Darren Carnall's creative corner

great video Darren!! i love the part at the 2:43 marker. It looks like Legolas is turning and aiming at something to his right. badass!!

you better make a killing off of these figs. if the UN doesn't help, then we'll have to start bringing in religious figures as well for your cause.

 

[Darren Carnall]

thanks reiny.... that's my favourite part too

and @ 'religious figures for my cause'

 

[superdoug]

great video of them. good luck with the sale of legolas. i really think it's going to make more than you think.

Such an awesome video Darren, and proof of the level of your artistry. The video gave me chills bro, I'm being dead serious. Your Aragorn and Legolas are the BEST ever made, by anyone, both are stunning pieces. I hope you get every penny that they are worth.

I know that I will be watching them, Aragorn especially. I'll be trying to win that one.

Thanks Doug. I do hope so, it would certainly make letting him go a lot easier and a bit less painful

Thanks about the video, I figured I should get it finished and out there before the figure is no longer mine. At least I'll have that as a record of what I once had. A nice addition to the photos I have, always nicer to see something in video form, gives you a better impression of it in three dimensions. Glad it looked alright!

and THANK you about those amazing compliments, I don't really have anything to reply to that... that's simply an unbelievably nice and generous thing to say. So thank you

awesome. let me be the first to place a bid and get this sucker rolling. i'll wait a couple days before i get the Security Council tanks fuelled up. I'm seriously, if George Bush somehow tries to mess with this balloting process too, i'll be holding up my boom box on the white house lawn, playing "Shame on a n****" by Wu-Tang. Then I will totally TP his house. This thing had better sell well. Or by God there will be repurcusions!!

 

[Les Walker]

Watchin it bro! Watchin it!
Good luck to you! Hope you get the price you seek.

And GREAT video man!

 

[superdoug]

well for the moment I'm the high bidder. I'm sure it will be short lived but at least it'll help bump the price up for you.

anyway you'd let us know what the reserve is?

 

[DarkArtist81]

Good luck Darren! I know it will score you a nice price.

 

[Darren Carnall]

eightsamurai - I love your posts. And thanks for the bids.... you

Les - thanks about the video. I'm glad I did these, won't make the figures feel too far away once they've sold. Like I can still look at them... if that makes sense, lol

Doug - for the bid... i wasn't expecting to get any bids this early to be honest.

and.. I hope you don't think me cheeky here, but I'd rather not say the reserve. I've always found in the past people stop bidding when they know the reserve, even if it was under what they planning to spend. One of those weird freaks of eBay.

Josh - thanks man

(and you remind me, I must get some new posts up on the honeymoon blog. It's been far too long with everything else that was happening here. Maybe I'll take a photo of the wedding rings we had made or something... or the wedding invites we made last weekend. Something anyway... lol

Great video Darren! Love the added background music, too. Aragorn looks fantastic in those close up rotary shots! Btw, I know it's for an extremely good cause and all, but I still think you're a little crazy for letting him go...sorry!

I know I probably don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning Strider, but I'd love to be the one to give him a new kingdom to rule. Anyway, best of luck with the auctions!

 

[Rugby1970]

If I'm reading it right, it looks like you've hit your reserve! Nice! AND still lots of time to go in the auction.

Very nicely designed auction page, too! Awesome template and really well thought out!

All the best!

 

[galactiboy]

Good luck on the Legolas sale... you've already got a nice price going for it, with a lot of time

 

[Captain Faramir]

May 3rd--Faramirs appear--got it!!!

Yeah... the other heads I was doing took a little longer than planned (with the annoying family distractions) but there are only the 3 Faramirs on my desk now.... so nothing else in the way
