Tracy, your efforts will certainly be needed. With the light this morning (after a harrowing night for gale force winds) we awoke to the largest Red Cross disaster response in US history. What didn\'t look too bad yesterday is turning out to be a horrible disaster today. The Red Cross will need all the help it can get.

I have a very high feedback on Ebay and will be glad to put any minis up for auction for painters at no cost to them (paypal fees, ebay costs would be free). The money would be donated directly to the Red Cross in the name of the painter and the highest bidder. I would use the featured auction on CMON with full credit to the painter and cause for the duration of the auction, then delete it as soon as the auction ended.

We survived Katrina with little damage here in our part of Alabama, but know what it is to go through a bad hurricane (Ivan last year and Opal several years ago). Let us know if we can help.

Hi just got in from work and it is thrilling to see this thread...
@pitynoman, Gin1906 and Braveheart Thank you all so very much ! Please email me your address again please I am starting a separate group like the round robin where i can mass mail and it will save me a bit of time if you all do not mind :D
@Tim you are one fast man. Don\'t burn yourself out ok. Yes:)... I should know better... you are more productive in one week than I am in 6 months
Tonight we finish the web site and get us going live.
Thank you Ann....Any one that wishes to take you up on this I will be happy to highly endorse you. Our business dealings together where such a pleasure to me. Also if you wish to join us painting let me know There is power in numbers. I would love to have you.

Hiya,

I\'d like to be in, but can someone else host the auction for me if we\'re doing individual auctions? I can host the pics and do all the CMON listing etc. I list a few a week usually and I\'d like it to be distinguished from the stuff I auction to pay my rent - half the time (judging by questions I get) people just don\'t read the auction text so I\'d hate for someone to get the wrong idea and think the mini they bought was going to charity when instead it was buying my groceries...

I\'m just about to paint up a Drycha character who I can add to the cause.

I missed the Paint Aid thing (although auctioned a few figures for the cause anyway in Jan or Feb I think), and would like to help out here.

Hi Rachel
Why yes we are sending out the minis and hosting the auction as a family effort So all you need do is email me your address and I will send you an elf then you paint it and mail it back with 3.00 in the box or by pay pal or what ever that will help pay the pay pal fees which is all we will be responsible for on a 100% donation Auction
Drake: Yes I know what I sent you :D
Glade Guard...
We have that as the first Troop cause they were prepped and cleaned for DM OF Doom to paint before all this happened. We have them numbered assembled to rank up & primed (white hope no one minds).
So all you have to do is double check our work and paint. Can not guarantee to do that all the time but you all offered the fastest so you get the reward.

Troop minis
+++Colors you ask Spring.
Why ?...because we have watched ebay and the regular joe pays more for spring green I guess cause it looks like the box.... really I am serious. There will be the exact color and chart to convert for all types of paint on web site.
+++Spring green Where? .... only the cloaks/cape will be in a consistent color on the the troop sets.
+++Why? cause the effort to match minis is not worth the time they do not end up all alike anyways and it cramps the style and creativity thus causing stress not worth it.
+++Bases? include some sand some where we will give a color to paint the sand then we will stay consistent. other than that create you want rocks, leaves, just no snow ok?
Weapons+++ metallics with washes or wood grain.
Then
Character pieces They will be sold individually like the Standard bearer, Orion, spellsinger....so..No rules...Please do what you are inspired and excel at. We do not wish to make a full army at once therefore you all have your freedom.

I follow the news to keep up with what\'s happening! It\'s awful!! :( Sadly, what little spare time I have I\'ve dedicated to the upcoming Paint Aid project, so I\'ll not be able to help on this. I\'m glad to see so many others willing to help, though.

Dave what Charity is really helping the most??? ... Will you keep your ears perked, I assume Red cross but I can not stand Assuming anything.
Gosh I am glad you are OK Dave. Some of the people I know they have no idea if relatives are OK because of the lack of ways to communicate. I see fear in faces and there is nothing I can say to really
It would be foolish to try.

Feedback please...
This looks good indeed....It is supported by no religion and is ranked highly by Forbes 98% and has a direct way to help the hurricane needs not just a general fund.

Second Harvest

Dave thanks very much, I just want the effort to help as much as possible with out offending anyone.
I will see if they are registered on MissionFish!
 
Cool thanks Tracy. Good to know. Just went over to the GW site and perused the Wood elf section. They have a Wood Elf Glade Guard Painting guide, but after looking at them up close the painting was/is not all that good.

Keeping fingures crossed for everyone in the storm area.

I got some questions: I would like to paint one of the WE characters, I have some old WE (1987 year of production) are they ok?or should I buy some new models? And where(and when) I should send my finished minis?
ps. sorry for my english...
 
If its not too late I\'d like to help out by painting a mini.
Just one thing I\'d like to mention is that I\'ve found space marines sell for more and get the most interest. But i guess its a little too late for that now. Anyway yeah...anything i can do?
