Unfortunately just seeing small black boxes with white x in them, and can't seem to see the photos this morning.
Strange, I did use Google Foto's for this.
Anyone else who can't see them?

I saw them when they first went up, but now it's not showing.
CannonofDoom spews his shit at me all the time and I haven't banned him.

Ditto
Photobucket has now re-destroyed my pictures, so the first half of my collected works thread is no longer working again. To see my website version of the campaign thread, with fully functioning pictures, please go to https://bigsmallworlds.com/

I hope it works now :|

My user hasn’t been online since May either. But i haven’t painted it yet. All constructed though.

I hate people who don't paint their armies, hate them with all my guts. Beats me how they value other things over painting, like eating or brushing teeth.

My surprise has reached its destination country.  :-)

Now hope the postal service there delivers before the holidays.

Pretty sure the package I sent has gone missing.

Darknight has been away for a month, so obviously cannot mediate. Should I contact the recipient directly, in order to check with the local postal service?

Depending on destination country you can perhaps track it from that country's postal site.  I know for USPS even untracked packages from overseas at least ping distribution centers with the customs form alone so that way you could at least have some idea how far it got.

Over a year has passed since the post above – and it can be confirmed that Zygmund’s package has gone missing. However he has persevered, sent a replacement and despite the best efforts of the World’s postal services I have finally received my 2017 surprise.

The Balalaika Maiden from Bruegelburg by Lead Adventure Miniature



The figure has a couple of small chips that I will have to touch up but other than that has survived well during her travels – which included a 3200km round trip back to sender as it was delivered to an empty house 100m from me and the Estate Agent returned it rather than trying to find the correct recipient.

Thank you Zygmund – a great figure.

This was my original surprise to JAK.




The idea came from my favourite Discworld book cover.

It got missing during Christmas/New Year 2017/2018. I hope somebody still got it, recognized it, and has put it into good use.  :-)

Wizzard! What Sourcery was this - that’s a nice figure and a clever and simple conversion with the mat. Very disappointed I never received it.

Vetinari also has a magic carpet that he stole when he was in Klatch so hopefully I’ll probably have a need to steal the idea sometime in the future.

That's an amazing figure. Clearly he's set off for adventures on his own.
