Bumping this to see if anyone else is keen to paint someone else's stuff, or have their stuff painted.

Since I've yet to hear from Granader (no worries if you're too busy right now, the offer will still stand!) so if anyone else has anything then I'm available!

@BC, I'm happy to do a Bugman now if you want!

Sure thing! It might have to be the weekend, because I have convention flu after dealing with 1200 people in close proximity to my lunch over the bank holiday.

Your idea is ambitious. It could work.

You raise a valid concern, the same sort of concern that was raised in the Great Marine Swap (Which had a similar premise to this).

I'd be down for it. I like painting

Cool, just PM me when you're ready and I'll give you the address.

Just send it over when you have time, I'll be in town on Saturday (ironically right near WHW) and I'll hopefully get them out.
For good measure, bin all the packaging, haha. Bugman himself is sealed, so you can lick him safely enough.

Might be interested.
Have unpainted Cryx McThralls
ALEPH Steel Phalanx
Most of,the Ice Storm Pan O
Some Necromunda Delaque minis
A LOT of 6mm EPIC I'm planning on turning into a Mini 40 K game set.

Sorry to just disappear on you guys, I am trying to get back into it... just started to read the forum backlog about 30 minutes ago, tomorrow I might actually be up to date

Haha, fair enough! As above I'm now doing the Bugman mini for BC, but I'll send you a PM when that's done if you still want your Company Master done!

Hey BC, if you haven't shipped that dragon dog yet, and are near WHW, maybe we can make my wife SUPER ANGRY and get you to put some more plasticrack in that shipping box?

Anyone interested in painting some Prussian Squats?

I simply have other projects I need done, but these guys have no use for me for a while.

It includes wiener dogs, messenger pigeons, officers, rifles, 2 HMGs etc.

If anyone wants to take on the project let me know!

Some pics...

I'm going there on Saturday! Let me know, I'll sort you out.
Both yours and Paradigms parcels are on my hall table, I've just not managed to make it to town yet (combined convention cold/flu and general ennui this week).

ohboyohboy, such temptation

Anyone know how much these command tanks are? I've a feeling it'd probably be worth waiting it out and getting it locally though, as it looks like the ~exclusive~ is only temporary

They say WHW quite prominently on the box. For now.

Can't say I know much about them, but I can find out in person on Saturday, PM you details etc.

Same goes for any FW resin upgrade bits (I'm not willing to source anyone a full FW kit due to their serious quality control issues).

Interesting idea. I dont mind painting some eldars or infinity models. I'm planning to start those once i'm done with my current blood angels army so this might be a good chance to get a feel of painting those models. I dont play by the way so i'll just paint em and send em back. Have a look at some of my postings to see my painting level if you are interested. Cheers!

My name is true, I'm from Victoria. Australia. I've been wanting to break into the commission buisness for some time now and this seems like a chance too good to be true (pun intended). I am an avid painter 24 with plenty of time on his hands and not enough plastic crack to paint ! Painting is my life and you can rest assured that any models sent to me will be complete in short order and to you specifications I am mostly a space marine painter, but would be able to do most if not all factions of the imperium. So I invite you to jump over to my profile and check out my work don't hesitate to message me, or even just ask questions regardless. Cheers. True.

True, why don't you do a squad of Swastakowy's squats for some sweet reputation building?

I know that I, personally, would never trust anyone from Ballarat - my family lives there

Hahaha thanks kb_lock, and to be honest I agree with your statement and thanks for the tip off, I'll hit him up cheers !

Hideously slow of me, but a Bugman went off to Paradigm today.

KB I still owe you a message and some pictures regarding WHW exclusives.I'll sort that tomorrow!
I'm going to get you an accurate postage estimate on Saturday, because standing in their store with a small set of battery scales and weighing a Rhino box is just what I'm about.

No worries, I'll probably take you up on the offer if you're keen, but it is a huge ask so i appreciate your time.

EVERYONE ELSE: get on board with this - I'm down to paint something else

Im so glad this seems to be going well.
It seems like we are able to find each other and share this hobby here.
I will definately make use of this opportunity at some point, as i have some models i just cant seem to ever find time to paint, before i buy something im more excited about.

Just wanted to say cheers

Cracking idea this!! I'm totally game one. Quality wise - most of my stuff can be seen on the links below

My offer is still up for anyone to give it a try...

I might have a look at my random bots as there is some other things that I know will never be touched.

I might be down for that. Take a look at my gallery and see if you want me to.

BC's Bugman is done (pics below) and going off on Monday, so if anyone else has anything they'd fancy me doing then let me know!





@Swastakowey: those are some neat miniatures. Doubt I'd have time to do all of them to a good standard, but I'd happily do up the Command Squad (say, the Commander, 'vox-pidgeon', artillery mappers, bugler and banner?) if you don't mind the cost/time of shipping to and from the UK.

Cheers mate,

Sent a reply your way. But its certainly cool to have something done with these guys.

I think i'm avoiding threadomancy....

Got so tied up in new releases i lost this thread! now i've found it again, i'm going to be putting some more stuff up for others to paint and enjoy - it's been thougroughly enjoyable posting things to people who really want to use them like this - reminds me of the old 'pen-friends' concept which got forgotten when the internet and mobile phones appeared.

just waiting to hear whether AUGmaniac wants a go at any of them first because i felt so guilty about sending tigurius off to australia and not posting the fact here.


So, AUGmaniac is getting sent some (edit:Tarantula)-style turrets i made and i have three more things for people without models and/or funds to paint and borrow....

A NIB oldhammer 'carrion' which will otherwise remain in my bits-box forever. (no need to send this one back, just post some finished pics on dakka)

A LoTR bilbo baggins which really should be with the other 4 hobbits in my cabinet (painted by a friend)

And two space marines with plasma cannons which i would like in dark angel colours as a gift for a mate who's down on his luck to cheer hin up a bit.

So - something for free, something for me, and something for charity.

nice.

SirDonlad,

I would like to tackle the 'Carrion' if you don't mind. I have a thing for old sculpts and get a lot of enjoyment from painting them up.

I would also be willing to paint the Bilbo Baggins for you as a kind of 'payment' for the carrion if you wanted.

I am by no means the best painter but I would give them both my best shot, I have a few pics in the gallery if you fancy a look at my skill level.

Of course I will understand if you would like to wait for a more experianced painter.
