Vintage Citadel blog/Blanche/Ansell galleries
« on: July 11, 2012, 11:14:20 AM »
Got myself a new website/blog about collecting vintage Citadel. If you can't be bothered with all that blogging stuff you might like to take a look at the stuff in the galleries. The Bryan Ansell stuff is already on the Collecting Citadel Miniatures wiki but most of the John Blanche stuff is unseen (and there's lots of it).

cheers
Steve

I'm challenging myself to post something "of interest" at least weekly...

Certainly one to watch - and the Blanche gallery was a pleasant surprise. Some cool miniatures/paintings in there.

 I've got lots more new pics of Bryan and John's stuff, which I'll be posting on my new blog (http://eldritchepistles.blogspot.co.uk/). I'm happy to post them here too if people would prefer to see pics in this thread rather than follow a blog (it will also be on the Frothers forum). Here are some previews:



















cheers,
Steve

-sigh- I remember those models. I see them every time I take a flip through my realm of chaos books  ;D ;D ;D

Those were happier times...

Love those knights! Talk about memory lane, I look at a lot of those minis on your blog and still have the White Dwarf mags that they were advertised in. Do you have any more pics of the chariot?


Amazing blog,

While this is a WONDERFUL collection of BEAUTIFULLY painted retro pieces, it is even more a glimpse into the Craft/Hobby as it once was. GREAT STUFF!

It sure did seem that way!

Lovely blog and very much filled with wonderful nostalgia. I love the character of the old miniatures, it's rare to see that with a lot of the ranges now days.

No, but I'm hoping to get some detail shots if the opportunity presents itself.
