There are Great people on this Site

[chippy]

I would like to tell you all of a most amazing transaction I had a couple of days ago with Nuno aka Blue Thunder . Nuno has a number of items for sale in the Market and Commision section . I was keen on getting the Amiti 120 mm figure , so after sending a PM to Nuno asking for paypal details I received an reply back from Nuno saying he was very sorry but he has only just noticed that the war club is missing from the kit and would I please accept the figure and postage FOC . to amend for this lapse .
Now the war club is not the hardest thing to reproduce , so I emailed back saying I would wish to pay something towards the kit and the postage but Nuno was insistent that I have FOC .
Anyway to cut many emails short I'm getting the kit foc and Nuno will contact me for a base in the near future
WHAT A GUY !!!
And while I'm on I would also like to mention Steve Readdie who recently made me 3 Lewis gun barrels FOC for a 1/35 WW1 tank I'm in the middle of making ( the ones in the kit were sh-t ) .
As there are some figures involved in this project I may get round to posting some pictures
A big thanks Steve

You are quite welcome Chippy

Any more freebies though and you might have to register as a charity to keep the tax man happy

I have to agree with Chippy that there are some great and helpful folks on this site!

I too have had great dealings with Steve Readdie who has helped me out over the past year or two with castings. He has always been helpful, responsive and a real pleasure to work with. He has pulled me out of the fire several times in the past year or two. Thanks Steve, for being such a great and generous guy!

Equally, I have to thank my good friend, Johann Putseys of Belgium. He has been very helpful with finding great references on obscure subjects for me. His resourcefulness never ceases to amaze me. He also generously agreed to buy an obscure and difficult to obtain kit on my behalf, for a trade without even knowing if I would come through for him. Such trust and generosity is to be commended. Thanks Johann!

I am very grateful for my delightful dealings with these thoughtful and generous folks!

Thanks guys! You ROCK!!

Thanks Mike just glad I could help when I could, I feel my sculpting has leapt forward since your honest critique this past couple of years, I am very appreciative of that.
I am a firm believer that all good deeds go into the melting pot of our figure community to help keep it going, if we all pay in to the pot we are all better off

Hi Gordon!

You really make me blush! What a post!!!


With my full sincerity, I frankly hope you will make an exceptional Iroquois! Something to make you and I proud of these times!


Cheers!

Nuno I only paint for pleasure not for medals but I will do the very best I can .
Quote from Helm " Chippy about time you started doing bases again mate"
Steve I've called it a day with The Base 2B it was taking up more of my time than I wanted , but I still come across unusual pieces of pieces of wood that I can't resist making into bases (more than I ever use ) so if your after something you can always give me a shout . And if I need a snake I'll give you a shout
Steve the Lewis guns are now mounted in the tank and look great . Thanks .

How the hell did I post that twice ????

 

[Helm]

Sorry to hear that Chippy never had any complaint about your bases at all
Steve

 

[chippy]

No I never had any complaints Steve , It was all taking up more of my time than I wanted for the amount I was making on each base . The defining moment come when I was waiting in line in the post office for around 20 minutes to post off about £25 parcel where as I should have been on site fitting a £10,000 Kitchen .
But as I said give me shout I might have something in my store .
