An oldie but a goodie....

Hello all,I first saw this figure about 21 years ago at a M.M.S.I. show,bought one then but never got around to painting it,time went by and I lost it......then a little while ago Planeteer Gary D. had one for sale on E Bay and I was able to get it.(Thank you Gary) This one I got painted and thought I would show you all and see what you think . He depicts a L.R.R.P. or Spec. Forces operator..circa 1968 Southeast Asia....now,I know it is a bit "Rambo-esque" but I still think it is a cool figure.(Please forgive my Novice photography)

cade,by the talented hands an old dissapear friend, and well know sculptor,Sid
Horton.The scale are 1/32,(54mm).

Tomas, this particular figure was, I believe, sculpted by the illustrator Kevin Lyles.

According to the included painting guide,it is by Kevin Lyles,but I think Sid Horton did own the company.

Steve, You did a fantastic job on the figure. that tiger stripe camo is really well done. Congratulations, he's very cool. I always liked that figure (I still have one)and it still holds up to today's standards IMHO.~Gary

oh yes, Sid was definately Chota Sahib - it's possible this was the only figure not sculpted by Sid

Nice paint work and very nice presentation on the base. No problems withthe photography as far as I can see.

Gentleman,I am glad you like the paint I slapped on this figure,your compliments mean a lot to me. I would also like to ask if anybody out there knows where I could get my hands on the 54mm S.A.S. trooper that Chota Sahib made....I would really like to get my hands on that one also.
