Landsknecht in 54mm

In a departure from the usual painting activities, something new was tackled this week.  What was that?  A metal figure in 54mm crossed the painting desk.
On a whim, I purchased a couple of 54mm figures from eBay.  At first, I was unsure whether to leave the figure in its natural state of bare metal with a nice patina or paint the figure.  For the Landsknecht with halberd, I opted to give him a coat of paint.
First, the sculpting detail on the figure is remarkable.  Crisp lines with deep undercuts and no flash.  Nice!  The results turned out pleasing too.

What will I do with him now?  For now, he will adorn my desk.
