Miniature Exchange #4 - Sign up!
- Thread starter Frustrated Father
- Start date
Well, I received my package from rex_lyver last week. This was my first chance to post.
A while ago I read a thread about someone seeking advice for their first dragon to paint. In the thread someone mentioned McFarlane Dragons. I did some research and ended up collecting the entire first series from ebay. My original thought was to do repaints. When they arrived, I found them to be quite nice as they are. I have ben wrestling with whether I should attemt a repaint or not.
Then I opened my package only to find the very McFarlane dragon I was considering doing a repaint on. It is already primed and I have started painting it.
The picture here is of the original one in my collection and appears as it does out of the box.
In addition to the wonderful dragon, I received a bunch of Star Wars figs, a nice succubus, a great dwarf and some sort of space marine (I\'m not real familiar with the sci fi stuff).
Though generous, this is way more than I will get to paint for a while.
Any body that knows anything about my tastes won\'t be surprised to hear that the dragon will be my first challenge, and I have already started.
Thanks so much Rex. The dragon will be my first non-metal paint job.

that\'s not a space marine, it\'s a sister of battle, also from 40k.....sort of like a female space marine without all the implants and super strength and stuff like that

Ok, then you can be an honorary member! lol.
So I checked the delievery confirmation on the figures I sent, and they were delieverd 10 days ago! Still no response from angus, so I hope all is well, and he is just busy. Either that or the figures I sent were just that bad - hahahhah. I tried to include one from each of the last four decades. Edit - he got in touch with me! All is well!
As to the figures I am painting... I cleaned them all now, and continue on the vic haley (skin is done - woo hoo, of course there is only like 2 mm of skin on the whole model, but hey \"the skin is done\" sounds so much better).
peace

Phil (Rev) the miniatures popped in here yesterday.
Nice selection of miniatures and definitly different from my norm but I\'m quite keen on a couple of them. I would post pictures here but one of them I\'m debating getting painted up real quick for the Total Testosterone contest. We\'ll see if I have the time.
Thanks, and appreciate it.

Can I still sign up
This is my first post, I know, but I\'m vissiting the forum often.
Please let me know if I still can, I live in the Netherlands, Heerlen.
If I can still sign up, what do I have to do? Paint minis I recieve from another, right? And I send minis of MYSELF to another so he will paint them for ME. And I\'ll get them back of course?
So you don\'t BUY and paint for someone else, you RECIEVE, paint en send him back his minis, right?
Please let me know, I sticked at page 3 from 14 in this topic

Hi TML,
Welcome to the forums.
No, you don\'t get your minis back.
You pick some minis that you have laying about, and think someone else may be able to do something with (though some people go out and buy new stuff just for this exciting exchange), and send it to them to paint. They paint them, display what they\'ve done here (hopefully), and keep them.
By the same token, another person sends a mini (or some minis) to you, and you paint it, display it, and keep it.
It\'s great fun.

Ah, okay, like that!
So you just send something to someone, and you can see what he made of it! And you just wait for someone else to send you some minis (not knowing which one) and show him/her what you made of it in the end!
Thanks for explaining me, sounds like great fun indeed!
Could you please tell me if I can still sign up, cause I would like to!
The second post in this topic says that the list of who is going to send what to who will be posted 24 Juli, and it isn\'t yet, so is it still posible?

Cheers FF! Glad everything arrived. So, with the TT competition in mind, will you probably be painting the 3-legged hippo mutant that carries a sling and pea-shooter? Aggressive piece that one lol

I was thinking more along the lines of the transvestite that could affectionately be known as \'tri-pod\'.

I just got back from holiday in the US yesterday and only checked in with CMON just now so I was a bit ???? when I read of people already having received their Exchange #4 figures elsewhere, sorry, sucky timing or what?!
Did I get skipped over or are things still in play?
