King Arthur - The Reality Behind The Legend

King Arthur of Britain, the leader of the Knights Of The Round Table and wielder of the magnificent sword Excalibur, is a legend. Like all legends, there is a source to his character that is grounded in reality. Many theories about this source exist. For my version of the legendary king I decided to stay on British soil and adopted the theory that Arthur's real life counterpart was an Anglo-Saxon noble from around the 6th century AD.
My figure is therefore dressed like a wealthy Anglo-Saxon warrior.My sculpting leans heavily on the archeological finds of Sutton Hoo and Staffordshire, in some cases using existing licence-free scans of the findings, but mostly creating the clothes and accessories anew from their historical examples. In the Anglo-Saxon culture there was no romanticising the weapons like we find it in medieval knights' tales and poems, so my Arthur's Excalibur is just a typical Anglo-Saxon "sax", albeit expensively made. As the legendary Arthur is inseperable from his sword, though, I depicted the figure with the sword dran and laid over the shoulder in a mixture of pride and nonchalance.
I have sculpted the model as detailled as I could with Nomad Sculpt, so that is should be able to be printed up to a size of 40 cm in height without losing the texture.

Model is made for resin printing. Model comes with no supports, as in my experience it is better to support print models with setting suitable for your own printer.
The bigger parts of the model come in a solid and a hollowed out version, for you to choose. The files are in size for a print with a 23 cm height; of course you can change this after download according to your own wishes.
