I tried to spruce him up with some NMM gold and silver, as well as some extra scales that I painted on freehand on the neck and shoulders. I did not finish the base...I'll get to that one day. I'm just not a base guy. Hopefully this little one will make it into a game some day.
A blog designed to show off my fantasy miniature painting hobby. I try to paint vintage fantasy miniatures when I am not working on my mountain of Reaper Bones minis. I want to eventually post thoughts on playing Old School D&D, board games and crafting scenery.

Old Martian Metals Lizardman
Several months ago a couple of friends and I went to the local game store after a meetup to check out the vintage lead minis in their bins. We knew the "cool" kids go out drinking and partying, but we're rebels so we looked for old lead on that night. This store has a treasure trove of old lead - cast aside like trash by their customers who may or may not know the value. This little lizard dude caught my eye on that night so I picked him up. I think he has a lot of personality and is a pretty good sculpt for being a late 70's / early 80's mini. He's from Martian Metals based on what I could find on the lost minis wiki.
