Countdown to 2013: HAPPILY SCULPTING!

Autumn is my favorite time of the year, and I am enjoying it very much indeed! I have all of my Body Blanks cleaned up and organized, and now I am working on The TOXIC DEAD Sculptures. Halloween is this month and it is very appropriate that I start work on my Undead Army...

This is the best time of the year...I am having fun, and I hope that you all are too!

Countdown To 2013: LEGION

Brothers, I now have a LEGION...of Body Blanks. 

Pictured in this article are about 300 perfect Master Castings, ranging in size from 30MM to 9MM, measured  from the base to the crown. I also have another 190 male and female Body Blank Parts, which I have not shown because there is nothing to see yet, but little piles of Bodies, Heads, and limbs.

To my Brothers out there who have wondered if I would ever really get all of the models done that I have talked about: the answer is yes. This was $390 well spent.

All I have to do now is play Dress-up-Baby-Dolls with some serious moxie! 

And here we are a week from October...Oh how sweet it is! Toxic Dead? YES!

"With just a touch of my burning hand,
I'm gonna live my life to to destroy your world!
Prime directive, exterminate, The whole fuckin' race!

All I wanted to say, And all I gotta do.
Who'd I do this for, Hey, me or you? "

Thanks to Iron Wind Metals; to Mike Noe for keeping the money right for my budget, and to Stu for doing such a good job on the Molding and Master Casting!

2013 is going to be my year.

Setting Up Shop...Almost Done...Dammit!

There is a lot to do when setting up a business, but I am almost done now. This week I am setting up The Emporium Shop which means that I get to figure out all of the little settings at PayPal. I have The Shopping Cart set to calculate Shipping & Handling based on the order amounts, but The Shipping Calculator will not adjust the shipping cost for larger orders...lol.
Read Instructions, Adjust Settings, Test, Hope it works the way they say it will work, and if not repeat process. When that little thing is figured out and we are all happy all I have to do is to take good pictures of the products, order a New Printer or cute little Label Printer, and set up my USPS Account to pay for shipping via The BME PayPal Account. When I figure all of that out, Test It and we are happy, I can get back to cleaning up Master Castings, to send to Mike so IWM can make more Production Molds, Cast more models, and after I pay them, I can add more products to The BME Shop.

I...am...almost...done...Dammit...I...am...Almost...Duhhh.
I FUCKING LOVE IT!

PRODUCTION MOLDS 1 & 2 IN THE MAIL!

YOUR GOD DAMNED RIGHT!

I AM TO EVIL TO BE HAPPY...

PLEASE DON'T EAT ME !

I even called IWM Mike to warn him.
LOL...!

PRODUCTION MOLD 1 Preview

I have The First Production Mold set up now Brothers. These models are for Abominations Of Dark Science Collection One. Each of these Collections will consist of six Monsters. This collection includes 1 Base of Murg Imps, 1 Grizzought, 1 Death Digger, and 3 Rattle Wings. 

Production  Mold 2 will be for The MURG Flies I think. I am going to sale them in a nice Swarm and the little rascals will take up a loot of room, so they will get their own full mold.

Getting The Metal Ready

I am cleaning up all of the Master Castings this week, for The Production Molds.

I have decided to get IWM working on Production, as well as the new Series Two Sculptures this month.
Mike tells me that they can zoom up a simple Production Mold in a day, but I want to be sure that we have Productions Castings in hand ASAP, rather than waiting until October first to do this...YOW!
This extra time now will speed up the process for opening The BME Shop in October.

Hurry Up & Wait...

So I ordered a nice new set of Micro Files with my paints and other supplies the other week.
For some reason Neal's War Store showed the item IN Stock. I get everything but The Damn Files, delivered last week. The files I needed most, since I have all of these damn tiny Murg Flies and other figures that need to be cleaned very well indeed, as they are the models that will be used to make my Production Molds, which is what you Brothers Of Mine will be getting for your collections.

I am going to wait until the end of the month, to see if Neal can get these little tools to me, his worker said they have been waiting for them from the manufacturer. If there is no joy or a delivery date by next week, I am going to have Neal,s people credit my order to another set of paint, and buy the files elsewhere.

These things happen...lol...but I need the damn files to paint my stuff, and more importantly, I need them to get these Masters ready for The Production Molds.

Fun ain't it?

Paper Work, Paint, More Masters, And A Billboard!

This was a busy little week. I had my first meeting with my Business Advisor. We talked for about 30 minutes, and she had me fill out a few papers. It was really kind of easy. So I know more than I did, and have a good idea of what to do next to get BME Up & Running Legitimately.

My all new Paint Supplies came in from The War Store, and another batch of Master Castings arrived from Iron Wind Metals too.
Now I can actually start painting all of these Miniatures. Oh Glory, Oh Joy, Oh Wonder! This is the first GOOD Paint that I have owned in years.

I think I can still paint, but before I even try to work on My Pewter People and Monsters, I am going to try to (neatly) mess up this cool little Billboard. I need to experiment with these new Varnishes and Glazes a bit, then move on to the real work.

It might even be fun...

Tools, Toys, and Paint!

I just ordered a bunch of fun goodies; Micro Files, more HO Scale Buildings, and Vallejo Paints, Washes, and Primer. I need the files to better clean the Masters. The new buildings are a part of a project that I have wanted to do for years. These will be used with part of The Dead Road Terrain.  The Vallejo supplies are going to be the real source of work, as I have not done any painting in years.

MASTER CASTINGS: SERIES 1 ARRIVED!

The first set of Master Casting arrived from Iron Wind Metals today. I had to smile when I counted them. Mike sent me 13 of everything...lol.
If you know me, then you will understand the significance of this. I did not ask Mike to send me 13 of each...

I will post some pictures soon...
