Good idea...

Me thinks I should get an Ebay account

I think you should definitely get yourself an eBay account too, several hundreds of pounds of gear there my friend.:bouncy:

EBay here I come

Hmmm...didn\'t think it was worth that much. Found some more stuff later - I must stop buying and get painting.

Hey KittyKat, I know you love dragons and wouldn\'t want to tease you re the Great Spined one. It\'s the one thing I wouldn\'t sell from that list - he was a birthday present and I really think I should pull my finger out and do him justice. Sorry :) The Green dragon with the dwarven treasure hunter is kinda cute ;)

War Giants and Dragons

I always had a soft spot for Citadels \"Great Imperial Dragon\" He just had a cool cranky-disgruntled look to him that really made him stand out from the rest of the dragon minis out there. But alas my mini budget was quite tight all those years ago, and I never did pick one up. Shortly after that I left the hobby for a dozen or so years and have just recently found my way back. The GW dragons of today just don\'t have the originality and personality of past years. I suppose for their efficient mass production they all need to have the same plastic body just with alternating appendages...
Most of the other mini manufacturers I\'ve seen don\'t have much in the way of impressive dragon sculpts out now either. I guess I\'ll just have to wait for Rackham to come up with something...
On a somewhat unrelated note, I did manage to aquire a Grenadier Goblin war giant. At this point in time I no longer have the box, but still have all the parts and they are in various states of completion. After giving myself about fifteen years to finish it I have finally accepted that I will not. I\'ve seen some interest in it on this forrum so I\'ll probably sell it so someone else can paint \'em up.
I was wondering if I could get some feedback...
When I get around to selling it should I strip the paint and disassemble it as far as I can? Should leave it quasi-assembled and just strip the paint? Or just sell it as is with the giant assembled but half painted and the crew base coated in black.
Thanks for the anticipated input and keep painting!

I would leave it as is

I don\'t think a collector could probably care less. There is a big difference if you can offer MIB, but if you can\'t, then you should probably save yourself a load of hassle. A true collector will be quite happy to do a bit of stripping and re-assembling. Often that is a big part of the fun.:bouncy:
