Acrylics Swiss standard bearer, XVI c. El Viejo Dragon 54mm

[Edorta]

Hi to all. I painted this figure for a collector, after make some changes to the original from El Viejo Dragon. I used a landsknecht with a cup in hand, I cut the hand, erase the cup, and I put in the arm again to catch the flag. The standard is made of a steel stick, a tin sheet and a noun. I changed the typical "katzbalger" sword, for other bigger.
All comments welcome.

Really like your paintwork Eduardo, much more than the figure itself. Your conversion makes it much more interesting though. With just the cup he looks a bit like a beggar...
I particularly like how you painted the metal cuirass. Would you share your approach?

Cheers,
Adrian

Thanks Eduardo!

By the way, the original figure doesn't really look like a beggar, the way he is holding the cup. Would be fun to replace the cup with an iPhone...

Hi Eduardo,

Very nice conversion and paintwork-particularly like the way you have captured the creases in the flag, looks as though it is moving,

Best regards......Keith
