Xanthos wears hoplite armor, and rather than the normal bronze and dark gold combo I've used for other hoplites, he's in medium gold highlighted with brighter gold. His clothing and crest are bright red, and his cloak is a strong yellow (dark yellow on the interior side). His shield is painted with the eagle symbol of Zeus (which I copied from a photo of an ancient Greek vase, for accuracy's sake).

Base is glued to a washer and smoothed with putty, painted black, and flocked with ground herb from Michael's craft store.
