Ah, a man after my heart! I love GW's old Terracotta. It is one of my oldest pots, but I keep it alive somehow and most of my HMGs have that colour as a drum/hopper.

Great show!

**Casey's Law**

Posted up some pre-paint shots of the mini I'm doing for BlueDagger. Hope you like it!

I probably won't post any more pictures now until he has it, unless of course he wants to see some.

**bantha_beast**

MR - I have some pictures of your finished Odalisque if you want a preview? Looks like we will be the first O12 operatives.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Yesh, pleaje.

I've had a crazy week, I am mailing your stuff this week without fail.

**Casey's Law**

Decided I better post an image of the model I'm doing for Blue here for sake of documentation. Just one, the rest are in my blog and gallery.

**Mathieu Raymond**

bantha: I just posted yours today. The smallest box available was huge. hopefully I padded it in enough foam. Sorry if the antenna breaks.

**Casey's Law**

Keep us updated.

When the trade is complete at both ends I'll add it to the OP. Are you guys planning to set up new trades afterwards? I hope you're enjoying it enough to continue. I'm tempted to ask someone who hasn't signed up yet for my next trade, that way we'll might have more people involved in the long run, but who knows. Decisions, decisions...

**bantha_beast**

Woop, just got back from the post office with a delivery from Canada!

Looks like our first O12 swap is 50% complete! Come on Royal Mail! I'll post up some pictures later.

**Mathieu Raymond**

It came in, I just had to go by and pick it up. My mailman is very particular. He won't leave a padded env. in my mailbox, but sometimes big boxes of mdf terrain is just sitting in front of my (in)door. Weird.

I still have to base the beauty and then pics gallore!

**Casey's Law**

Awesome! Get some pics up so we can all have a gander and I'll add it to the OP. Congratulations on finishing the first trade, hopefully me and Blue can follow soon, I'm getting there slowly.

She made it alright then? I was starting to get worried when i picked yours up and hadn't heard anything from your end. And did you paint that O12 logo on the Bagh Mari or is it a decal?

**Mathieu Raymond**

Painted, my friend. I do it olde schoole.

**Casey's Law**

Any updates guys? I'm going to test out some stuff this week before I actually use it on Blue's mini.

**bantha_beast**

OK Casey just for you, and to prove that i really did receive my model.

Here's some Bagh Mari all the way from Canada!

And check out his camouflage pants.

And his hand painted O12 logo just blows my mind!

**Casey's Law**

Haha, thanks banth, that's awesome! Nice one MR! The freehand and camo is really astounding stuff.

And talk about well traveled! Spain to Canada and back to England, I hope he serves you well. What will you be using him for? I'm going to use my trades primarily for display until I have enough to run them as an O-12 cell using the Merc rules.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Major Thread Necro?

As I may have said, I was neck deep in four classes on the excellent topic of ESL Education. Done.
And I just found out how to paste pictures directly into a post.

Bam!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I'll take better pictures next week. In the meatime, I'm free for another exchange!

**Alkasyn**

Looks better than the ones I'm currently working on, hehe

**bantha_beast**

Nice one Mathieu. Good to see she's found a home where she can just relax on the porch!

Any sign of our other operatives finishing yet?

**Casey's Law**

Hey lads! I'm glad you necroed, I was getting worried this thread would go dormant until I finished Blue's mini. Neither of us are in a rush to finish and I'm waiting to get an airbrush so I can give it my best shot. Talking to someone about an airbrush trade though so hopefully it won't be too much longer.

I think, while I wait, I might redo the base on Blue's mini. It doesn't match his bases as well as I'd like and I have the time to carefully replace it without damaging the conversion.

**bantha_beast**

So anyone else up for a swap (other than Mathieu of course

)?

**Casey's Law**

I'll be looking to organise a few trades once I finish this one but I don't want to be queueing them up until then. We do need some fresh blood though. You might want to ask someone who hasn't signed up yet, maybe it'll convince them to come and put their name down.

**Bolognesus**

...fresh blood, you say? I'll get some pics of my finished stuff up sometime next week, see if anyone bites

**Mathieu Raymond**

Anyone else wants to trade? I'm hankering to trust Canada Post with fiddly minis again!

I'd maybe enjoy receiving something from Aleph, or Nomad, I can do either FRRM or PanO again. Or even better, a Hasslefree mini as an Infinity conversion.

**chromedog**

I've got nothing I want to trade and I only buy models I WANT, so have no leftovers - but I only buy a handful of models in a year.

If games companies relied on me to stay above water, they'd be sleeping with the fishies.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Well silly me, I buy whatever my trading partner wants, I rarely have Infinity leftovers as well. If you change your mind, let us know.

**cincydooley**

I'm in. I've get some spare Nomads Moderators. :-).

**Casey's Law**

I may well be ordering my compressor in the morning. (EXCITING!) If that's the case then my miniature to Blue will soon be on it's way and I'll be taking on a new trade.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Cincy, do you have any preferences as to your colour scheme? Can I just use basic PanO blues... are you looking for something different? I'll receive your mini from Shae either early next week or in early 2014.

**Nerm86**

I'll trade with someone. I have some Ariadna and Haqq floating around

**Mathieu Raymond**

Cincy, I'm almost done with your Orders Sergeant. ONly the O12 logo remains to be done. Can you PM me your address?
