome. How good does a press mold hold up? I'm assuming you push green stuff all over it and let it sit some, peel it off, let it harden. Once dry stuff GS inside it and pull it out?

I'm seeing so many imperial knights about at the moment - if I see one more I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up buying one just to paint!!

The head and the lights have to make this one of my favorites!

That's awesome.

Cheers, guys!

I used a product called "Easy mold". It has to be softened in boiling water, after which, you can press things into it. When it hardens, it is still soft enough to be bent in order to remove the object. Then I just stuff in GS in it and leave it to dry.

He certainly looks unique. Even though he looks good, I think Knights painted flat colors look better. It makes them look more realistic.

Thanks! I'd be interested in buying one of your casts skulls or one of your little easy molds with the press of the skulls already in. Send me a PM if your interested please.
