This figure is the standard bearer for my blue skinks. The standard was actually a goof on the part of Games Workshop. I had the wrong topping for my pole. I went with it anyways and like the look. On retrospect, I should have painted the wooden figure the orange and the ribbon the blue so that there is alternating blue-orange-blue contrast. Completed in February of 2001.
