S&S Vanha mounted Sultan
Liked this figure the minute I saw it. At the time (1976/7?) it was brand new and just released. At that time I tended to paint figures up quickly and in full gloss - I still like gloss figures, always seems right for what are, basically, toy soldiers.

He is a marvelous figure. I probably should have ordered one but I was afraid he might want his own army......
ReplyDeleteBox arrived yesterday thank you. I'm saving the opening till Christmas.
Merry Xmas!
DeleteGreat painting and figure. I have always preferred gloss varnish, but until recently had been a closet shiny fan, not daring to come out in the modern matt world...with the advent of old school fandom it's suddenly acceptable again...huzzah! Box has arrived, but unlike Ross I feverishly tore it open to admire the goodies. I haven't fully unpacked them yet, but hope to later this evening.
ReplyDeleteHope you like them - enjoy.
DeleteIs it too late to order some Vendyhans from you for Christmas?

I've put them back on but please please be quick - I'm closing everything down tomorrow and want the 20mm Ancients to be the last figures standing. My version of first in, last out.
DeleteMany thanks! I have just ordered!
DeleteStupid question, but what is S&S ? For sure not Soldiers and Savages? comming on the market 1976 is this still a "true" 25mm figure or is he bigger?

S&S is Sword and Sorcery - Fantasy figures. Yes, they re 'true' 25mm.
DeleteThanks for the info. Interesting, this guy makes a good Arab leader:-)
