havanaholly Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It's fantastic. I want to go sit on that porch and drink something toxic and dance like a wild woman. I love it, Brandaen! I don't want to drink anything toxic, but I'll sit with you and sip single barrel 18 year old bourbon and make smart remearks about the johns.

Momof2Moos Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Brandaen, it looks incredible. I really love the laser work. So intricate and the perfect addition to your build. Is the design on it true to those in NO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't enter the contest, but if I had "placed" I would have been thrilled! Congratulations! It sure is easy to go thru money buying mini's. Addictive really, but guess there are worse things!

brandan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I am thrilled !! Super excited , I am in second place and can't wait to see everyone else !! I had such a tremendous year so I can't complain . For the first year ever I feel closer to a mini goal . I wish I could one day do minis all the time and quit my day job .

brandan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just thinking also how lucky everyone is here , we can talk and learn from eachother . There is something to be said for making miniatures as well . We as a group of artists who love minis can't allow everything to be made by a machine. So castine guild school is even more important than ever !! Ok , soap box down lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
