I think it is, it's not mine I'm afraid, just something that was kicking about in the conference room. I'll talk to the maker and see if I can get any pics.

Filled another 3 and am prepping them for paint. Any suggestions on the colour schemes?

Bigger avatar this time!

yeah I think the former got roughed up somehow, I'm going to try and fix it this week.

a closeup of some of the battle damage - And finally an action shot! (thanks Chris)
