Mystery Mini 5

My hat off to the first person who properly identifies this old mini. As to the paint job, I did this about 15 years ago with Testor Enamel paint, straight from the jar, with a plastic brush. I painted the eyes with a metal pin stuck in paint. Hey, not much detail you can do with one of those plastic watercolor brushes with no point. Back then my idea of NMM was to paint the metal trim a different shade of gray and gloss it :) Sadly in my D&D games this was usually me.

Paint job needs some work. Too thick of paint and no much shadowing. Keep going at it. I could never get him where I wanted. He is stripped down to metal in some dispaly case that I have somewhere in the garage. Sean

He is from Grenadier AD&D Dungeon Explorers Boxed Set #5001. Paladin I think. Email me if you want at maninthemoon65@yahoo.com and I can send you a scan of the set and cover art. Sean in California Still have this one from when I was 13. I am 43 now.

Thanks for keeping this sucker around for so long and in great shape. All my old testor's painted models are in bit boxes slowly being converted to the great hoard.
