Crusaders: Balian of Ibelin (Medbury miniatures)

on

 

'I shall tell your father what I've seen you become' 

Hello!

Today a variation on Balian of Ibelin - a historical character popularized thanks to the "Kingdom of Heaven" movie.

Balian of Ibelin (1143–1193), also known as Barisan the Younger, was a crusader noble of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in the 12th century. He was lord of Ibelin from 1170 to 1193. As the leader of the defense of the city during the siege of Jerusalem in 1187, he surrendered Jerusalem to Saladin on 2 October 1187.

Historically, he was a very interesting figure. Additionally, what wasn't covered in the movie (as well as many other things!).
He helped negotiate the Treaty of Jaffa in 1192 between Richard the 'Lion Heart' and Saladin, essentially ending the third crusade.

      A jak się maluję te 3d? Jest różnica między żywicznymi modelami a żywicą do wydruku 3d?

      Niestety nie znam się w ogóle na tych żywicach do druku 3D, ale to co mam jest ma pewno twardsze od innych figurek z żywicy :)
