I have been collecting, researching and writing about Citadel models from the 1980s for years, and still discover models and ranges I know nothing about.

I have only handled the monster a few times and the tiny bumps modelled on the back of the tail have already lost paint. It is strange, because I very rarely gloss my models and the paint remains undamaged even after many games. Not with the manticore though, so I shall most definitely be following your advice.

Unlike the manticore, there is more scope for different colour schemes on the various body parts but I HAVE to get my Tale of Four Gamers stuff finished first!Orlygghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01590080915486192175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-87997537125865493892016-01-12T01:21:23.192-08:002016-01-12T01:21:23.192-08:00I could do with more monsters and stuff.

I used to spend ages flicking through the archive catalogues in GW (they kept them near a computer or phone between about 1997 and 2001) and never saw that. The artwork form the book is one of my favourite pieces in the WHFRP rulebook.jlmbarneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134747074844332811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-9992601979764939232016-01-10T11:01:21.792-08:002016-01-10T11:01:21.792-08:00Beautiful work - your orange really did turn out w...Beautiful work - your orange really did turn out well.<br />I love that model - one of the greats of the 80's.
