Spam God

Based on the sixties John Cleese comedy skit of people ordering food in a restaurant. The waiter would only bring Spam even though the customers insisted on other items on the menu. Meanwhile Vikings with helmets were coming through yelling Spam Spam Spam… Memorable.

This skit inspired the name Spam to be the designated word for unwanted email today.

My addition was to add crenulated stone pants, armor and a spam can helmet with the old style key. The figure's face and anatomical proportions are borrowed from a Medieval chess piece I have long admired.

The tag on the back of his chain mail says XL.
