| @Darkseid_of_town Those spheres are magnificent. Although I would say I'm more jealous you have a good relationship with your father.... |

Quote:Originally Posted by BronteI had wanted that bone sphere since I was eight years old, or about 47 years now....I agree they are really special and mean a lot to me. As soon as the bank again allows traffic in their lobby I will likely place a few of them into my deposit box for safekeeping. My relationship with my father over the years has been with its share of ups and downs, but its always been with the knowing we are still family. A few years ago he gave all his guns an ammuntion, books, shell casings, even a family flintlock rifle to my older brother , without ever even asking me about it...I was surprised but as it was his stuff , what can you say....turns out this was my "gift" to balance what he had done then for my brother. I am happy with that...quite happy |

Quote:Originally Posted by GanaSothThe original sphere of crystal from the collection had been displayed at our local library in a display and someone broke into it and stole it...then dropped it going up the stairs and destroyed it as they fled. The insurance from the library was sent to my grandfather to replace it with another of equal value or quality...this one is smaller by about an inch , from the original....I would guesstimate that it holds a value upwards of eight hundred on the market if ever sold. |

| @Darkseid_of_town In my opinion, your grandfather's creations are more valuable than an item bought and passed down. You say you create these now yourself. Do you ever sell them? |

| For all the Dragonlance fans out there. I just finished painting Raistlin Majere! I'm sure that most of you that have read the series will appreciate the red to black robes transition I tried to capture in the miniatures paint scheme. I hope you guys enjoy the progression pics.           Finished Pics:         |

| @EbaySeller today, those six took me a little over four to five hours straight. If it's a character like Raistlin (that I previously painted) then I'll go by a certain color that they are supposed to be. Anything else, I normally just do it off my own accord. | ||
