1976 Ral Partha wizard

I got this online ( painted) a couple of weeks ago. Its a wizard w/staff  E 112 from Ral Parthas Wizzards, Warriors, and Warlocks series. I applied stripper to it last night, gave it a scrub, cleaned out some casting lines and applied a white primer coat. Since it just started snowing I have the whole day to think about color scheme and get some painting done.
It appears this figure was listed in the 1978 RP catalog, but I don't think it was purchased by any of my gaming friends.  Back then, we tended to buy what was pictured because you knew what you were getting, and the catalog had more listed product than pictured product.
I bought the Land dragon with Lancer back then, and also the Assassin (which is MIA).
