Spanish Conquistador - Mejico s. XVI

[fermatgom]

Hi folks,

This is my last figure. A 70 mm Spanish Conquistador by Miniaturas Beneito. A very elegant figure IMO. It took me more time than expected to finish it. Also I had a small accident in the last minute and I had to paint again some parts of the figure
I tried to improve some techniques like painting the blanket with dots to add some texture, and using the ak true metal paints for the metals.
I don't know why but I wasn't able to reproduce with the pictures the tones and shades of the figure. Maybe because I'm too lazy to use the dslr and I just shoot with my phone

Comments are welcome! Thanks for watching!

Great painting work and nice setting. The ecru tones of the aztec best is very accurate.

Love this piece and subject.Very well painted.Did you find the casting detail sharp?I'm assuming it is metal.

Wayne, it is white metal. The casting was fine, very good except for the sword that was a little rough in my opinión

Cheers!
