Why I am not painting at the moment......

Well, due to my 9 year old needing a bedroom I have lost the small hobby room.........30+ years of collecting shoved into our bedroom...................

Salute 18th April 2008

Me somewhat drunk (in the background) meeting the fabled Perry twins who, besides being the most prolific miniature designers in the hobby, also design Lord of the Rings figures (amongst others) for Games Workshop. Bemused looks on their faces show what they were probably thinking......... their website.....

Great weekend spent in London drinking far too much, seeing the sites and not sleeping enough. Met up with loads of 'hobby inspired' people - excellent!

Helping a friend...............

Trying to post a higher quality pic for a friend.....................one of Citadel Miniatures' earliest catalogues... before the days of slottas!

Citadel Miniatures earliest listing... that I know of...

Editing this old post as it deserves some love I think. The earliest Citadel listing I have, back when they were at the Newark Folk Museum. I recall that this was where I first met Bryan and Diane. You could go around the lead bins and choose pieces... it was like being in a sweet shop. I still have a bunch of old separate sci fi weapons from then. 

Front page of the earliest GW figure catalogue I know of... back when they sold all the fantasy ranges they could find. A wonderful time!

Also, if you feel slightly flush, buying me a coffee is always appreciated...tomorrow is cinnamon twist roll at the park..  https://ko-fi.com/davidwood . Or even pop over to https://thelittlesoldiercompany.co.uk/ and have a browse... every little helps!

Any thoughts on anything please do leave a comment and/or email me on enquiries@deartonyblair.co.uk, even if it is to berate me for my penchant for coffee :)
