Sculptors: Richard Houston, Mario Zecca

Richard Houston founded Lyzard's Grin sometime before 1981.  When the fantasy line was discontinued, he changed the company name to Houston's Tracks (for the WWII line) and Houston's Ships (for the ACW line).  In 1990 Houston's ships was sold to Stone Mountain Miniatures.  Richard Houston retired and closed the company in late 1998.

In 2001, Richard sold some of the rights to the London War Room, who now produces Houston's Lyzard Grin figures and Houston's Weapons for Boats that Float and Fly.
