I just wanted one thread where I could see everything I've done over the last 4 years, in one quick glance.
Making these was one of the best things I think I ever did, and I had a LOT of fun doing them. I learned a lot about painting and using dullcote and glosscote together to achieve a nice "new toy" like satiny sheen. And I got to do one of my favorite things I missed (and usually botched) from childhood; putting decals on vehicles. I freakin' love stickers. And I love proper placement of stickers. I never knew I had such bad OCD as a child, but it's pretty apparent now. I loved making all of these, damn it. But since moving into an apartment, I now no longer have an area (like my big ass backyard previously) to work on things like this. And for the past year I just haven't really wanted to customize vehicles any more. They take up too much room. I just moved recently (ok like back in August, but I'm still traumatized from it) and the whole process of boxing everything up carefully, and then having to unpack it, and realizing the whole time it was boxed up... Sadly... I didn't miss it as much as I thought I would. It was an actual anxiety inducing CHORE to take all these out, figure out how I wanted to display them, stick figures on them... And that really sucks. That something that used to bring me such joy was now just kind of.... I dunno, MEH... But this... THIS was me at my prime, damn it. And on here and joe customs will be the only place I'll be able to see these now. *tear* Maybe some day I'll do it all over again. |

Damn man. That sucks. I hope things get better for you soon. It's nice to see your customs all together. Shame you've got to get rid of them. I've bergen there before and I know it sucks. Just keep your head up man.

Aww thanks, man! I figure I can always make them again later. Getting a Whale, a mint APC, or a Bridge Layer, or THREE Snake Armors in awesome condition may not be so easy to accomplish. So if something has to go...

And here are the shelves without them now... They're all sitting in boxes under my desk right now. It feels less cluttered in here now at least. I guess that's good.

I want to thank all of the tankers who bid on my customs today. I really, really appreciate it. You guys have really helped me out. I also have a rant thread planned about a buyer who screwed me over on multiple items and wants to make payment arrangements because he or she can't pay until a certain date. I don't like that. That messes ME up and messes up people who are willing and able to pay what they bid.
