That's great! Sounds like you've got it under control. You provide a needful service and an excellent product to boot. I wish you all of the success in the world.

Also, I would think twice about shutting down a business for any length of time that is making money, especially if you plan to expand it and especially if you're not expecting a major capital infusion from another source (investors, etc.). Expansion costs money. If the business is making it...

Sounds to me like you are growing by leaps and bounds. I don't know much about web sales and technology, but I know a little about starting your own business and it sounds to me like you need a comprehensive business plan before you start forging ahead. One that includes technology upgrades, but...

Great. I now have 4 frames of cultural reference for Australia: Fosters, Vegemite, Men At Work... and Golden Orb Weaver Spiders. 5 if you count that guy with the big knife in the '80's movies. Remind me never to visit on a Tuesday.

Someone needs to shotgun that thing. I never thought I would see an image that would make me feel compassion towards a snake. the sickest thing is that's happening outside someones window! What frickin' planet is that!

We were? Anyway, I wasn't banned either. I've actually never had a problem at all there and still love it. I just enjoy the plain, irreverent, crazy banter that goes on around here. You guys are nuts! It's like being in the mob! You can go to church on Sunday, but spend the rest of the...

Aha... so let's add inequality under the law to that list of infractions. That falls under free speech/ expression. I hate Lego, too. But that's because I have a six year old that likes it. Now I'm actually scared to be here RIGHT BACK AT'CHA!!!!!!

I'm starting to get the idea that "The Fighting 118th" is essentially made up of of a group of guys who were put off, alienated, disgruntled by, banned from or otherwise disenfranchised by the powers that be over at a certain other 1/18 scale military figure general interest site. Sounds like...

I've had similar issues. In fact I've had other spray varnishes react REALLY horrible with the paint... Like getting all sticky and gross... or not drying properly. When you've spent days or weeks of your spare time on a custom and something like that happens at the final stage...UGGGHHH!!! I...

Works great against paint rub. Most people will say that a glossy surface will produce a stronger barrier against paint rub (and that's logically true), but the Dullcoat has always protected my stuff to my satisfaction while producing the realistic finish I want. I'm terrified that they'll...

I know! I NEED that removable knit cap and that Delta operator helmet! I NEED IT! I NEED IT! I NEED IT! I NEED IT! (Stamps foot repeatedly and imitates Herman Munster)

I understand. I'm sitting here waxing eloquent and thinking that I'm giving this detailed, comprehensive explanation, meanwhile people are reading it and saying, "What the hell is this guy talking about?" I hope I was able to clarify. Also... I answered your other questions about the Dullcoat...

Mr. Rex is right on the money, here. This is a GREAT idea. I always say I'm going to do this, but never do. I'm so damned lazy! LOL! Do it. It makes sense and you'll save yourself a boatload of labor and frustration in the long run.

I don't think you're question is stupid at all! Just the opposite- I never know how effective I'm being when I try to explain this stuff...I'm glad you guys are helping me clarify. When I say "Point the brush" I mean simply this- When you have really good, sable detail brush and you pull that...

Yes! That's a good observation. I try and mix just the amount of paint I'll need and even sometimes try and assembly line several parts that have the same color so as not to waste paint. It's important to have a solid formula for the color you've mixed because you may have to mix it several...

Gentlemen, thank you so much for your hard work and consideration. XOC did an amazing job converting that piece for the site in an incredibly short period of time. Thank you for your treatment of the article the honor of being featured on your front page.

I agree with that 100 percent. Tutorials are helpful, though. They give you a roadmap to help you wade through all of the basic, technical crap (paints, tools, techniques, troubleshooting, etc.) So that you can spend your time more efficiently honing your skills rather than struggling with all...

OK... I don't want to be the cause of any civil unrest...here's the link to the tutorial for whoever wants to do anything with it: http://figurativelyspeaking-miked.blogspot.com/2009/11/hey-all-welcome-to-my-custom-figure.html I'll happily answer any questions or help with any problems so feel...

Always happy to help. I PM'd you the link to my painting tutorial. It has a pretty focussed portion on painting eyes. You're welcome to link to/copy/promote it however works best for you.

Thanks, Mandingo! It's great to be here. I've been off the map for some time now, but I've been totally blown away with what Hasbro has been doing with GI Joe of late. That coupled with Toffujesse cranking out crisp, clean, high quality casts with fast, and accomodating service and reasonable...
