How old !!!
Well, I have to say. I think I'm going to get the Victor Meldrew from "One Foot in the Grave" catchphrase, "I don't believe it!"
Yes the paints shown below are still in use.
Yes they are from the early 1980's.
Yes, just used the Hobgoblin Orange for highlights on my giant rats eyes ( a week ago).
Sounding like an old fart. Games Workshops don't make paints like they used to (the golden years). In fact the last paint I bought from them a couple years ago dried out within a year of purchase (shake fist at corporate business). In fact I think they are just screwing their customers. I mean (rant here), these paints are stored in a warm conservatory which gets very hot in the summer. however the lids seal the paints which have never dried out. Even after 30 years !!!
Well these days I'm a Vallejo model, air & game colour man. Any paint recommendations please post in the comments.

On this forum http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=294810 another thumbs up for old Citadel Colour paints from the 80's. Ah, those were the days.
