Title: Excalibur

You know, the John Boorman movie.

Any ideas for figures to use as the knights as portrayed here?

Cheers, Martyn

Good call! What a fantastic film. - a true classic.  I can never forget the scene where Helen Mirren ages from a femme fatale to an aged crone while wearing a wonder woman style costume!

Never heard of the film, but reading it's name twice within a few days is a bit of a coincidence.

Here's something in 28mm from another chap's blog

Always love watching Picard splatter people with a pole axe - really looks like he's enjoying it far too much :)

Not my fave Boorman. Have you watched Hope and Glory?  Same themes, but Boorman knows what he's doing. Even the Wagner makes sense at last.

I quite to see Guy Ritchie's recent "lock, stock & two smoking Arthur's". It looks entertainingly awful, even with David Beckham "acting" in it...
