This is from the Heritage Good Wizard set. It's 1301b and I purchased it online a few months back.
I think I liked the pose because I could try an OSL on it. I have a few figures with lanterns that I have acquired which will work out better, so Mr. Good Wizard gets a regular paint job.
I used Amsterdam ink Brilliant blue for the robe color and variations of whites, browns, yellows and grays for the remainder. A little difficulty with the eyes as the right eye kind of melds into an eyebrow(?). The older castings are just not as crisp as newer stuff, but there is no sense in fretting about it. I paint the parts as well as I can and sometimes its tough to win.
I have a few more wizards on the shelf. They are from a partial box set of Grenadier Wizards and they need to be primered and base coated. I'm always indecisive about the colors for wizard minis. So far I have done the basics - black, gray, blue. Maybe the next one should be red.
UPDATE:
I found the picture I took of this mini when I first got it before I stripped and primered it. It had your standard late '70's glossy enamel paint job.
