Inspired by a post on heresy forums.
Basically, would you all be interested in a minature exchange?
What is that?
You make a model for someone elses army. A unique model to be fielded amongst your customers general list. It would be a best of your ability model. It should be converted, based, and painted to the best of your ability!
How would you do it?
Get a list of everyone who wants to participate, assign them a number, and randomly draw a number from a hat (also check the VOLUNTEER! section below). That person makes a model for the next person drawn, etc. Your customer will tell you his army, and what type of guy he wants. Say a tactical marine, a guardian, whatever. The model has to fit the wargear for that unit type, but it may be converted however the maker wants!
When?
Last day for registering is Thursday Jan 31, 2008.
All models should be completed and shipped by the end of february! 1 month is plenty of time for 1 model
Restrictions!
-You shouldn't ask for something really expensive. For example, you can't say "I want a venerable dreadnought!" We can put a maximum price (unless the maker wants to spend more), whatever everyone agrees on.
-You should be moderately skilled with converting and painting. To keep everyone happy and no one bitter, everyone will want something of decent quality. So if you are a really bad painter, i'd ask you sit this one out
*people will also be matched up with location restrictions. I.E. canada and us people won't get people from europe or aussie. this prevents uber expensive / annoying shipping, etc..*
VOLUNTEER!
Spot a member who you would really like to make a model for? Have the bits to do a really cool conversion for X? Volunteer to make an item for a person! Just put under your ap, I volunteer to make X's model! NOTE: You cannot volunteer for someone who already has a person making their model! So please check that first. Anyone who doesn't have a volunteer to do their model will be randomly drawn from a hate and assigned someone!
How to register?
Send me a PM or reply to this thread with the following info:
1) Europe, Aussi, or USA/canada?
2) Army theme and colour scheme (if you have a SINGLE picture showing your scheme pm it to me)
3) What unit do you want made for you for under $15 or under retail? (a marine, a biker, a terminator, etc)
Got an idea? share it! What do you guys think? Who's interested!
