Just stuff wot I've got recently...

 

Due to current financial limitations most of my recent acquisitions are from trades. Not all, but certainly the majority. If you've got old grotty lead to get rid of think of me! If you haven't then please go and shop at The Little Soldier Company (banner at the top) as that is my baby.

Anyway, on to stuff...

A Dragontooth piece I've been after for ages (thanks Tim!)... now just need a loose version to (in theory) paint.

Black Baron wingless dragon... lovely hunk of lead.

Squadron / Rubin Conan... not a great sculpt but nice to have in my collection. There's meant to be pieces missing but I haven't had a chance to check as yet.

Ferris on the base... I assume the sculptor?

Thunderbolt Mountain Conan and lady type... an old casting. The figures don't go togther very well unfortunately.

A bunch of joyous old Citadel sculpts... marred by the fact I couldn't share them with Richard Orclord Hale who passed recently. I really miss him.

A couple of Citadel Spacefarers robots. One of the nicest sc-fi ranges ever imho.

These loose Robin Hood minis are currently on the way to me... apparently they were in museum type blisters although I've not found any as yet. If you know anything about them please leave a comment.

Anyway, that's it for now... think of when the lead needs moving on!

Heritage Models, John Carter - 1507 Issus, Goddess of Death

 

I was sent this a little while back and thought to take some pics for posterity as usual... I fell in love with the John Carter books back in the late 70's -  finding the Heritage Models range was something dreams were made of... albeit 20 or so years later. I don't recall seeing the range back in the day and not sure if it was ever imported over here? We had our own 'Hinchliffe Models' Martian range of course although it was not as diverse as the Heritage one. Hopefully I'll be bringing the Hinchliffe one back to life soon.

All sculpted by Max Carr I believe.

Issus, Goddess of Death upon her throne.

Matai Shang, Father of Therns with the Holy Altar of Doom

I'll probably do a few more of these over time. Hope you enjoy them.

Clarecraft - Discworld Collector's Newsletter Vol 1 No.2 plus some flyers

 

Like most people I love Prathchett's old books and stuff. The only time I met him (at a signing in the late 80's), he was a grumpy old cumudgeon that changed my view of him although I still continued to like the product. I just found a bunch of Clarecraft papers whilst going through boxes and thought I'd post the first issue I have of the newsletter (wish I'd got the first one of course).. Such a shame Clarecraft closed down, they did wonderful pieces.

Hopefully scanned at a decent enought resolution to read. My printer has died but left me the scanning function thankfully.

They released a most wonderful range of pewter minis sculpted by some of my favourite fantasy people... link at the bottom to more images of the range.

I only scanned one of the resin flyers... it was never a rabbit hole I dared go down!
