Knights of Avalon

 

delPrado Medieval Warriors by King and Country

delPrado Medieval Warriors. The figures complete with magazine detailing with the period of history/ battle are available as two issues every two weeks in the UK, there will be 80 in all

The knights are based on colour plates as found in Osprey Publications, who are the technical advisors. The models are manufactured by King and Country Ltd ,who also celebrate their tenth year of trading this year (2004).

The figures are metal and hand painted in matt colour. They tower over a Britains Agincourt knight, so I guess the scale is about 60mm,which would fit as most figures made by King and Country are 60mm , which seems to be the standard size for the Hong Kong based figure designers. 

When the set is finished it will make an impressive display. 

Take a look at the figures by Spanish Publisher Altaya, these were produced for them by Frontline Figures. also supplied with a magizine.
