Wizard on Flying Carpet - take the Arab foot Standard bearer.
Cut standard down to look like a scroll, I used the standard for a cavalry standard.
Drill the base of figure, and add a peice of card to it, - "carpet sized"
Mount on hexagonal (or any other) flying base.....

Simple conversion (must be - did it).

I've got a little chap on a carpet somewhere, but it's only 6mm I think?  I'll find it and sort out a pic.

I'm not that good (my opinion of myself is NOT higher than everyone else's)

Quite an admission Leon. The figure is probably Irregular, one of their better ones.

It's in a batch of old master moulds I've ben digging through recently, it's amazing all the random odds and ends I've found!  The chap on the carpet looks too small to me, but I'll get a pic and let folk decide.

Seems interesting for me some characters or fantasy adds to the arab historical range such as:

+1 vote for any araby fantasy

genius going out the lamp
concubine lady dancing
guard with great alfange (big sword)
Thief in the city
merchant selling his mercancy
Caliph bored.
Iznogoud, the vizir who wants to be the caliph
Eunuch guard
wizard summoning
tuareg adventure (mounted and dismounted)
slave with big fan
camlery young men
Sarracen pirate
monkey (familiar or pet)
Ali baba and 40 thieves  (princes of thieves)
flying carpet
Alchemist and alchemical laboratory
Iman praying
Hashasim assassain
old men crouch smoking a shisha
persian duelist or swordmaster

hope those ideas could inspire someone

Good list, I like the sound of those.

Though perhaps a genie from the bottle would be better?
