Turning a cheesy German into Sean Connery!

[Pijlie]

When I acquired Warlord's free Count von Hosenschlange figure (it is a gift with the Devil's Playground book. Do NOT Google the meaning of the word!) I was immediately  reminded of a character in one of my favourite movies: Sean Connery as Juan Sanchez Ramirez de Villa Lobos.



The figure was close, but not perfect. The eyepatch was wrong and of course the iconic peacock feathered cape was lacking. But for the rest it was spot on as far as I was concerned.

See how it turned out here : http://pijlieblog.blogspot.nl/2015/06/turning-cheesy-german-into-sean-connery.html

I'd like to hear how you like it!

The peacock cape looks great, well done!

Fantastic conversion and great painting.

As an aside you might want to embed a picture directly in this thread to get maximum exposure of your work.

Ace conversion, cheesy German to effete snob 
Excellent work.

 "There can be only one!"

Nicely done conversion.

 I am sure there was a thread floating around with various versions of Ramirez last year. Not sure which board it was on though.

Found it!

Excellent conversion/sculpting! Brilliantly pompous, just as I remember Ramirez.
