......on the Kindness of Strangers....A Huge Thank You.

[Dragonsreach]

Yesterday I was treat to one of the most unexpected and generous occurrences of my (somewhat) long life.

Lee (10 Ball) arranged to meet up with me before we all went into Salute, so we clustered together outside the hall were he proceeded to give me a gift which had been organised between several of the members of this community!

Although, according to Lee, the instigator(s) wanted to remain anonymous the gift itself has identified them to me!


THANK YOU ALL!
I am immensely touched and so deeply grateful for your generosity and kindness.
The lump in my throat is still there this morning as I'm writing this.

I have been a member on here since 2001 and privileged to be a moderator for a number of years and seen some good things within this community, but this has taken my breath away!




For those of you not in this secret I was given this:-

Plus a sizeable amount of money, which was put towards a lot of new items from Freebooter.


Sonce again to all you wonderful people who were in on this THANK YOU

Well earned, mate.

It's nice when people restore your faith in human kindness. I've not been on here a month yet but have read a lot of your posts and it's nice to see you're getting something back from the community for it.

Definately well deserved...so does this mean we will get to see another Dragonsreach wip?

Possibly as I've just prep'd another Freebooter figure yesterday evening.
"Crazy Perez" very nice dynamic and 'open' sculpt.
(She's one of a very large amount of Freebooter figures that this generosity contributed towards, and I mean Large Amount!)
But I will not make any promises.

"HoneyBee" however, well she definitely will be a labour of love.

Can't say I was in on this, but would love to have been. I've only been here a year and a half, but I've got to know a lot of good folks since then, and I remember you since my first week. Always there with helpful advice and a lifetime of experience. When I think of CoolMini, I think DR immediately.

She would be an interesting one to do a wip on as she has flow in her pose

The last wip thread you did was very informative and gave the figure a more realistic look in the end.
