I remember this.... was it ever sold? I guess it must have been as it's a three year old thread? Surprised it was never updated with the result though. How much did they eventually make? There's some nice figures there :)

Well, it's nearly 3 1/2 years after they were done.

To my knowledge they still haven't been sold and the Vostroyan bubble will have well and truly burst by now

I think with respect to those who painted stuff for this, bought figures and posted them to others, and who didn't enter into GD that year because of this commitment, a public update would be appreciated. I know there were issues behind the scenes, but that was well over a year ago. Something must be resolved!!!

I want to raise my frustration (ohhh-errr) in public because I don't want it to be another 3 years before someone bumps this thread.

Bloody hell was it really 2006 when I last painted and finished something???:tremble!:

Oh wait no I think it was 2007 when I did Anastasia the bride...

Wow! not sold! lol.... wait a bit longer and you'll be able to sell them as antiques lol

Mike, that's a cheekily elaborate and cunning way of getting your Vostroyan army painted though :D

Orb: Your frustration is truely justified and its my fault.

Without going into the issues I'd been going through, now resolved, I should have shifted my backside a lot earlier.

As it stands, unless the participants want me to return the figures they supplied, I will have the Vostroyans up for sale in March this year.
The reason for selecting that month is to allow people to get over the Christmas splurge. Also allows me a bit of time to tart up the display base a bit.

I have to admit defeat here.
As I said earlier in the year I had plans to get these out by March.
However something happened in early February which dragged me into the worst depression I’ve been in for years. So much so, that I’d not touched or been able to face anything for months.
Although I’ve been fighting this state and had some rare good days, most of this year has been swallowed up with struggling against this darkness. It’s only been recently that things have started to get relatively better.

Although I’ve dealt with bouts of depression for most of my adult life, what I’ve used as my normal coping strategies have been overwhelmed in this instance. Even coming on to Coolminiornot was something I could barely be bothered with and that should tell you a lot. Which is probably why I missed “Jazz is for losers” request for an update on the Vostroyans.


I’ve received a request from one of the people involved for me to return their contribution, and to be honest this request has helped relieve some of this depression, my failure on these Vostroyans has, I now realise, been adding weight to my condition.
Their figure is now on the way back and I want to return all the other contributed pieces.

It’s not the resolution I (or we) had originally hoped for, but I realise that personal circumstances and other factors meant that I’d really bitten off more than I could chew. I should have asked for help, but stuubornly and stupidly, I didn’t.

To all the painters who provided their time and effort on this I can only apologise for my failure, you deserved better.

Please contact me via PM, to allow me to return your figure.
