Europaparix

[Dad's Army]

Well as you know I don't post a lot of my work, just because my painting skils aren't as good as all you here, but sometime I think this is an idea i like to share here.
Today I present you because of the semifinals of the European Songfestival our Dutch entry:


Joost Klein with his number Europapa

So that inspired me to make:



With his bleu suit I had to make a conversion of a Asterix figure into:

Now I can only end like he says "12 points to the Netherlands"

Hope you like him, and of course the making of is on my BLOG

Once again, Remco, you leave me speechless with your creation.

As always, you combine great originality in your search for inspiration with total success in representing the initial idea using the various Asterix figures at your disposal.

I must confess that I was completely unaware of who Joost Klein was, I had to Google him. Although I was a big fan of the Eurovision Song Contest years ago, for some time now I have hardly been interested in it (unlike my wife, who has not missed the two days of semi-finals this week, as she does every year).

After all this and after seeing the full review on your blog, I can only congratulate you warmly, because you have achieved a very accurate portrait of the singer (the only thing missing are the tattoos on her fingers).

I especially admire your effort to hand-paint all the stars on the flags. In my case, I'm sure that, for the sake of convenience, I would have googled the flags, printed them on sticky paper and then stuck them on the flagpoles.

My best congratulations, ‘master of Asterix figure conversions’.

Santi.

...Now I can only end like he says "12 points to the Netherlands" ...

I haven't heard Joost Klein's song, but I'm sure it deserves 12 points more than Spain's song, which I have heard and which I don't like at all because of the content of its lyrics, which generated a lot of controversy in the country when it was released.

Really nice figure Remco! It has my 12 points!

And finally....our twelve points go to........Remco!

Thanks guys, unfortunately the original did not live up to his dream, but as far as streams are concerned he is the winner.

Unfortunately I can no longer buy ice creams at IKEA, because everything from Sweden is banned now hahahahaha.

It was a really fun conversion to make, despite the fact that he is way below your standards in terms of painting technique.

Now I have to come up with a new conversion, and believe me that is not easy with these figures, so if you have an idea I would love to hear it.
