Well guys,

Yeah I know, again Asterix ....
But I bought so many, I am glad if I can remoddel them :mrgreen:

As always the making off is to see on my blog HERE

I hope it gave a smile on your face!

It was again a fun project to make.
Well back to the Romain solders, in March the FIGZ promoteam is in Lingen, so I need more and more whahaha
And if you have a nice conversion idea, just let me know.

If you like to try it yourself, I can send you some of these figures.

Congratulations, Remco, you've achieved another one of your imaginative and fun conversions. As always, I've been following the making-of process closely on your blog to find out what the original figure was and how you created all the things you added to it. :love: :love: :love:

In this case, I'd find it hard to choose between the rum bottle, the parrot and the pirate hat as my favourite. :mrgreen:

Thank you, Santi.

For me, it was the parrot this time, although the entire conversion was very enjoyable to do.
Yes, I know you faithfully follow all the steps on my blog. Perhaps I should dedicate my next conversion to you as a loyal blog reader, hahaha.

Thank you, Paul.

A compliment from the master of conversions and ideas is a great honor in this case.
