Knight of Finland

Intended for 3d print.

Finnish knight, late medieval / renaissance era.

This kit contains model parts allowing you to make a knight miniature (5 variants) with a number of signifiers relating it to Finland.  See detailed parts list below. Recommended scale is 40 to 54mm scale. You can print the model at 28mm scale, but some details (particularly face and coat of arms) will suffer.  Printing at sub-28mm scale may result in model parts being too delicate to print properly. All model parts are prescaled to roughly 54mm scale. Some minor assembly (using glue) is required. See image gallery and detailed list below for further information about model parts.

DETAILED LIST

Kit contains the following model parts:

1 Body  holding sword and shield, wearing _open_ helm and bear pelt with the hood up. Armor is late 16th century Greenwich-style armor, with some fanciful touches of Maximillian/gothic style armor (especially the spiked poleyns). Decoration on shield is the coat of arms of Finland since at least 1580.

1 Shield. One shield decorated with the coat of arm of Finland. The shield has arm straps. The straps may prevent you from gluing it to a miniature, and should be used primarily in situations when you want the back side of the shield to be visible.

 1 Shield. One shield decorated with the coat of arm of Finland. The shield has the arm straps removed, in order to make gluing the shield to the arm of a miniature easier.
