Hi everyone,
I'm new as a member but by no means new to Dakka in general (which I'm on frequently, normally in the P&M forums. My apologies in advance but I am desperately trying to track down a model I came across during a late night interwebz session and hopefully, my vague description below may jog someone's memory.
The model in question is (from what I recall) a Russian cosmonaut. He has an oversized head and small body/limbs, and is flying. He is from a skirmish game (I don't recall which though) and is a fantastic looking little model. He's quite evil looking too.
I realise reading that back, how little there is to go on. But he's quite distinctive so I'm hoping someone will be able to tell from that.
Thanks everyone

I'm stumped.
Why do you say cosmonaut, what made it look Russian? Was it a realistic, pulpy or science fiction suit?

Victory Force has some in their not-Star Trek line.

But I don't recall any that screamed Russian to me or any that were flying.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the reponses; he's not in there unfortunately. :(
To try and give more information: He's is a named character (from memory) so doesn't have a generic 'spaceman' name. The proportions are really off: His head is practically the size of the whole of his body. He's in a spacesuit without a helmet, but with the head wrap that shows his face. I believe him to be almost in a sitting position with a pack on which is how he flys.
I must admit I can't seem to place why I think he's a comsonaut, maybe a detail following his name. Memory is an odd thing!
The game was definitely skirmish (like Malifaux with individual models) but I can't place the setting in my head: maybe steampunk/sci-fi type. I
I appreciate any help from my rubbish vague recollection. If I find him before some helpful dakkanaut I'll be sure to post a pic up.

I found it!! After trawling back through all the website data on my iPad. He's called Sputnik and is from a game called Pulp City which I'm not familiar with. Not sure how you post a pic but link below:

Looking at him I can see my description was less than stellar. Thanks to you both for trying to help. It was driving me insane!

It's a generic super-hero game, with some pretty cool models in some fairly familiar themes.

Pulp City is the dogs. I love that game. I was especially disappointed that I missed the reds vs Blues KS back when they had the new factions show up.
Good find. He reminds me of Modok, or Hector Hammond.
