Looks like he's still loading

I’d say it depicts the ethereal reality of Arthurian legend very well

Not stolen yet?

Fantastic piece. But the crown over the hood bothers me.
Tmoneybags
Neat! I’ve been there and hadn’t seen it. Is it new?
MostlyJustTryingToBeNice
Been there too and agree its amazing unless you dont like stairs

If you pull his sword from him do you get to be the next king?
otiumCatulli
You get to challenge the Queen. Good luck.

It's here, if you were wondering, I found it on a map! https://goo.gl/maps/hWX7TwejTPdPKcga8 On the west coast of England :)
IamRodHull
Careful now, the people's republic of Kernow will get upset being called England ;)

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

It's getting annoying really...

It's a reposting account, maybe a bot. Meanwhile original content like mine just get downvoted to hell.
LongCommentChainAppreciator
I checked your posts, a few reposts in there and yet another Trump post. I don't know why you are surprised.

Stoic on the outside, hollow on the inside, standing in a puddle that would be unsafe to drink.

That is freaking awesome!

Agreed
HappyEngineer
You can stand inside it and put your hands in the gloves

Yes but can you walk in his shoes for a day?

Underrated
CrypticalEnvelopement
Bronze statue, or copper? Because that looks like copper
Shackram
Bronze statues have a copper like patina, remember it's by the sea and might have been enhanced artistically.
CrypticalEnvelopement
I didn't know what a patina was, thank you. Bronze typically doesn't oxidize as readily as pure copper so I was surprised at the oxidation
ImaginaryMamboNumber5
Bronze is 2/3rds copper and up to 1/3rd tin. The patina is still oxidised copper, either naturally occurring or by applied chemical process.
CrypticalEnvelopement
I didn't know about the patina, thanks. But alloys exhibit different properties than their pure counterparts. For example stainless steel 1
CrypticalEnvelopement
Which is at least 85%+ iron, resists oxidation much more readily than pure iron. 2

Been there and it is magical. Amazing place to visit. Fun fact, there is a hotel called Camelot Castle near it owned by a Scientologist.
MizuNoMark
Why is that fun...
Spiten2
My god. My fiance and I stayed at the Castle. We had no idea, but as soon as I saw the pictures of Tom Cruise the penny dropped.

Also the "Resident Artist"s work was awful, we were constantly asked by staff if we wanted to meet him. Definite hard pass.

I love just down the coast. Looks like I have a user for this old box of eggs in my fridge.
RustyMcKraken
Is it allowed bring rotten eggs & an egg chucking device (to be determined by distance) so I can shoot the scientologist hotel?
TheRealFireFrenzy
If they didnt want it to be attacked by siege equipment they shouldnt have called it a caslte
turgidbowlers
It is actually highly encouraged. In scientology rotten eggs represent Xenu.
RustyMcKraken
Well, I guess it'd have to be buckets of crap than & an airsoft rifle with some rounds filled with Tar & others with paint if you're correct
IamRodHull
It may be a fact but it's definitely not fun.
ElCoronaBeerUs
Fact. Bears eat beets
JustCarved
Im sure there's people that would find it fun. Thats just like your opinion
NinjaCongo
IamRodHull
Yep, those people would be scientologists.
mrmb
What about the fact there is a good brewery 3-4miles down the road from this. Is that a fun fact?
Nogster
Not really, more like required knowledge.
IamRodHull
Now you're talking my language. Is that Skinners?
