Frequently asked questions about pewter knight figurines
What sets pewter figurines apart from cold-cast resin figurines?
Pewter figurines consist of a tin-based metal alloy and accordingly carry a characteristic silvery shimmer alongside a different weight and feel from figurines in cold-cast resin (polyresin). The metal allows for particularly fine detail work, which gives small figurines a high level of depth. Cold-cast resin figurines, by contrast, are frequently larger and painted more strongly in colour.
Are the pewter figurines flat or fully sculpted?
The pewter figurines in this range are fully sculpted – designed in three dimensions all round, rather than worked as flat relief figures, as historically widespread within the classic tin soldier tradition.
Which historical eras are represented in the range?
The range covers several eras: the European Middle Ages with Knights Templar, crusaders and order knights, antiquity with Roman legionaries, centurions and Spartan warriors as well as further historically inspired warriors from Norman, Prussian and Norse contexts. Figures from the Arthurian legend are also represented.
