Once I had customized my Playmobil figure as an officer of the Spanish Royal Guard, I felt like doing it again, but now with a Lego minifigure.

And that's what this new project is all about, the conversion of a Lego minifigure into a Major of the Spanish Royal Guard.

The inspiration and research were the same as in the case of the previous Playmobil figure, so the same materials I collected then were also useful to me now, so the final Lego figure should look something like this.

As with the Playmobil figure, I wanted to build the Lego minifigure from all its individual elements, trying to convert as few of them as possible. I got the necessary original pieces both from the figures I have at home and by buying them at the Mercado del Juguete in Madrid (https://www.juguetedemadrid.es). In this way, I gathered the 9 pieces required, which are shown here in their original state.

I then made up some of the elements (this included the headgear called ros which must have been shortened from the original Napoleonic shako and to which I added the feather, as well as adding to the body the belts from self-adhesive paper) and painted them all separately. Here are the different pieces once painted.

The last step was the easiest one, I just had to assemble the figure by putting all the elements together. These are different views of the final figure obtained.
