edonil Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Wow, looks like you were right in the blast wave of maelstrom exploding! Azumi is a lovely model though. I think mine is still in England, I only brought a few out just in case my shipping went AWOL. Although rather stupidly I did include the one that sold out really fast, the original archer dryad girl, Ar Fienel. If that had sunk, I'd have been somewhat stuffed! And kickstarters are the latest and greatest source of evil! What now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hopefully some good as well. You just need to block out the cries of wounded and dying bank accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Maelstrom are going bust rather messily, lots of unfilled orders, annoyed customers, annoyed suppliers, that kind of thing. So to dump all their saleable assets, they sold it off at massive discounts. Azumi and Ar Fienel are tiny pretty McVey models, and Ar Fienel sold out really quick so she's impossible to get now. Which made putting her in a shipping container a touch silly... And I speak only truth, kickstarters are evil! Heh ---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ---------- I suppose you can't build an economic empire without slaughtering a few bank accounts here and there...

Mako Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Woo hoo! Today, with no sleep, I was in work at 6.30 and not only got some good reading done, but I've managed to scrounge up all the kit I need for my side experiments! Have finished a full days work so come home, and tomorrow I will don my stained lab coat and do SCIENCE!!!! It needed to be shouted loudly, that last bit. Honestly, it really did.

Dustcrusher Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 hrmm,.. not sure where around here to get some retarder,.. wonder if they sell it a Micheal's? They have retarder and flow medium and glaze medium, but I don't know if they have that brand...I've not noticed it there. A 10:1 mix of water to flow medium gives my normal paints increased work time without jacking them up too much. I should probably do something fancier. [ATTACH=CONFIG]9048[/ATTACH] This is an early piece of the art Hmm, if Death looked like that, there'd be a higher suicide rate. Just found these...yet another temptation. Thinking a SoBH warband akin to my 15mm leonines, or a rival nation for my Alkemy Khalimans: http://cart.blackorc.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70. They also have the Simian Empire- monkey Romans! (shut up, I am not a furry! :-P) Rebel Minis is having a 20% off sale for the next few days (they have a lot of nice 15mm stuff and are the company behind Mighty Armies. They sell MA boxed sets of Splintered Light minis, too). Then there's this- I think I am going to chip in $10 for a rulebook no matter what, because a Final Fantasy Tactics/Tactics Ogre/Makai/Disgaea minis game screams "bestest game evar" to me. Damn it, I was hoping to budget a few more bucks for some of the upcoming Malifaux stuff but otherwise not spend much for quite a while...perhaps if I clear out a bunch of my old things I might feel better about it... Meanwhile, I'm still undecided on faction for the Malifaux tourney coming up, Peelander-Z is coming to town, and now I'm screwing around with the idea of a Fantasy Warriors/Kings of War hybrid- basically using the latter's combat mechanics with the former's order system, scouting, and missile ammo mechanics, among others.

Mako Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Today's gone so well, I think I might have to skip sleep more often!

edonil Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Ha! That's a laugh! We'll see how it all goes, honestly. Could be good, could be bad. Glad to hear that you're finally making progress on stuff! Oh, and your FOR SCIENCE thing reminded me of Girl Genius, a webcomic that you need to read cause it's awesome.

Mako Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yup, now the only thing that can stop the experiment from working is the laws of nature! Curse them...

edonil Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 So, how long do you expect before it'll show some results (positive or negative)? Oh, and apparently I'm organizing Nano here in Erie...mainly because no one else is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Whoops, popped your head up into the firing line for that one a bit didn't you? Oh, I'll have some data tomorrow, it's a pretty quick experiment. If the setup and calibration goes ok, I can probably start looking at the real surface in the afternoon.
