Dear Planet Figure members,
After receiving the consent of the Forum Administrator (for which I graciously thank) I would like to inform you of a new and alternative method of reducing or increasing your grey army:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Grey-Army/757746220986908?ref=aymt_homepage_panel
We are modelers! Whether we make planes, ships, tanks or figures, we are all slaves to our baser instincts and urges. Call it impulse or spontaneity, when we see something we like our imagination starts to run wild. Logic and reason quickly go out of the window and are replaced by an urge to acquire the item(s) of desire.
We all know where this path leads… to the unforgiving “Grey Army”; a collection of models sitting quietly in a corner, cupboard, shelf or attic waiting patiently to be brought to life. A “Grey Army” that is ever expanding as if it were preparing to invade the world. A “Grey Army” that becomes more and more difficult to control.
At some point, however hard it may be, we all come to the realization that some pieces of our “Grey Army” are doomed to remain that solitary shade of grey – they will never reach the pinnacle of their existence; to be displayed proudly or even win an award at a show.
It is for that reason that this page was created; one person’s “decommissioned” model is another person’s valuable asset. Sell, Buy, Swap or Trade the models that you want or don’t want - increase or decrease your “Grey Army” – that is the purpose of this page!WHAT DO I NEED TO DO ? Like and Follow "The Grey Army" - Sell, Buy, Swap or Trade your models – Just post a picture of the kit on the timeline, with the necessary details (price, postage costs, company, scale etc).
1/ Spread the word and increase our community. The more people that “Like” this page the more “unwanted” figures or model kits can find a loving home! "Invite" your friends to participate in this endeavor.
2/ Get the ball rolling and start posting your “unwanted” figures or model kits - all post on "The Grey Army" timeline will be shared on our page for more exposure. A little money from selling something can go a long way in buying new figures or model kits OR purchase something you have always wanted at a more reasonable price.
This is a non profit venture made for fun and with no intent whatsoever to compete or take business away from other organizations or modeling communities. I just thought it might be another way (apart from forums and eBay) for modelers to get rid of their excess models - reaching a bigger and more diverse audience.
Above all let’s have some FUN, and ENJOY our hobby.
