MINIATURE BUYS PART 3 - THE MISTAKE - Ral Partha Citadel Grenadier DRAGONS

[@andrewgarrett3555]

The mini at 14:06 looks like the Platinum Dragon from the Dragons line from Heritage Models USA (or possibly the later Reaper-acquired version).

I see why you had to have them and also see why it was a mistake. Painted minis is probably the biggest reason I stopped buying (that and deciding that I did indeed have enough in my collection). I remember finding a really good formula online and one part was turpentine. I don't recall the rest of what went in it (probably milder stuff like water, mostly), but it was a great mixture for both taking the paint off of minis and also curing lead rot. I haven't seen any lead rot on your purchases yet, but you may eventually run into it. Lead minis will literally turn black and rot away when exposed to warm moist environments so be cautious of that. When storing my minis I always made sure I put those little anti-moisture packets in with them, just in case. Also beware of paint stripper. It's faster than turpentine but will melt plastic minis and I'm pretty sure it's too friendly with metal either.

Definitely a cool box, I like the bigger painted dragon. It looks like a pretty cool! And that has to be one of the most interesting packaging jobs I’ve ever seen🤣

[@Quarterbash]

"Interesting" LOL There really is some good stuff in there though. And a pile of mysteries for me to still figure out.

[@AlohaStacker]

Wow that is quite a package of minis! I don't know anything about such things! Maybe it will work out once you figure it all out! I hope so my friend and see you on the next one!

[@Quarterbash]

Thanks for watching! I'm listing 25 of these minis on eBay today, so we'll see how it turns out.

[@ChurchillGeoff]

grenadier figures always had dodgy bases

[@ChurchillGeoff]

and the dragons were always some assembly required I glued my fingers together multiple times with superglue trying to get wings in the right place

[@dennis9ustafsson]

Is a fun mistake a mistake? :)

[@itcamefromthenerdcave1669]

Wow...Some really great stuff there but as a collector/lover of old school minis, that packing job was hard to watch. You looked more like you were processing a crime scene than unpacking a treasure trove of minis! I've never left an eBay seller a negative feedback despite several deserving dummies but that would've gotten one from me. Anyway, great video and hoping you have a follow-up after you've reconstructed what all you have.

[@Quarterbash]

Thank you! I'm making most of my videos over on my other channel these days. It's called QUARTER FLIPS, and is more about selling. I did recently put up another miniature video over there: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpKbaImthNWKgs0

[@Wheel333]

Nice number of subs dude.

[@Quarterbash]

Thanks! I definitely thought so.

[@MonsterPainter]

So many dragons.

[@josephaulisio9281]
