In the mail (cheer!)

 

Should get to the recipient in 3-4 days. I'll throw it into Show Off when I get word it's arrived.

 

Thanks Shakandara and Reaper for another great exchange!

 

I still wish there was a way to combine all the exchange final pictures into one nice thread so I didn't have to search high and low. Is everyone using a common subject line when putting their projects into Show Off (E.G. 2010 Summer Exchange, my exchange piece for so-and-so)? Some sort of search handle that we could use?

Thanks

Argh!

 

Base is done -- the whole figure is ready to go -- but my desktop pooped itself this morning. ::o: Since I need that thing to do my job, and I need my job to buy more minis (and support my food-and-rent habit), I've booked the day for troubleshooting. I'm unlikely to get to the post office before Monday. Sorry!

 

:down::grr:

Not sure the handle of my recipient, but want to check and see if it arrived to them? Richard G. im MI. Let me know if I need to provide a tracking number! Thanks!

 

Yep, I got it. I thought I had gone back and edited a previous post here to show that, but I guess I didn't. Mea culpa - it's a nice fig. I'll have to take pics and post them when I get the time.

 

I need to publicly apologize to my recipient - the fig was mostly done, and then something. . . bad . . .happened. See if you can guess, from the clues provided below:

 

d = Vi(t) + 1/2(at^2)

 

p = mv

 

 

Anyway, while it would be fixable, it was faster to just get a different figure - already bought, primed, and base colors down. I hope to be basing by Wed night, at the latest.

Done, sealed, and in a box with my recipient's address on it. Here are a few quick photos to whet some appetites; perhaps whoever gets her can take better ones in a proper lightbox? ::):

I added a little somethin' extra to the box as a thank-you for my recipient's saintly patience.

I'm gonna be late on this . . . progress so far:

 

1. Obtain figure(s)

2. Clean figures

3. Prime figures

4. Basecoat figures . . .

5. Base figure

6. Snap a pic or two

7. Mail

 

Last weekend there was hope of finishing in a rush before September finished. But, since Saturday I've been not-having the flu.

(I know it isn't the flu. Couldn't be. I had a flu shot. So it can't be the flu...)

Thank you Ferox! I got her Friday and both she and the extas arrived in good shape. :D

They look great! I will try to get pics taken of all 3 when we get our lightbox regrouped (most of it is at a friend's house, with one lamp having ended up at another friend's place). Hopefully it will all come together sooner than later.

As for myself, I have to remember to be less ambitious on the next exchange mini I do. Between work deciding to get really busy at the same time I finally got all the pieces figured out, sculpted, and primed and my computer's hard drive deciding to die, it's been a little hectic. So I will say that I am working on her as best I can, and I'm really happy with the way it's turning out. I just hope my recipient thinks she's worth the wait!
