Hey all, a little bit of bragging- noticed an ordinatus armageddon on ebay with very few bids and 15 mins left.  So i bid ?15, never thinking Id win it for a minute.  

Guess what- ?10.50 it went for with 3.50 postage!!! I am seriously waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one!!  

Anyway, assuming everything goes to plan and this isnt a scam (as there was no picture,just a description of a good condition ordinatus) I will be putting it up for trade/sale here.  Ive never been fond of the model, but I reckoned there would be fellows here that would like one.

ps- listing is here just so you can point out if ive missed some crucial little detail on the listing!

Given the lack of photo and the fact that it's unpainted white metal rather than lead, it may well be a recast.

Well, considering that's, I believe, the fifth one he's sold in as many weeks, he, prior to that, won an auction of his own for the same type of Ordinatus as well as this. (Quality Casting Metal Tin/Lead 3 bars 375grams) I'm afraid to say you've probably won a knock-off...

Ordinatus fever is the best way to describe it!  Well, ill get it anyway and post pics and take it from there.  Give him the benefit of the doubt for now...

Well, it looks like he is a recaster.  And not even a good one.  Heres some photos with the suspect bits marked, thoughts?  Can anyone point me at a good picture of mint ordinati so I can use that to back up getting a refund.

Worst cast bit.  Gaps in the lead and poor details.


Poor detailing


Poor detailing again and a hole in the top left bit


All in all pretty crap!
