Because everyone's a perfectionist and keeps retouching bits and pieces - that's why there's a deadline!

I've also received my mini as well, so I'll get some pictures up soon...

They say better late than never , so finally my miniature is in the post. I am very sorry for sending it so late, I had more work than I would have liked.
Anyway, I hope it arrived safely.

That, unfortunately, is you Aemir...

According the my last contact with him, he should have sent it out to you before the deadline, but I've not been able to get in touch with him since then. If you haven't received it by now, I think we have to assume that it's either missing, or Forestcrab hasn't posted the figure.

I'll arrange a replacement for you.

Give it time.
It takes awhile for parcels to get to Russia. :(
Last year I was on the cusp of giving up on it ever reaching Aemir before it finally arrived. ;)

So if Forestcrab said it's on it's way I guess it is.

Hi.
:( :o :(
My apologies for the whole Asrai community, Beithir, Aemir and Rowena.
My life has been in quite distress for this year and things got worse right after my last message with Beithir.
I'm really sorry for the worry and uncertainty my absence has produced to you.

I would like to re-join this wonderful community now, as my personal life is coming back to its tracks.

Rowena, I'm terribly sorry for letting you wait. I have recieved your mini. Safe and sound!
It's absolutely beautiful, the detail and colours and everything! And the base, it's so well made and suits the mini so nicely.
Will send pictures.

Beithir, I have not yet sent the mini for Aemir, but I will.
I hope the replacement painter hasn't finished yet. But if so I can paint a second mini for the replacement painter.

Aemir, I'm sorry. I will do my best to get the mini for you ASAP.


Yours sincerely Forestcrab.

Glad to see you're back Forestcrab! Sorry to hear you've been having a hard time...

I'm glad Rowena's miniature has reached you safely - now she can sleep a little easier!

As for Aemir's miniature - I had taken on the responsibility of replacement painter myself, but it's nowhere near finished yet so you are more than welcome to carry on and send out your own mini to Aemir. I think it would be better that way, as was originally intended :)

Forestcrab, I'm glad to hear things are getting better for you. There are always things one can't control, so you shouldn't worry about it too much, what matters is that it's hopefully over now.
I am very glad you like the model. I tried to replicate the colour scheme I found on your blog - does she fit? I had no experience with those colours and am still not sure how much i succeeded.
Thank you for letting us know.

I know this is threadnomancy but I was wonder if this was going to occur again. It looks really fun.
