Post subject:  Secret Base Swap 2009?
Hey, this post is to test the waters to see if any skullbrainers might be interested in a Secret Base custom swap? It's been over a year since the last one, and I'd like to try to get a SB swap to be a yearly thing. Plus there are some new faces on the board who like to paint and I would love to see some Secret Base goodness from them.

Here are the rules (lifted from last years signup post):
Quote:
Hey Everybody- I'd like to try another random custom toy swap! This time its Secret Base. I'll be organizing it. Any fight sized Secret Base figures is open for use, painted however you want to paint it. I'm leaving the restrictions on what figures to use open so that no one who wants to participate will be stuck on not being able to get a base figure to paint. This way if you've got a random figure with a paint defect, put it to use as a custom! Or if you need one you can buy any one you want to use. Generally speaking on any given day you can find great deals on more common, less popular SB figures right here on the BST. I think that with enough people and the variety of figure types available this will make for an interesting and varied show of Kaiju.


I'd like to get at least 5 people to commit before its a go, but obviously there would be no upper limit- I don't have an idea for a timeline, but like last year I'd like to keep it under 2 months to complete to keep things timely.

For those who missed last years (or don't remember) here is the turnout from last year (thanks to kirk, because my webspace is down):

So yeah, I'd like to get 5 names before I consider it a go, as always everyone is welcome- I'd love to see some of the veteran customizers join in if possible (especially some of the bigger painters who promised to join in a swap in the past) and well as fresh faces.

So if you're interested, chime in here, start a list!

That makes two!

Since bert mentioned it, if you're on the fence on the whole Secret Base thing, and would prefer a "any fight fig" swap, let me know. Ideally I'd like to keep it Secret Base if possibly for continuity's sake, and when its Secret Base everyone who plays will have at least some idea of what they are going to get. But I'll go with the greater response.

C'mon painters! Wheres the love for the base?

The 'any fight fig' idea sounds neat... I've got pretty much no interest in SB, so I wouldn't participate in that, but I've got RxH beige blanks, and have always wanted to try painting a Cronic Maverasu :)

these better not be due at the end of the month....cause everything else is. at least for me and a few others, there's the blobpus contest. i've got a really full plate of things to deal with over the next couple of months.

I hope everyone does. I'd hate to get one that was painted just for the sake of painting it...instead of painting one knowing that the other person is putting a good amount of time and effort into it.

Cmon, we got 6 down for Secret Base- last year we had 10, we gotta do better then that!

If you're a painter (I know who you are) and you're reading this and you haven't signed up don't make me start pming you and hounding you! I'll do it! I swear! =)


EDIT- Also, to everyone, I hope everyone does their absolute best at painting these- I know you all have been painting for at least a year (because most of you were in the last trade) so I except the customs to reflect that. I don't want any duds, I want to see improvement from last years turn out so no one feels as though they might not get something cool! If you can't airbrush then buy some Good paints (no cheap chunky walmart poster paint), and if you can't brush paint decorate it some other way, just use your imagination and make something you are proud of!

Hey Kelvo, hey everybody- sorry I've been a flake, you guys who have shown an interest are awesome and I thank you, but I was honestly hoping for a bigger turnout for the swap because we have talent coming out of the ears around here. I'm obviously not going to call people out, but I was hoping some familiar names might sign up. Is everyone too busy right now for a swap? Is the idea of a Swap too 2008? C'mon folks! Sign the hell up, paint a figure and share the love for the base and get a figure back!

You might get better turnout if you re-beat the drum after TK2 and all the big customizes have had a moment to cool off... I still do like the swap idea, and would love to see more.

I think I'm out of this. Doesn't seem to be interest and it will probably be unorganized if hellopike is uninterested.
