This is one of my favorite characters from my favorite comic Kurt Busiek's Astro City. He doesn't show up much, but he always makes an impact.

The figure is very much kit-bashed, but I feel like the original character has that same thrown together quality. For people who know the character, he actually has the "conquistador" breastplate under the flag. It was hard to get all the elements to look right together. Heck it is hard to find on decent image of his just "standing there" in the comic book.

I think I try for "dramatic" pictures over the "give me a decent look at the this thing you cobbled together and are so proud of".
