In 1963, we were required to read _Ivanhoe_ by Sir Walter Scott, since then I have always loved the story.
Although I was able to pick up some of the Timpo metal Ivanhoe figures, and some Starlux ones, I have, for years, looked for the newer figures I could use for the scene at the Templar’s Preceptory of Templestowe, where Ivanhoe fights the Templar, Brian de Bois-Guilbert to prevent Rebecca of York from being burned as witch.
In attendance, was the Templar Grand Master, and the Holy Clerk of Copmanhurst (Friar Tuck).
A number of years ago, at OTSN, I was able to pick up the White Tower Miniatures figure of Rebecca, and later the Conte Templar to represent Brian de Bois-Guilbert, and I thought the King & Country MK057 made a nice opponent as Ivanhoe, however I wanted it painted like the colours he wore in the 1982 movie.
This past December I persuaded Will Leary to paint the figure for me.
This eclectic scene is the result.

I would be proud of it if I had made it...

did you also make the grand stand?

Perusing this Forum for many years, seeing all the great work, and explanations of how things were done, by so many talented people like yourself and others really helps !

The stand is made by Black Hawk for their "The Tournament" series, the Banner that I draped over the railing was just printed on olde cotton cloth.
 
Great stuff! It's so cool when the cherished scene that's been lurking in your mind for years finally gets expressed. That's what its all about!
