It is now live on eBay, and the link is posted over in the Classifieds.

Thanks for the pointer!

Hey Richard:  if you decide to sell 10-517 Dr. Mordenheim's Laboratory, I'd be interested!

i hope somebody can help me out with the following issue: as far as i have gathered, many of the 11-xxx models by ral partha were modeled not only after characters from the ad&d line but also after specific paintings / drawings (one such instance being the baakesh va painting by elmore).

i have recently bought the skeletal giant (11-496) mib for cheap (5 €), but can't remember what the title of the painting is on which that mini is based -- parkinson, maybe, albeit i didn't find said painting in any of his galleries.



a female ranger/warrior with a bow ready to fire an arrow encounters two skeletal giants in a snowy area, that is the scene if i recall correctly -- any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

It's on the cover of Dragon No. 126

If I could figure out how to paste the cover pic out of my Dragon Mag Archive, I'd do so. But here is the blurb describing it:

"COVER
Daniel Horne said the scene on his cover painting takes place on a frozen tundra. The sun is setting, the hoar frost is glittering like thousands of pieces of broken glass.” A ranger in the service of the High King has just been attacked by the undead remains of one of her old opponents — a frost giant who has waited a long time for this moment of revenge. Having lost her sword and used up her normal arrows, the ranger has a single elven arrow left from which comes the painting’s name: "Saving the Best for Last."

superb, thanks a lot to both of you!

funny how despite the fact that these two are not exactly identical (now that i get to see it again), i immediately associated the mini with the image.

ooh, great stuff -- i think i'd go with one of the naked chicks, though.

In my boxes of stuff from storage I found a painted miniature that I think might be Ral Partha:

It is a figure of The Death Dealer (horned helmet, axe, on a black horse) by Frazetta.

Is it Ral Partha?  Is it considered cool in any way?

as to your first question, i have no idea -- but cool it definitely is.

mike, thanks for the info -- if it wasn't so far away, i'd go monday -- but there should be enough left to loot over the coming weeks.

These aren't exactly the best condition minis, but these prices are very different than a year ago when they seemed to average about $100.00 each.
