Just finished this one off this weekend. It has been sitting with just primer for months.

LED eyes
Full kit-bashed cockpit
Resin swamp base
Magnetized arms, waist, and top armor shell

Painted in the classic Cadian colors.

C&C, questions, etc all welcome.

very nice

**Klowny**

very cool

The cockpit is excellent -- a wonderfully aristocratic head and armour chosen -- by one suggestion would be to replace the obviously Tau light in the upper right corner.

Call it Gue'vesa technology.

As soon as I read the title of this thread, a picture came into my mind, and your Knight didn't disappoint! I love the green tones and the weathering is also awesome.

I even think the LED eyes work, even though I usually think that LEDs make models look too much like action figures.

**Barnzie4Moop**

Love this!

**Soul Samurai**

That base is fantastic, and the cockpit is a nice touch!

**andywalker07**

Yeah, really like the LEDs and the base is sweet too. Did you colour the resin at all or is it fully clear on a painted base?

**Fishboy**

Love the cockpit! I am about to do resin on some bases and was wondering how to do the edges like that. Will painters tape hold the resin or do you need to do a s License mold?

If there is a weak spot, the liquid resin will find it. I have seen tape used in youtube vids but I would caution against it.

Just a slight green tint.

**Ustrello**

Very cool!

Dumb question but what is that pilot and cockpit kit?

Its a mix of Sentinel, Landspeeder, Tau, and Imperial guard bits along with some plasticard.

Damnit you just created so much work for me

There are probable re-casts of the forgeworld version on ebay but they look like a crappy fit.

Here are the blogs that I modelled my after.
