    It has been a long while from my last post. From time to time, real world interferes with our hobby. Nonetheless, I managed to finish this piece from Pegaso: Halberdier of the Spanish Guard, 16th Century.
    A challenging figure, not only because the colour scheme and intricate detail, but also by the sword's flimsiness, and some adjustment issues, notably the left arm/cape, and its interaction with the sword's scabbard. As it is, I was unable to rest the left hand onto the hilt.
    Also, you will notice the halberd shaft a little distorted: That’s because after gluing it, the figure tilted over the bench, an if I tried to straighten it, the hand would get loose…
    In the end, a satisfactory (if tiresome) work, and a colourful one.
    All painting with acrylics, and NMM.
    Hope you like it
    Regards,
    Javier

    Reminds me a bit of the Captain of the Black Ship in the TC-series 'Shogun': similar sharp features
