25 years is long enough to count as a neglected model, right?
This wizard is neglected no more, as I have finally painted him up:
I had a lot of fun with this figure, and there’s a fair amount of detail on it considering its vintage. It was also the first time I’ve painted a vial of liquid, which I think came out okay.
The yellow/green effect on the sword is meant to indicate that the wizard poured some of whatever is in that vial for a magical effect.
It wasn’t until I went to paint this model that I realised he has bare arms. I’ve used this model a number of times over the years, but obviously never looked that closely before.
This model represents my entry for Azazel’s October community painting challenge.
Nicely done Dave! Worth the wait! 🙂

Good work, though it is kind of scary to think that this chap was released 25 years ago.
I always though that the arms were meant to be sleeved, which ended under his bangles for convenience of sculpting. He looks pretty buff for a wizard with a long grey beard!

Damn I hate to think how old heroquest is then…
Nice job. Still a classic mini.

Cheers, yes I think the Heroquest figures would be 30 years or older now
