My pal the Italian Stallion

   His name is Ezio. If you've played Assassin's Creed II, you will recognize this costume, and if not then it's just a beautiful costume. I have this quasi obsession with this game series. It's just something about the renaissance and the stabby-runny-jumpy of it all.
   I start out with a blank 7" Munny figure, like so:

The most difficult part of this process is condensing an opulent costume into a tiny little squashed replica.

Surprisingly, you can just bake the entire thing all together as one piece. The last time I made a Munny figure, I didn't know this fact so I peeled everything off and it took so much longer. I love using mixed media, like felt and other fabric, but this just looks so much better.
All that's left is to paint him :)
