Knight with sword and shield

This is my first attempt at something like this and posting on here, so here goes. Please let me know your thought and comments.

Printed on my Printbot Simple using PLA with no support material.

The figure stands approximately 30 mm tall not including the height of the base.

The finish is not brilliant so if any one has any tips on how to improve the finish on PLA prints I would love to here them. Other wise I think I ill have to wait until I can print with ABS.
