Stickfas Knight and MC Logo
April 02, 2003

It's weird.  It takes a reasonable amount of effort to put these stupid little images on here.  I have to take the picture.  I have to get it into the computer for editing.  I've got to trace around it to cut out the background.  (Perhaps you can't tell, but this picture was taken on my kitchen table.)  Resampling, transparency, and uploading.

Anyway, this is the Stickfas Knight.  It's a regular Stickfas male figure with some armor and weapons.  He also comes with a horse.  Applying the knight to the horse and having the whole thing remain standing was quite an ordeal that I'm sure you will appreciate.  All of the pieces come in several sprues from which they must be individually removed.  Tools are sometimes required.
