I assembled and painted these.

For the most part I build and paint all the Warhammer miniatures I sell - those that I did not do I will not claim as having done so. Sometimes I buy some already assembled miniatures to paint, but to me most of the fun is in both assembling an effective mini and painting it up.
A large portion of what I sell is stuff I've played with once or twice and found that it doesn't really suit what my game play is, or that I just don't have room in my army for it, or at other times it is a piece or two that I've replaced with a newer miniature (often with different options/weapons) I've painted. On occasion I make things that would be interesting to assemble and paint but don't really plan on playing, so it is rare that I make stuff purely to sell on eBay - this is my hobby, I enjoy doing it, I enjoy the feedback and comments from the Buyers who like my work, but I don't want to get in the mind set of 'manufacturing' or assembly line production of stuff because then it isn't a hobby anymore! :)
As you can see from the two pictures, I passed on two of my four Black Templar Sword Brethren Terminator squads; I had loads of fun and enjoyment in both creating them and fielding them for a match. I've been working on a new Black Templar Marshall in Terminator Armor, so I might pass along my older Marshall and a maybe squad or two along with him. Black Templars and Space Wolves are the only two armies that I've had any consistency winning a match or two with, which is really good for me because they are great models and themes to create and play with (not so much fun to spend long hours building, painting, then getting my pants beaten off me in a game like my Eldar and Ork armies are)
I've also successfully shipped to many international destinations like the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Israel, Russian Federation, Poland, China, New Zealand, Iceland, Ukraine, Japan, France, Netherlands, Finland, Sweeden, as well as the the UK and Canada. I declare all international shipments with a customs forms for both your protection and mine.

I assembled and painted these, too.

Me:
I've gotten hopelessly addicted to painting Warhammer miniatures - I suck at playing pretty much all of Games Workshop games except GorkaMorka, though. It is a lot of fun for me and quite therapeutic to paint and flock and such. I love the attention to detail. I'm no pro, but I do hold myself to a higher standard as I've progressed these past years.
I've also got Shadowrun fever (the RPG, not that XBox game), and have this rather wierd urge to have one item of everything by Dream Pod 9. My oldest offspring is into Thomas the Tank Engine, so I look at those alot too.
I'm pretty easy-going here on eBay, as long as there are some communications involved and you don't threaten me with inappropriate feedback. As a Buyer, I usually wait a few weeks before asking when my purchase will arrive: If I don't hear back from you, I start the process, but otherwise I am in no rush, and as long as you tell me you are still making some forward progress, we're good. When you are the Buyer, as long as you tell me your intentions I will work with you. If you need to back out of the deal after you have won, talk to me. Things happen - I most definitely understand that; I don't like leaving negative feedback unless it was just something heinous like that idiot law student in DC who had a bad case of Buyer's Remorse over a buck fifty, or you lie to me. Typically I won't leave any feedback at all if it was unexceptional; possibly just a positive "transaction completed" with no recommendation.
