Darren Carnall's creative corner

[Lord Vicious]

.

On that website of ours, we set up I guess you could call them donation buttons.... where people can gift us 10 miles, 20 miles, 30 miles etc... essentially people can pay for a section of the trip. Could be driving through the grand canyon... could be monument valley... yosemite national park.... could be anywhere. But they will be paying for a section of it.

I just sent a donation for 20 miles your way, buddy!

 

[Darren Carnall]

"No problem at all Darren, you've been a class act to me since the day you arrived and watching your development into the custom artist you are today... it's been an honor. I'm glad to help and I hope to help even more eventually."

"And I totally understand about the Terminator ........It was an achievement in more than one way. One of the best damn customs I have ever seen, I'm glad it will be staying on your shelf... where it belongs!"

Josh..... I can't say strongly enough what those words mean to me. So thank you, for everything you said!

I just bought you ten miles Darren.

Les... if it can be arranged, even if just for a short while I would LOVE to meet you, and you know that. So I hope that can be arranged.

I can't thank you enough for what you've just done for us.... I showed Jane this thread, scrolling down the page letting her read it all... and when your post popped up saynig that you'd bought us ten miles... she screamed

THANK YOU Les...

I just sent a donation for 20 miles your way, buddy!

oh my god, you guys!!

I.... genuinely don't know what to say. What you're all doing for us.... you're all amazing

 

[Lord Vicious]

No problem Darren!
It's thanks to you I now own a fantastic Anakin which became a centerpiece of my collection of which I'm really proud! You are a true artist and you should never have to sell the stuff you worked so hard on.

Speaking for myself, I'm honoured I could make a little contribution and help you making sure your honeymoon will be everything you hoped it to be...
:chew

[abake]

Sorry Darren, I wanted to send soem miles your way, but paypal doesn't work in Colombia.
Hope you guys can make your dream honey-moon!

 

[Darren Carnall]

I.... really don't know what to say with regards to this UNBELIEVABLE amount of help, support and well wishes that I've been getting from you all, whether on here or by email.

The support has been literally astounding. Jane can't believe it, lol.

I'm sitting here genuinely not knowing what to say to you all............

Just know this, that however things turn out (and there's still a long way to go.... so my figures will still be getting sold, but hopefully to good caring homes, lol), through this literal flood of kindness and generosity from you all... you will all be helping me and Jane have just the most amazing honeymoon possible. And if things really go to plan, then I'll be able to meet up with some of you while we're over there.

You all

 

[Shropt]

Wow, what did I miss?

Just sent you a few miles in exchange for all of the entertainment and wonderful sculpts you have provided to SSF!!

Have a great honeymoon!!

 

[Darren Carnall]

shropt..... we're both VERY greatful

well folks, I'll be deciding over the weekend which of my figures will be the first to go under the hammer.... anakin? legolas? obi-wan? aragorn? ...time will tell, lol

Thanks Mooncat for that laugh !

I hope all goes well for you Darren !

 

[Mooncat]

lol a friend of mine once told me about an experiment

When you first meet a girl start putting a dried pea into a jar everytime you have sex with her

If you eventually marry the girl then the day after you get married start taking the peas out of the jar every time you have sex with her

He was told that the jar would never become empty

Needless to say the guy that told this too my friend was married

 

[DarkArtist81]

Now THAT is funny.

 

[Captain Faramir]

I'm saving up my pennies to help contribute to your trip my friend! I know it won't be much, but I want to be helpful anyway. But you have to promise that when you stop by Salt Lake City you let me know so that I can meet you two in person!

EDIT: Oh, and I can't wait to see your Faramir repaint when it's finished!

 

[Darren Carnall]

Mooncat, I'm kind of hoping it's going to be the other way around, but you can never plan these things I guess

Faramir, don't be using up your pennies, save them for yourself. The last thing I want is for people to be making themselves skint, trying to help Jane and myself. I already feel bad enough for all the amazing help we've both received so far.... I don't want a guilty conscience added to that

The Faramir's should be shown some time this week I think... hope you'll like them

(and for anyone who's not aware of my upcoming personal collection custom figure sale, or why I'm doing it I've added a new post on my blog telling you all about it)

 

[Les Walker]

Darren! For crying out loud! You feeling BAD or GUILTY for your FRIENDS helping you out!?!?! C'mon bro! If you weren't loved....liked....Ok...thought of a a great source of cool stuff, so we do whatever to keep you in the mix....no...that's not fair....you are a cool guy...OK...we do ACTUALLY like you... ...BUT....C'mon! We wanna see you and the future Ms have a great time, and possibly MEET YOU!
