'Nostalgia' from SidneyR - The Satyr

My nostalgia entry is not so much the setting of the miniature, or the painting, but the figure itself and the memories it brings back.  It's a figure I have had for about 25 years without applying any paint to it.  It's a Satyr, beautifully sculpted from Games Workshop (perhaps Trish Morrison), which I think was marketed as part of GW’s miniatures range for the "Talisman" game in the late 1980s.  I picked it up as part of a pack with a Sorceress and a Thief. 

I remember the “Talisman” game really well, and a lot of the Games Workshop games from the 1980s.  Seeing the figures from these games always brings back some amazing memories – of teenage friends, of all-night games, and crazy dungeon-crawling D&D adventures.

How the Satyr escaped a (thick and ham-fisted coat of enamel) paint defeats me.  But I’ve tried to correct that now by turning it into a marketplace statue for a Seventeenth Century town.  As the statue looks a little bare on its own, I’ve added a little straw, a couple of Warbases hens and a cockerel and an adventurer’s hat.  Perhaps we might even find the adventurers in later Challenge submissions!
