Back into late XVII c: Spanish officer in Flanders 1670'

 Hello guys,


After some months of model making and WW2 painting, I have just finished a Spanish officer in the Spanish Netherlands in 1670'   It will be one of the commanders of my brigades/battalias in the gaming table.

The miniature is a civilian gentleman by North Star 1672, slightly converted. I added a spontoon blade to the tip of the model's stick, and also a sword under his coat.

The base is resin with a wrapped flag and a helmet laying in the ground, and some static grass and tufts.

As you can see, a simple model with simple painting. Next in the painting table, some more officers with maps and a table (WSS/Marlburian officers from Foundry/Casting Room Miniatures).
