I just got my box of goodies from Gi6ers, lots of really cool stuff in there, including a resin turkey??!! Also got "face girl" and some other wonderful treats. I have some really fun painting to do.
Matt -- let us know if you like what I sent you!
FaceGirl as in the huge Gorget or another face girl instead?
Face Girl:

:D
FaceGirl it is (wow, I could even make her into a board portrait if GimpMask Fetish Girl didn't look so cool :)).
If you want to try and copy what I did with the eys the trick is to do them first and then paint the face around them. I didn't extend the circle up onto the eyelids but having the empty space there makes it easier to visualise and also drawing the straight line of the eyelid across the top is so much easier than trying to tidy it up after part of the eye's overlapped ont it.
Feel free to share your finished version with us too :).
Sounds good, now I am excited about seeing cheddar's next workbench update!
I think armed bunny man might edge face girl farther back in the queue...
cool glad you liked it, next batch is being collected, don't buy the BS pirates :icon_cool:
the resin is cool isn' it
Yes, it is neat! A turkey, who'd have thunk?? and, those are sausages or bologna sticks, aren't they? My wife thought they were candles, but I thought they were too big.
Also, great fun on those nurgle champions! Loads of character! And the yetis, they're going close to the front of the painting queue!
yup, sausages...they are from a tamiya set.
Fabian and I have just struck a deal, so he's going to be in on our Hawkman Challenge!
So, considering what you sent me, fair trade?
Eh... I had fun packing those off and sending them to you, I know you'd appreciate them! As for fair... :shrug: dunno. Not fussed too much. You'll see when you get the box from me. You did send me cool stuff that made me happy, and you've been generous in our trades so far! :cm
David, thanks so much, got my massive box of stuff today WOW!
PM on the way...
There were so many beautiful Warlord dwarfs to choose from, I picked what I thought you'd like (and assumed youdidn't arready have them!) And the brewer set, I thought would be right at home with your dwarf world; are they a little small, or is the scale right??
I'm delighted you like the stuff!
All of it is spot on mate great choices, read your PMs
I guees I need to check to see what I hav in the pile for trades too.
Nifty! I have Fabian's stuff all boxed up, I'll hit the post office today!
Cool! Thanks, David. Yours is on its way. :icon_cool:
How does this work exactly?
Is there some set of rules I have missed, as I'd like to ahve a trade with someone but don't know the guidelines.
Just chat in PMs about it really, say "I've got this, would you like it? I would like x, y, z, do you have any?" e.g. I wanted Cheddar's spare Hawkman, and I asked what he would like and I happened to have a couple of minis that fitted the bill. A gentleman's agreement followed.
Also post figure's you are wanting rid of and want you want or the type of one's you want in return and you sort it out and each other and post them off.
You each pay for the postage of the one you are sending and i think it's best for both to send it signfor\recorded and state it's a gift and don't state too high a price for the package or the reciver get's hit with custom duty's when they get it, right Cheddar. :icon_wink:
Yup, always a gift when sending overseas... shhh...
Yeah, sorry, Wristy! I think he got stuck with a 30 pound customs bill or something...
By the way, Hawky and Enora are on their way; I mailed them out during lunch!

Just post a wishlist and someone will chime in, Cheddar asked me for some stuff from Salute and it ended up with me getting him some stuff from the UK and he got me a bunch of reaper and Darksword. Between that and winning an ebay auction for 18 reaper blisters my lead mountain is lookin good :icon_cool:
Lovely Trade with Matt, aka Gi6ers, thanks mate, he's being assembled and primed as we speak.
Get those wishlists up and updated guys. I am going to get into the fray soon. I finally started going through all those boxes of lead.
Woooohooo!!! I just received another package of goodies from Gi6ers!! Black Scorpion pirates, cowboys, gals, and a sprue of skulls! Thanks, Matt!! :icon_w00t: :cm
Oh, and I got a note from the mailman, my box from Wristy is at the post office! (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y111/Cheddarmonger/wristysmilie.gif)
Glad you like them mate, they were just going to sit in my lead pile. Enjoy!!
so... a co-worker just gave me a pile of ancient Ral Partha and Grenadier stuff, mostly human heroes and humanoid monsters... anybody into that stuff?
Great parcels from both Gi6ers and Wristy, thanks guys, I'm over the moon!!!
Forgot to mention, I got my dragons! They're beautiful! Wow, I have my work cut out for me...
Thanks, Bruenor!
Not a problem mate, I'm over the moon with the stuff you sent me, most of it's undercoated ready to paint already, and I only got the box today after work.
Excellent! Looking forward to seeing it painted up. Yes, there's lots of fun stuff there, but I'm starting to look at my collection in terms of, "what am I really going to get around to paint?"
are you planning a scenic base for the Charon model?
and, sorry 'bout the sloppy base job on that balrog fella!
Got that Inca guy painted yet Cheddar, he was based and primed when you got him. :icon_wink:
Ooh, that's a good one; yeah, I should paint him!
I found him, he actually isn't Inca, he's a Foundry Spartan Officer.
I started him with just a simple base as that was all he seemed to need, maybe a few plants to set it off.

Not to worry mate, nothing a bit of flock and grass won't sort out.
Not too sure on a base for Charon, but something will spring to mind, I'm sure.
