It is time for the next MASSIVE VOODOO CONTEST!!!! AAYYYAYY!!
Dsching! Dsching! Klip! Klap! Dsching!
That's the sound every boy remembers from his childhood while playing with he played with those tiny scaled 1:72 Knights. C'mon everyone once wanted to be the most powerful knight on the battlefield. I remember those days good, when the others were dressed as cowboys and native indians, police and robber, doctor and nurse - i always stormed the place in Knight Armoury and beat them all - Knights will be the theme for MASSIVE VOODOO's next CONTEST, welcome to the
What you got to do?
- Find yourself a figure of a knight, mounted or dismounted in scale 1:35 (54 mm).
Not those great and beautiful sculpts you can get around the corner, from example Pegaso Models. No, we mean those soft plastic ones, like this one.
- You and your friends (get a box together) are invited to do conversion of your knight or not, as you like and whatever you can imagine (light saber action for example), BUT it should be easily to see that you have used such boydream knight of plastic as the basic body.
- You can do bases however you like and also the amount of knights doesn't matter at all. Fifty fighting Fifty, only one, a duel or go to the thousands in numbers as you like. Everything is welcome. Here are three examples of what you can do and one of them will be the first prize of the contest :) - we have used this box for our knights and mainly changed the helmets to heads (we used Preiser 1:35 heads here, but we are not sure if those are still available, there are some by Pegaso and other manufacturers, this is your quest not ours, brave knight!) - Those 2 knights (King Templar Knight and spanish Lord will be the first exchange miniature between Raffa and Roman):
- Your goal is to enjoy the fun we experienced while doing such a stupid project, back to the roots of it all, back to where it all started when we have been girls and boys - i was like 8~10 when i charged my friends in knight armour on a wooden horse and really made the experience that working with such a simple model makes really, really happy - a great fun! Feel invited to do yours.
- There are no rules, you can paint and convert whatever you want! Even a plastic knight fighting a plastic dragon with a fork!!

Hey, might have a go at this!
Are models like GW Bretonian Knights/Dark Elf Cold One knights acceptable for this?
GW Models have a far smaller scale than 1.35 - the rules say: Find yourself a figure of a knight, mounted or dismounted in scale 1:35.
Roman kommen noch Regel auf deutsch (oder italienisch)?
What? Only those ugly 1:35 things? :(
@Fabrizio
Rules in german follow / Deutsche Regeln folgen
@Anonymous
Yes, because they seem ugly, but there lies a beauty in them beyond imagination if you give it a try!! :)
Fetzt...:) werd mir welche besorgen und mal schaun was ich draus machen kann....Hab schon lange nichts mehr bepinselt...
LG c3r
Yes it is ;)
Finding suitable miniatures seems like a decent challenge already...
We'll see...
Could you or anybody else post some suggestions for some miniature producers? I didnt find any and the Revell Knights seems to be out of production...
Cool. I didn't manage to competete in your madmax contest, but this time I will. I searched the attic at my home today and found some of my old "Friends". What I never realised, this ugly painted knights have even made by the old glorious company Britain! (even though I always had more cowboys and indians!)

@ Anonymous: Try ebay, search for "Ritter 1:35" I just found a few, the cheapest set is 60 knights for 1,99 € !!!
Rules say: 1:35(54mm)
In England, maybe elsewhere too, we
see "1/32" (54mm)
So, are "1/32", "1:32", "1/32nd" allowed?
Further to my question - 1/35 - 1/32 - I now see the link to the figures on sprue - http://www.fuhrmann-figuren-shop.de/WebRoot/Store14/Shops/15505724/4C3C/639C/1752/39A3/B473/C0A8/29BA/1AB9/img119.jpg
These are in that shop as 1/32 - NOT 1/35
Please do confirm that 1/32 ARE allowed. :)
Confirmed: 1:32 is also allowed !!
I will have to go hunt for these little guys ^^ Are they mainly available in Europe?
As far as I know, they are mainly available in Europe ;)
Would Italeri Gladiators - http://www.lokomodele.pl/images/IT6869.jpg - be suitable for this competition, or only Knights are "proper" ?
Hi,
Can I please check if these are too small?
http://colshofer.blogspot.com/2011/08/same-old-story-probably-too-small.html
I am starting a little diorama, in any case, but I cannot spare any true 1/35 figures, presently.
If they are not suitable, NP, please let me know, and I will look forward to seeing all the entries.
Cheers.
CS
lol I may just give this a go .Iv always wanted to do a larger scale figure (one of the nice fancy one`s ;)so think il have a go at wrecking one of these first lol
Does it have to be a european knight or are also arabian "knights" allowed?
It's hard to get these ... and shipping is 3 to 10 days at best. I hope I can make it in time.
My entry just sent. :)
Yeah! Your entry just recieved !!
Roman,
Can I enter the knights in the pics, or not, please?
TY
CS
Sorry for the late reply - this question wasn't caught by my reconnaissance - yes you are allowed to enter them!
TYVM :)
Dsching! Dsching!
CS
Darn I should read this blog more often ! :D
I probably won't be able to get hold of one of those plastic knights 'till the deadline ends...
I'll try anyway, I love the Idea
Had a reminder to check here today but now see...
28th of November
Assume it's been extended due to lack of entries. Or is there another reason?
Ihr Säcke. Ich hab heute nen Tag Urlaub genommen, um fertig zu werden und ihr verlängert die Abgabe.
