    Legion of the Damned Space Marine with Flamer

    I bought this chap new in the 90s (part number 010109604) and found him again in 2022 after not seeing him for close to 20 years. Here’s how he was when I found him again:

    1998 on the tab. Not much of the original paintjob survived. Perhaps I forgot to prime…
