Minted!

Well no not really. I managed to make about €220 on old figures I'm never going to paint, but now with all that disposable cash in my paypal account, I am trying really hard not to buy more figures. And failing. I bought 3 Catachan mortar teams as I really love the old metal figures. What I'm really after is one of those hot wire cutters that attach to the mains as I had a battery one that was quite simply crap.
I actually finished a few figures last week, a Black Tree Design beastman conversion with autogun, a horse headed mutant and a Redemptionist leader for my Westboro Baptist Church Affiliate gang. I'll photo them and put them on my next blog. I have been converting a lot lately and I have another half dozen miniatures chopped up to shit and made into freaky deaky muties, again pics to follow.
So hopefully my next entry will be hobby related!

My Del Boy Attempt.

Well I have a love/hate relationship with ebay and at the moment its more love than hate. I love to buy rare and unusual miniatures for ridiculously low prices (but generally pay too much) and also to sell stuff for way over their worth. Sadly neither really come true, more a watered down version of both. So far this year I have sold 12 figures and bought 36. Admittedly the figures I have bought were mainly grunts for my ever increasing collection of badly led troops.
What I've done this week is mainly due to ebays free listing weekend is put 48 seperate auctions on there. All were old minatures that I bought nearly 20 years ago which now are very rare (I always put rare or OOP in my listings, whether it makes a difference I don't know) and now sadly unwanted. I say sadly as I go through phases of selling stuff with the intention of streamlining my figure collection, and sadly because I nearly always buy more stuff to replace it with.
But this time is differant! I have a plan, when I make €75+ on ebay I will buy myself some proper polystyrene sculpting tools so I can build the scenery of my dreams. Mainly interesting rock formations, an underground fighting pit, and even some terrain boards. So hopefully this time next week I'll be a millionaire!
