This limited edition from Citadel in the 1980s became very rare as they withdrew it very quickly from sale.



I painted the fuel tank in Soviet colours as the painted model in White Dwarf at the time had its fuel tank painted with the stars and stripes and I didn't think I could get the lines straight.

It is probably now one of my favourite models of all time and I now wish I had not sold it on eBay a few years back...

It should be noted that this was in fact a fantasy model and pre Warhammer 40K...hence the wooden wheel, though the back wheel was from a Judge Dredd model.

Hi!

It seems a lot of real old GW figs arent as valuable as they used to be. In fact they seem to be gotten quite cheap.

Why is that?

In my opinion there are three main reasons.

GWUS opened their archive allowing anyone to get hold of older miniatures, this diluted the supply of miniatures, especially the older rarer miniatures.

There has been a plethora of copies and fakes which have again resulted in a dilution of supply.

Another reason maybe that people saw how much money these miniatures were going for and decided to sell the ones they had in their collection.

I also think that the kudos of old miniatures as a result has fallen.

There may also be less collectors out there or have complete collections

Hi!

Agreed. Especially the issue with the copies. I have seen that mentioned on other forums as well.
