Ebay listings

I'm selling off a few things on ebay, trying to get rid of some clutter.

I've got some figures, some miniatures and some other stuff up there.

Currently my big deal is a collection of 74 ship in the Star Wars Starship Battles game.
I dig the game, I just don't have anyone to play with, nor do I really have the time to go to a gaming store and HOPE that someone there likes the game.

I've also got a Marvel Legends Icons Woverine up as well.

I may also be selling a few painted models in the future... so keep an eye out.

6 inches from the sun

It's freakin' hot. Really hot. 100degrees + since like June. It's September tomorrow.
Add to that now that it's humid here too (Arizona's monsoon season) and not good at all for any spraying.

So, basically, I've not gotten anything done... painting wise. I've got some Royal Venom Assault marines that have been cleaned up, modified, based, greenstuffed and are just waiting on primer in order to get them started. But as humid and hot as it's been, there's no way that the spray primer is going to look good.
I made that mistake last year on a couple of test models, and the result was a really grainy, badly coated mess. I painted it anyway since it was just a test model, but i was not happy with the result in the least.

I'm debating picking up a Land Speeder to work on while I wait for the weather here to improve. I can get it converted (yay magnets) and cleaned up in the meantime. Nice thing about Arizona is it's great in the wintertime for painting. I've got one of the Warhammer 40k Assault on Black Reach captains as well I picked up for like $2. he's all cleaned up, but not based. I should do that.

Not much else going on otherwise, but I'm looking forward to reading the new issue of Mysterious Adventure Magazine by my friend Scott Godlewski. He's an incredible talent, and the other guys doing stories are really good too. It makes for great old-school comics. If that's the kind of thing you enjoy, I highly recommend picking up a copy. It's a small print-run, but well worth the effort to find.
