Thank you very much for your kind comments, friends.

I love your opinion, C M. I would just wish that my humble skills as a painter were as good as those for conversions.
I agree with you both, Wiking and Bluefalchion. Some sculptors (from Hät and other manufacturers) do not pay much attention to small details of the anatomy and equipment of the figures. Therefore, I must try to improve them in the pre-painting preparation stage to facilitate the subsequent paint job.

I would love to have the ability to do what you say, Phil, hahaha. But no, I have only used the left hand and a piece of the signum from the Signifer. The rest of the Pope figure is basically the Pegasus Franciscan monk with some more transformations.

I think your sensational conversions are exceptionally detailed and very clean. The topic is definitely a very unusual and very special idea.
That will certainly remain very interesting.
Thanks so much, Egbert. I greatly appreciate your opinion, considering that you are a conversion master.
Now I have the diorama base ready. Finally, I have not used the printable black and white marble floor that I found on the Internet, but another green and white one from a dollhouse store, due to the larger size of the tiles, the quality of the photo paper used and its brightness, very similar to that of an authentic marble floor.
This is the original paper sheet:
And this is the resulting base:
I also have all the figures primed, but not photographed yet. As soon as I have them, I will post them.
Greetings.
Santi.
