I recently painted up some old minifigs Knights of the Silver Rose.

Great to see an actual unit of these guys! Nice job. |

As you suggest – based on the artwork of Rodney Matthews – very nicely done and lovely to see – old Minifigs fantasy figures have a distinct charm and appeal – even if it is somewhat at odds with prevailing tastes. Thanks for sharing them! |

Outstanding! I've never seen those figures before. You did a great job. |

I love to see really old miniature given the works with good paint jobs, these are sweet. |

Those bring back memories. Growing up in Southampton in the 80s trips down to the mini-figs factory was a highlight of my youth. We used to use those guys and among others as stand ins for our Warhammer games. |

Never been one for prevailing tastes – always liked those shields. |

Nice! Always liked those figures. I have a unit of AR's mounted elves that I keep meaning to repaint someday. Their horses are right out of a Rodney Matthews' painting. This one:

I did my Silver Rose unit in golds and yellows. From time to time I find an AR fig in a second hand lot or e-bay offering. Regards David F Brown |

Really nice to see them painted up. Some from the AR range are still available from Minifigs : link |

Thanks for all the nice comments! I have more old Minifigs fantasy, which I hope to paint in the near future. |

Now that brings back memories… I've naturally never seen them this well painted, which adds to the sensation :--) |

Oooh I had that dragon back in the day, wish I knew where it went. Lovely painting!! |
