3rd annual TFF figure exchange

[Saebelsultan]

Nevermind the base, I just re-do it.
Hope mine gets to you in one piece. Tracker says it got go the States last weekend. Has it arrived yet?

[Wifflebat]

Just finished putting the last bit of varnish on mine! I made the deadline!*

*Assuming the deadline is to finish and ship the mini, not to have it in the hands of the receiver, and since there's no shipping on Sunday, it has to be delayed until Monday.
Only common sense, right?

I am glad it got there in one piece.

No probs, Post Office says 5 workings days for delivery so if you haven't got my package to you by this time next week let me know.

Saebelsultan, we just got back from a vacation trip and there is a package being held at post office. So that might be it, will let you know soon.

[DixonCider]

huge snowstorm, added a few extras in, sending today. apologies to those waiting on this

I was right, Saebelsultan's mini was waiting at the post. I picked it up, and it just happens to be one of the key pieces to a favorite team of mine. A mummy! This is the first time I've seen the Willy mummy sculpt in person and has me thinking I might end up replacing the rest of mine. I was hesitant to pick up any of the Willy minis because I've heard a lot of complaints of them being too big. He looks like the perfect size to me. Saebelsultan's paint job is really nice and the pictures probably won't do it justice. I really liked the antiquing on the brass bits. I find I pretty much always learn something when I see someone else's painted mini and this one is very cool indeed. What did you use to top the base off with? Green stuff?

Thanks again, the Cryptown Corpsers now have a new Mummy to lead them in the field!

[Saebelsultan]

Thanks a lot, faust!
I like the brassy bits too. For the antique look I used GW Nihilak Oxide.
Concerining the bases, I put a strip of sticky tape (the paper like one you use when painting walls and such) over the slit. Then I make a small cut in that and put the mini in place. That way I don't have gaps left and right of the mini. Then I put glue over the base and dip it into bird sand. Let it dry and paint in a desired color. After that maybe put some gras on it or such. Done!

No more action on the exchange front? Anybody else get theirs?

[DixonCider]

I was told mine should be across the pond and delivered early this week. Canada Post is always generous on times though. Has anyone else received anything lately?

[Spiky]

This was waiting for me when I got home today! Thanks Dixoncider
I always assumed from your forum name you were from Bristol... lovely model who will be used as Ripper Bolgrot next season if Glowworm tells me I'm using Goblins! Hopefully your present will be with you in the next day or so! Thanks also for the dice!

[DixonCider]

glad to see it made it. may the dice roll well for you

[Loki]

Any sign of my package to you Tim?

[TlawsonTim]

Not yet, I'll check when I get home from work tonight. I am off Friday so I'll be home waiting.
