Counting myself, we now have 12 members of our merry band! This is going to be awesome thanks to everyone jumping in. Thank you, everyone!

As a reminder, anybody who wants to join in, I'm going to be passing out assignments this coming Monday-Wednesday (It will probably take me a bit of time to get everything sent out) so if there anybody out there who wants in, we'd love for you to join the fun!

I'd love to participate but I can't even find the time to get working on my Halloween contest entry or the Rahl work in progress that I started.

Well, if you change your mind, we have a pretty big window for participation open all the way through New Years. I want to lock people in sooner than later for assignments, but once you're in, you have close to 3 months to get one finished, but I can definitely respect have no time.

[DSModels]

Looking forward to your PM. I can't wait to get started .

["That Guy"]

OK, I'm in too. This sounds like fun!

[Seamus]

If I'm not too late, I'd like to join in this too.

Can't wait to see what I'm going to paint! When do you think you'll get the matches out?

[recruittons]

@Shogan: I will get the matches out over the next few days. I'll be sending out messages to people I've found have a perfect match first (today), because I have no reason to switch them. I've found that a few of our requests and a few of our "will paints" have made for some great combos!

[recruittons]

So, I managed to get a lot more done than I expected! I'm still ironing out some wrinkles, so anybody that hasn't received their painting beneficiary yet, expect to get a message from me tomorrow.

As a side note: Would everyone participating please message me with the following:

Willing to Ship Internationally: Yes or No.

This is an important piece of info that I completely forgot to include in the information gathering I did before and a prompt response would mean the world to me. Thank you, everyone, for being awesome!

[recruittons]

Thanks for the responses, folks! I've got everything I need now.

So, I've bought and started painting my mini. I spent a good 3 hours on it so far and I'm in for at least another couple tomorrow. I will say, my mini will probably be done by the end of the week and shipped early next week. Heck, I might even paint another one and send it off, before the end of this thing, to someone else. This is a ton of fun!

This is what happens when you don't have a backlog of minis (yet, March approaches...) and suddenly have a reason to buy and paint one

I once spent five months tracking down a miniature before I found one way out in the sticks of Mongolia near the Gobi Desert.

I will ship to Mars if I have to. Might be pricey, though.

[Sanael]

Dare we inquire as to the nature of your Mongolian prize?

No, but be assured that there are top men working on it right now.

Top. Men.

Alright, I'm sculpting the base for mine now using air-dry sculpting clay on a fender washer. I have to wait a bit for it to dry, since my area is starting to hit the autumn chill and things now take a while to dry out, as opposed to the 90-100+ degree weather of the Summer. Although, I will say that the cold weather has made wet blending much easier!
