About Me

About me: My name is Richard Dunstan and I first discovered miniatures in the early 90's, when I was nine years old. My brother and I would love going to Games Workshop with whatever money we could earn from doing jobs for our parents in loved Warhammer Fantasy Battles more than anything. We both still collect, paint and play regularly and are still working on some of our original army projects: I'm currently trying to get my giant oldhammer skaven army painted and based to my current level but it's a mammoth task with well over 200 models to paint. 

Amongst the armies I collect are: Empire, Skaven, Undead/Vampire Counts, Chaos Space Marines, Rogue Trader Era Genestealer cults, Imperial Guards, Orks and Squats. My favourite sculptor of all time is Jes Goodwin for his amazing Skaven and Ogre ranges! It would be a dream of mine for him to sculpt even more!

I have been actively selling doubles and parts of collections I buy to fund buying more for myself and really love the community and hearing about what everyone's plans are for their models and armies. This has inspired me to create my own store as I'd love to turn it into a business but still keeping the core values of charging decent prices, so hopefully I will achieve this.

Postage, Returns and Pricing strategy

I aim to keep postage as cheap as possible. Unlike most eBay items, postage isn’t added into the price for each miniature so to buy one item and then postage on top, it might come out as being a bit more expensive or the same price as eBay prices;however, if you buy two models, you’d probably be saving money, and three definitely, etc. I hope that makes sense.

Based and sending from the UK

I'm now posting to Europe, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and The United States:

PLEASE NOTE, SINCE THESE ARE SALES OF GOODS, YOU MAY BE LIABLE TO PAY CUSTOMS AND VAT ON ARRIVAL IN YOUR COUNTRY (basically I don’t want to get in trouble for sending things as gifts so please keep this in mind before ordering).

Returns: if you’re not happy with any item, I’ll gladly pay for return postage and also refund you obviously.

Buying Collections or Lots of Miniatures

Getting hold of collections of miniatures is often the hardest part of running a second-hand miniature store. I am of course very interested in buying collections off people, both to sell and to add to my own collections. I would like to say though that if you want to get the best money for something, you should try selling it yourself. Both the Oldhammer identification, valuations and trading group on Facebook and the separate Oldhammer trading group on Facebook are great places to sell Oldhammer models. The former is also great when it comes to people helping you correctly identify and value you your miniatures. I normally can afford to pay around 50% of the market value for large lots, maybe more if I feel the store really needs it but when I say market value, I mean the sold prices, not the crazy price-gouging prices. Anyhow, if you decide you don’t want to sell them yourself, email me at Fullmetaldunstan@yahoo.com I’m particularly interested in Oldhammer and metal models. But seriously, selling them yourself is always the best option.
