Knightly Repose

[MKJoshA]

Built for the Summer Joust 2025 Still Life category I made a life-size sword, shield and helmet.

 

I was very honored to get mentioned by @Kai NRG in this month's Blocks magazine.

Here are some closer shots of each item.

And here's how I built the helmet:

Thanks for looking!

Nice detail on the sword's blade with the centerline indentation.
The fleur de lis on the shield definitely puts de country on the map. 

The only thing missing is a picture of you with  the helmet on.

This is crazy ...absolutely brilliant!

That center indentation is called a "Fuller". That's a really cool built tho.

I love the sword and the shield. The helmet - not so much.

[MAP Tec]

Great idea. Love the shape and good work!!! Good use of parts by the way

How do they hold up on the field of honor? Really, great work making the tools of the knight at full scale. Nice crest on the shield.

Unfortunately while the helmet is technically full size, it was just slightly too small to fit on my head. Though I did try

You can hold both the sword and shield, but neither are very study. I would need to do a lot more work to get them field ready

That shield has to be heavy as heck.

Amazing! The shield makes a great display piece, and it has a very interesting shape that I’ve not seen elsewhere.

Really cool! The helmet looks really nice and stands out.
