Article: Mini Exchange 12 - Sign up closes May 13th

[ZapotekE]

... all is quiet on the MiniExchange-front ... :yawn:

nothing yet, but i\'ll hang in there - and it\'s not that long before ME13 starts. Has anyone got anything finnished from ME12 to show?

 

[doomsayer]

I got 4 minis, working on 1 now, just hit the craft store today for some supplies.

 

[Onis Lair]

I did indeen gte mine from Doomsayer, just busy and unable to mention that until now. All i need to do now is get off the WOW long enough to paint. :redface:

[/quote]I\'m just off to bribe the powers-that-be to get you as my next exchange partner lol [/quote]

I like scotch.

Well, things get crazy for me for a couple of weeks and I come back to what may or may not be a lack of shipped minis.

BaT and OrkyDave - disregard the PM I just sent about missing a post about not receiving minis... because I *also* missed the post about then receiving minis.

I shouldn\'t read the boards until after coffee is the lesson I\'m learning today.

If you have not received minis please send me a PM

With ME13 coming up I\'d like some feedback on the *FLAGGED* experiment. My intention with allowing new members to participate in this manner was to try and bring more people to CMON and the exchange.

OrkyDave and porkaborg: you two were directly effected by the experiment. What say you?

Thing are slowing to a dull roar for me again so I\'ll be checking the forum more regularly (and voting on minis again, YAY!).

Thanks again for participating in the exchange

 

[doomsayer]

Thanks for organizing the ME, I look forward to hopefully participating in more MEs in the near future, I have lots and lots of unpainted minis that\'ll probably never move to the front of the line.

 

[ZapotekE]

what I can tell of the two \"flagged\" particians in this ME is that they did what they were supposed to do - or am I wrong? what I mean is that just because you are not flagged dosen\'t mean that you follow through...

and I agree with misterjustin that it\'s a good way to bring more people in to the exchange and CMON.

 

[misterjustin]

ZapotekE really nailed it -- each of the ME I have organized has had at least one person fail to send out miniatures. The first time it happened I wound up shipping to THREE people to make up for it. The second time I just couldn\'t do that.

It looks like both of our flagged people did come through before the end of the ME.

I will take feedback on the experiment before I update the rules for ME13 though. Other suggestions are welcome of course.

 

[OrkyDave]

I.m still waiting, although PMs have stated that the models have been sent.

 

[doomsayer]

I forgot to post what paymydues sent me!

WH40k Ultramarine Librarian
WH40k Champion of Khorne
Urban Mammoth Archangel (really cool looking mini)
a Swamp Witch, whose maker escapes my memory ATM
and a resin sci-fi-ish base

Should be interesting as I have stuck to painting only fantasy minis for the past 20 years.

 

[WingZ]

Well it looks like ill be the first to post pics of a painted mini.. joy! lol

Well i got this guy from Thecadian.. he sent me some cool stuff.. I had started the wood elf he sent.. but she is giving me hell.. I just cant seem to get her right so i gave up lol
well an feedback would be great.. hes also going to be on my wip page so check out my other stuff to.. thanks

 

[BaT]

I got my package from Uber today. Nice selection

I have no idea what this is, so it should be interesting to assemble.

A dwarf with a cool beard and a fella who looks sort of like spawn

Lizard man ahoy!

An orge...I think

:bouncy::bouncy::bouncy:

 

[COG]

so does anyone know how long a package from the Uk to California is. i have a sad fear the dam USPS :cussing: has lost mine stuff. it has been about a month since they were shipped. im still holding on to the hope that i will get something this week, but in my head i see some evil postmaster holding them back and saying \"MINE\"
dang increased postal wages (aw crap i said postal):drunk:

 

[misterjustin]

Registration for ME13 will begin very shortly.

I am more than willing to coordinate it again but will not be participating this time.

I\'m sure that some of you have noticed that I haven\'t been posting, or updating my threads, as often as I used to. Work has been super, uber crazy and that hasn\'t left me much time for the forums. This isn\'t likely to change for a couple of months.

SO

If there is someone out there that really, really wants to take over the exchange please drop me a PM.

AGAIN

I am more than willing, and will make time, to coordinate ME13 but won\'t be checking up on it as often.

And now... back to the refutation I was writing. JOY!

 

[OrkyDave]

I will sit this one out also. having still received nowt from ME12

 

[Undave]

You can have some of my old tat if it\'ll cheer you up Dave, Lord knows I\'ve got plenty of it.

P.S. Say hello to Mike the Barbarian for me

 

[Gilvan Blight]

Just in time for ME 13...

I finished one of the minis that OrkyDave sent me for ME 12.

My best skin and fur to date in my opinion. Not the kind of mini I would normally paint, and a great example of what a Mini Exchange can teach you.
