54mm Teutonic Knight

This is an older paint job from a few years back. The figure I believe was produced by Andrea Miniatures but I am not 100% certain of that. It was a close out item from Squadron Mail Order a few years ago. The dirt on the cape was made from using several shades of earth tones from Mig Productions pigments. I would like to say the cross was done by hand but it was actually a decal from the Warhammer Space Marine sheet, and in particular, the iconography of the Black Templar's. To get it smooth and avoid the decal look I put a small amount of Vallejo High Gloss varnish just on that section where the decal would go, placed the decal and let it set, then put Vallejo Matt varnish over the whole area where the icon was placed. For example, the chest received the decal so I put the matt over the entire chest piece to, not just the area where the decal sits. That gave the entire section a uniform appearance.
