nigels, you rock! - sunhuntin - 12-15-2018 thanks so much, @nigels!! a box of goodness today... loads of minis, 2 harry potter butterbeer cups and a wand. super mentioned in another post i made about this might be 3d printed. is that correct? needless to say i spent most of yesterday going through drewbenns checklist, double checking i was ticking all the right boxes, and then updating my website. the minis-palooza. finally finished the DC mash up and most of the TMNT ones, as well some more non-licensed ones. RE: nigels, you rock! - Super - 12-15-2018 Nigels is the best! RE: nigels, you rock! - Nigels - 12-15-2018 Glad to hear they all arrived safely Sun, I'm always nervous sending stuff in case it goes adrift or the package gets sat on by an elephant or something. But it seems it all got there in one piece. Super is totally correct, that is a 3D print of the 'Elder Wand' (I think I'm not a HP buff) or in other words the one that Dumbledore (is that spelt correctly?) had and which was stolen by the bad dude. I printed it in a pint 'Silk' PLA (quite a challenge as the length of it needed it to be printed at a 45% angle) I was in two minds about trying to paint it realisitically, but to do so I would have had to watch the movies I guess and besides I think it looked great so left it as it was and just cleaned off the supports etc... Consider it an early Chrimbo gift P.S. When you get a chance if you could update me on any individuals or whatever you're missing I'll keep an eye out - although the blind packs seem to nearly have disappeared from most of the usual outlets, have they stopped production?!? RE: nigels, you rock! - sunhuntin - 12-22-2018 the wand is incredible. i did think it was the elder wand, though the color threw me off a bit. however, i love that its not the usual brown. it stands out! it is also my first ever 3d printed item, making it even more special. thanks again, nigel RE: nigels, you rock! - Nigels - 12-22-2018 You're welcome Sun, its always nice to share these things
