Asterix and the Britains 1

Today two figures of the Asterix in Britain comic book. One is the greenkeeper I painted for a duel against my good friend Remco from Remco Miniatures. The figures were a gift from him and his daughter in law picked one for the duel. The duel and the result of it can be seen here.

I tried to paint the figures like they look in the comic book, what is not always easy because I saw in the newer versions the colors have been changed a bit. Also the name was different from the first edition to the last one. The greenkeeper has no name as far that I know, but the cousin of Asterix has one. First he is called Notax, then it became Flegmatix and the latest version it is Anticlimax. For me, because I'm an old man, it stays Notax. Also because it is a little wink to my British friends!

So now I have written enough blabla, time for the pictures.

The two of them together.

I hope you like my two little friends and once again Remco, thank you for the figures. I hope to paint the other ones as soon as possible.
