Hello all,
In the big ol' pile of lead-box, was a small Goblin that was begging to be painted. Not a brilliant sculpt by any measure, it was a quick mini to paint and the stone club was fun.
Anyone know who manufactured this goblin? I was surprised at the speed with which you guys managed to identify my mystery dwarfs, so I'm hoping someone might have the information on this little stone age goblin.
It is probably from the late eighties, but apart from that I have no idea. The sculpt is bad, very few details and most had to be painted on. Looks a bit like a "home-made" miniature?
EDIT: Thanks to the help of Leif Ericsson, this mini turns out to be a homemade sculpt from one of Prince August's sculpts; the 25mm Goblin mold. The interesting thing is that I have painted it in almost the exact same colours - some 25 years after :-).
I still have no recollection of purchasing the mini - but I seem to recall there was a chap at my local gaming club who molded his own, so perhaps he was kind enough to give me one?
But it painted up al right and was a fun little exercise :-)
All the best,
Kasper

I think it's one of the Prince August fantasy miniatures. The ones you bought a mold for and cast yourself, which would explain the poor quality.
ReplyDeleteLeif - again you seem to be spot on. The scary thing is I seem to have painted it in exactly the same colours as the one on Prince August's homepage (http://shop.princeaugust.ie/moulds-by-scale/25mm-scale-moulds/25mm-scale-3x-goblins-moulds/).
DeletePerhaps my memory is not as cloudy as I thought :-). Thanks for the id.
All the best,
