Hi Guys,
I got the ACI Hospitaller, its my first historical medieval figure. I've been collecting ancient figures and LOTR , but I was very pleased with this figure.
ACI delivers great tailoring, nice weathering, a good body underneath.
The weapons and the helmet are metal, he comes with a spear to add a banner, a sword and a dagger.
The chainmail is nice looking, but I decided to give him real mail.
What I disliked was the head that came with him. It's definitely too big for 1/6. I've compared it to other sculpts. Its bigger than the helmet itself. Its a pity, but it can be fixed.
He comes with a black head inside the coif, to use with the helmet, so I decided to give it a repaint and add real hair.
Also I had a horse waiting for him, and made him a mantle and tack, saddle etc.
I didn't take a lot of pictures opening him, I intend to do that later.
Some of the pictures.
The original head
A comparison with KP crixus from the gladiator set. Its one of the bigger heads ( because of the sculpted hair) and you can still see how much bigger the hospitaller head is.
The black head that fits inside the coif and helmet
Horse and knight
And now for the final touch, real chainmail
And a bonus crucifix
Hope you guys like it. I've had a blast with this figure, and it has lots of potential.
