I was just looking through some of my old stuff and found a cache of old miniatures from the late 70's. The paint jobs are terrible, and many of them have broken weapons, but it's awesome to find them again. I had repainted a large share of my old lead 5-6 years ago, but had missed these.
Some finds: 6 'Red Martian" figures from a John Carter line. The paint jobs are particularly terrible (I was 12 when I painted them) and all 6 sword are broken as well as 5 of 6 daggers. I think I used them as human bandits mostly.
Some interesting LOTR hobbits. One particularly interesting one is a set of 2 hobbits, one standing on the others shoulders, both leaning on a spear.
A bunch of LOTR rohirrim, that had heavy use as human fighters back in the old days. Most have broken weapons.
Some interesting archers, might be orcs, might be undead.
2 orc standard bearers, standards snapped off. I glued on some long-handled axes.
A bunch of dwarves and gnomes.
I reckon I have a new project, rebasing, re-arming and re-priming the lot.
