Grenadier Guard cartoon figure

[Santi Pérez]

I have finally finished and photographed the souvenir figure of a British Grenadier Guard already presented in the Work in Progress section together with its painting process:

The usual first picture for scale purposes:



And now the sequence of pictures comparing the original figure, the primed and half-painted version, and the final figure view from different angles:

I hope you like it. Thank you for watching.

The difference "before" - "after" is stunning: you have transformed a toy into a little piece of art!

[Graeme]

Wonderful Santi! You've turned him into a souvenir worth having.

Classic Santi style of course, but also, I think that he looks every bit as smart as a real Guardsman. I'm sure he'll continue to give you lots of good memories of your trip to London.

Can only agree with the others! Lovely piece of work!

[Beano Boy]

He should be wearing the medal of Diversity Santi.
A very cool figure indeed,and i love his paint job. BB

[Peter]

Wonderfull transformation!

I hope you will find more figures like this so you can show your version to us! Keep them coming Santi!

Fine work, and a very clean paint job on this delightful figure. Well done!

[Santi Pérez]

Thank very much for your kind words, friends.

...I hope you will find more figures like this so you can show your version to us! Keep them coming Santi!

Actually, I already have some other souvenir figures from previous trips to other European cities (Athens, Turin, Dubrovnik, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Edinburgh, Prague, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tallinn, etc.). Although most of them don't look cartoonish, maybe at some point in the future I'll decide to paint or repaint them (depending on whether I bought them unpainted or already painted).

Cheers.

Santi.

Thank you, my older tocayo in the forum.

Very nice, Santi...Maybe you should change your avatar now!

Thanks so much, Jan. I have decided that I will maintain my actual avatar. You already know my special devotion to the Swiss Guard. Perhaps I will consider changing it in the more distant future, once I can get someone of the converted figures that I have on my list of pending works.

Santi.
