ThePandaDirector Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Hello So I kind of went on a little spending spree, that started when I found the Auscon Steampunk Dorothy on CMON. I started looking at other LE models and well.. here's the list.. for now: Auscon Steampunk Dorothy - Always loved Steampunk, but beyond Wyrd I have no proper steampunk minis, she's perfect. She may join my future Hoffman crew (Hans?)Necromancer (Bobby Jackson sculpt) - I love necromancers and this one is so original and characterful. I think I may convert it - if I dare - and use it as an alternative Leveticus/McMourning.Girl in Bunny Suit - Not my usual kind of purchase, but I had a great idea for a cool diorama.Monkey with Flamer - depending on scale he may join Bunny Girl in my diorama.Grace is Gone - Didn't like this 1st time I saw it, but its subtlety has grown on me and it's really cool. Going to paint it on a scenic base, possibly as a competition piece. EricJ's Female Cyborg Warrior will likely be one of my influences.Studio McVey Isabella - Love this model a lot, easy choice for me.Studio McVey Ar-Fiach - Another beautiful mini, love the contrast of steampunk with fantasy - gun/coat with face/hair - though I've never been a fan of "impractical" basing i.e. chimneys, so I may change that.Studio McVey Ruby - Yes I finally caved in, just too good to resist, though I want to paint her like no one else has... So that's it, 8 models for over £100. It'll sting, but hopefully when I get them in hand I won't regret it. At least they'll increase in value. I think I'll try and actually get some models - Ortegas, Seamus, etc - finished (started) before I purchase my Hoffman, Som'er, Kirai, Colette and Collodi crews - still got LCBNE and Miss Pack to do. Then there's bloody Gencon. Argh! Of course feel free to post up any minis that may interest either myself or the wider community. I look forward to sharing these in the (probably far) future =] Edited June 1, 2011 by ThePandaDirector Put links in the names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I envy you! Would be sooo happy if I could get at least the half of those things - especially the McVey minis! Well, at least Dorothy is on her way to me from CMON...can't wait to get that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Panda, how much was the shipping? I'm curious in working that out before I order a Dorothy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 It was $7.00 for me, to Hungary. (guess it's the same for all orders to Europe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvatarForm Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 You can order all of those from Maelstrom with free shipping, aside from Dorothy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks. That shipping isn't to bad, hopefully there will be 1 left for me when I get more money (darn bills, grr). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I love the Dorothy model but I don't really have a use for her, so I'm gonna resist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks. That shipping isn't to bad, hopefully there will be 1 left for me when I get more money (darn bills, grr). Well, there's 65 left now, so you might get a chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I just have to pray there will be 1 left next week. I have a use for her in my Showgirls as well. I knew I shouldn't have ordered those comics off Ebay last week, gaming is more important! Then again, I wasn't expecting the phone bill this week, I was thinking it would be next week. In the words of Mojo Jojo, curses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I just have to pray there will be 1 left next week. I have a use for her in my Showgirls as well. Who will that lovely Dorothy girl be in your crew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I will likely use her as a substitute for Colette herself as it's such a magnificent model. Colette's model can become a Performer since I have a few models usable as extra Mannequins if necessary. Unless that is the Steamstress that Tuesday drew (I think it was Tuesday, I'm bad with names) does end up being official. Who wouldn't want her in their crew? Such a brilliant idea.

ThePandaDirector Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 @LonelyPath: I chose priorty post - so I could track the order - and that cost $25 to deliver to the UK (Scotland). I think normal was $9, but no tracking. You can get a quote from the website before purchasing. Also, I bought the Studio McVey stuff from their website, so I should get those sooner. I'll probably start saving for Gencon now, limited edition models are always a priority. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Panda, thanks for the info. I just came into a little unexpected income (yay), so I'll be ordering Dorothy. I was looking at some of the McVey models (Isabella for instance), but I think those will be cheaper to order direct form Studio McVey.

ThePandaDirector Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 They will be, but if they're still on Malestorm you can get free delivery. I got back from town to find I'd just missed a package so it should either be my McVey stuff or a carry case I ordered from Malestorm. Here's hoping it's the former :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Oops, I am forever missing packages myself and having to go down to the post office to collect things. I did check Studio McVey and there is a considerable price difference, so I'll be getting a few models from there in the coming weeks. Well, if I can hold off on buying more scenery that is, as I need more for my Malifaux games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Sadly it was the carry case. What I don't understand was why it was contained in a massive cardboard box, that's a box - with a handle - inside a bigger box - without a handle. Also the only way I could hold it was to keep it close to my chest making me look very protective and provoking a fair amount of curious glances.. Should have the models within a week though.

Hahahaha... You just reminded me of some orders I've made over the years with X-tra-X in Germany. I ordered a shirt with them once and it arrived in a sealed bag inside a matt black bag inside a box big enough to fit 2 GW army figure cases! All that for 1 shirt. When I ordered some boots they just came in the manufacturers packaging, but they'd been dispatched from X-tra-X... I found that one weird since I was needing a huge box at that point. Well, I hope your models reach you soon, my Dorothy was dispatched yesterday so I am waiting impatiently for her to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklemonkey Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Check out ayu beat by sodapop miniatures. I think she is a cracking mini. Much like le lcb and miss pack though, I'm a bit scared to lay a brush on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Soda Pop has a extraordinary range of models, I like much of what they produce and have bought a few. I'm also terrified of taking a brush to them in case I mess them up. I really want a Ayu Beat though, fantastic model and very suitable as a Mannequin with a twist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want a Ayu Beat though, fantastic model and very suitable as a Mannequin with a twist I hadn't thought of that but I can see it now you mention it. She's the only one I've bought but I agree that a lot of them are stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I really should have added that if I was to buy her I would have to buy 2, one to keep as it is and the other to convert into a Mannequin by making it look more Steampunk Victoriana burlesque.

LonelyPath Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Well, I ordered Ayu Beat (2 copies) earlier this week and they arrived yesterday and today my Steampunk Dorothy arrived in the post. Ayu's gonna be a pain to get done as she's to darn tiny and Dorothy is just plain gorgeous from head to toe. no flash, very little trimming to be done. It's gonna be a dream to work on her as all the details are so crisp and clear. I really wish I'd bought 2 now, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjahamster Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 dammit - I went to the CMON site just to have a look, saw there was only 10 left and went and ordered one. Now just got to work out what she can be in my Colette crew - is Hans any good? or maybe a trapper? Good job I just sold a load of 40k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
