Corbeau Bretonnian Grail Reliquary

thingiverse

Fancy and hard piece to make. Not because of its overlook but because of the need I had to make it easily readable, printable and paintable. I tried first to make a one-piece model but it was a 1 full day printing thing and I hate that because if something goes wrong, all the plastic and all the day are lost. It represents a dead knight exhumed by fanatics and assembled as if he was alive on battlefield to support troops. The model had to look like a knight from far and like a very curious melt of things with a closer look. Actually, I did a 3 parts model for a global print time of 7 hours and some flexibility and customization ways on building it. I was surprised it looked so smart post printing and it was a pleasure to finish it. The dead horse is beared by 2 cultists in dresses to figure the horse barding. The front one is attached to the dead head and seems to wear a complex system of metal and wood like if he was in a carnival parade with some hudge carboard model. The horse back is also a man disguised in the same way. In the middle, two crew members wear the dead knight, one handling the saddle and the other having a knight's leg on his hand and trying to place it were it should be. I customized the whole model with some legit parts like the knight head and the jousting lance. Other parts come from my bretonnian knight models. Apologies for the big weight of the model but I had to keep as details as I could to ensure a suitable result.
