Star Wars Miniatures... well, sort of. Dragon Miniatures from the late 70's

 

First advertised in White Dwarf No.5 (February 1978 then each issue until issue 9), Dragon Miniatures released their 'Star Lords' range of 'not' Star Wars miniatures. Very crude sculpts but, as always, right up my alley and I adore them! Old school is sometimes the best school. If there isn't an image (or it's a broken/miscast mini) then it's one I'm after (trade or dirty cash).

I believe these two are from the range although no markings... the painted one is justgoing into the strip vat to see if I can find anything. I originally thought they were bugbears of some sort but noticed the guns they came with...

Northern Militaire 1977... I was just about to turn 16.

Just found some old Battle magazines that I had stored at my mum's. I remember buying these at the time... more to follow at some point. Northern Militaire was the highlight of my year... I didn't know about anything local to Manchester and certainly didn't think about travelling around the country on my own back then... I led a very sheltered life unless it involved camping out somewhere for Motorhead tickets...

Files should be large enough to save and then peruse at your leisure if you can't read them here...

November 6th 1977 - next day was my 17th birthday 'Happy Birthday to me...'

Also found a later advert (Military Modelling March 1988) for a 'Dragon Miniatures' Dwarf Chariot - now me and my pal Boki Gromdal over at Stunties can't work out if this is a different 'Dragon Miniatures' to the one we've already posted pics of (Stunties and Lost Minis) - addresses are different parts of the island for sure - if anyone has any ideas please let me know as we haven't got a clue.....
