[Archive] Figure Trade

Kera foehunter:

I've removed the fighting. Any more on this matter will come with more serious consequences.

Darn I was reading that!

Kera I will participate in the Model swap, I actually have an extra demonsmith I think I will paint up.

For me !! how sweet:hat off

Or not ??

Chico:

Arhhh thanks for clearing that up Kera hun.

Bolg:

You will send an unpainted figure to the person that i will draw
for you
then i will draw another person  that will send an unpainted to you and you will send it back Painted

Kera foehunter
ahh I also didnt get it, I thought you send someone a painted model and got another model back from someone else. But you get your own model back all painted.

Sorry, in my mind it was cooler, so count me out.

ryanamandaanna:

yeah… not quite what I was thinking, either. Sounds like a lot of unnecessary postage; I rather liked the idea of picking a model that I have, painting it, and sending it to someone. One of the cool things about getting something from Tjub, for instance, is his unique style, which is more than just the painting.

bas_2312:

Looks like the confusion wasn’t that strange ;p

Wouldn’t it be way more fun to paint a model for another forum member instead of just sending him a mini? I mean if there’s a mini I want I could get it from Ebay…

ryanamandaanna:

yeah, I suppose it works either way, but with the prior method, you pay postage twice. I’m in regardless.

I am in even if I would prefer that method, too. One time postage would be much less confusing and the time scale with postage from Australia to Europe to the Americas is sometimes way long.

Here is how it is done for some years in the ChestofColor-forum:
(quote) "There are many different ways to organise mini exchanges. We have decided to base ours on a format seen on the Reaper forum. Every participant receives a name and address of another participant (chosen randomly) and paints a mini for that person. That means that no one (apart from one of the organisers who is selecting 'pairs') knows who is painting for who. Yes, we do like the element of surprise and receiving gifts!"

Less postage and more fun, I would go for that (:

Chico:

I would love seeing a figure i have chosen and put love and care into either converting or just a stunning paint job sitting in there army or just on a shelve. Also the surprise of waiting for a package to come not knowing whats in it would be a added bonus.

Last system described is how it has been done on the warhammer empire for as well. If that’s the way we do it

I’m in.

Lets do it this way, it gives us all a chance on a real Blue in VT painted model!!!

(ans still less postage)

Blue in VT:

aww schucks…:hat off

What I like about this system is that you can get to know your Victim…errr receiver and their army and try to paint something that fits in with their style…its good kind of forces you out of your comfort zone…like if I drew G2s name you could actually see me paint a big hat! :o

…the sacrifices we make…

:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Cheers,

Blue

G.2:

@ blue : I would love to see you paint a Big Hat. If you did, I would be willing to paint one of those really “old school” minis you like so much, you know … the ones with “little” hats. :slight_smile:

devlanmud:

The way blue and blog are suggesting would be more fun for me as I’d be trying to find a model and paint to match an existing scheme.

Kera foehunter:

I see less grumbling ! This work out better than trying to do a Golden Hat comp

I put up the names who in the contest so far this weekend.

carry on

Bolg:

So no change S: ?

This message was automatically appended because it was too short.

Kera foehunter:

Maybe ?? as i was thinking today ! when i was at work .

that would be paying postage twice. So do you want to admin . the rule ??

To say Custom paint and or convert figure on a 20mm stand then send the figure

to the person that you drawed…

see I’am fair

fairoaks024:

that sounds good too, saves postage and what you get will be a surprise

regards

jim

Chico:

Love it. Gonna start of mine straight away i think, Have a lovely mini which doesn’t fit my theme for my own army but will look amazing in someone elses.

DAGabriel:

Great, let us start!
