I found some Rospak hoplites in a drawer. Only 35 years old !
Do I use them ? Or sell them and use the proceeds to buy better-detailed 'modern' figures. But their style is actually quite appealing and easy to paint. Votes either way ?

Yeah – use them! I waited for the range to expand…and then it didn't…and I couldn't get them ! Always thought they looked really nice. |

Use them, they're pretty decent sculpts for 35 year old models. |

Never heard of them. What is the background story on them? |

They came out inn the 80's if I remember right. I remember plassieviking buying some and painting them up. Greek hoplites, advancing with separate arms and standing, both with separate shields, peltasts, some greek light cavalry. I can't remember if they'd moved on to Republican Romans before they disappeared? They were mostly nice sculpts and cheaper than metal figures at the time. If I remember right, it was a long time ago, they were bought out by one of the metal manufacturers and consigned to deep storage!! |

They'd moved on to Imperial Romans, but not Republicans according to link |

Get new ones … The investment in miniatures is the time to paint them. If you are going to paint 150 hoplites, don't you want the best? Thucydides |

If you can get a good enough price you could sell them and buy new figures. My view is that it is more of a hassle to go through the sale and buying new ones. If you like them why dump them? |
