Top work, and you can't criticise that tartan, it's top banana.

I remember him - I chickened out and painted the pants blue!


Parted ways many years ago - thanks for the memory and great paint job.

Actually, it’s available from Caliver Books as part of their Classic Fantasy ranges from the old Minifigs molds.  So you, too, can re-live 1975 the way we wanted it to be BITD.
