COMING SOON ATR HOBBY MODEL KITS!

ATR HOBBY MODEL KITS???

Yes ATR Hobby Model Kits.  I am going to sit down and work out the details, but coming soon,  Homeworld will soon be offering Model Kits of Homeworlds Blog Exclusives.

There have quite a few requests for past figures.  Unfortunately, once a Blog Exclusive sells out... it sells out. But I think I might be able to come up with a way to get you a reasonable facsimile while maintaining the integrity of Homeworld  Blog Exclusives.

If I can...I will.


See!!!   There's Always Something!  :-)

New Camera

Well I asked the clerk for an idiot proof camera with a rechargeable lithium battery.  What i came away with is the Fugi Film  IDIO-T500  Did you catch that?  Its very friendly and does what I want.  Its small, compact and while it only has a 12X zoom, for now its enough.  What good is a 28X zoom if you cant get it to take the pictures you want?

Here's some of the first pictures with the new camera.

 It grabs the right colors and the picture looks good...to me at least.
 A close up that I couldnt get with the the other camera
Just a simple wall shot testing out the camera.  I think it works great for me.









Life just got a whole lot easier.  :-)

Overlord...The Awakening!!!

Awakening...that depends on your POV.  Im sorry, getting the camera took longer than I thought...NOW<<<

I am not a journalist.  While I can complete a coherent sentence, my interview skills suck.  I am not a salesman, so I dont know how to properly hype something up.

So forgive me if the news you have been waiting for...the awesome news I have been promising...comes without the fan fair and confetti most might expect from news of this nature.

I try to use different artists.  Give everyone a chance to be a part of something.  So we have a new artist with Overlord.

Originally, I wanted this artist to do the Centaur mode artwork for me, but then Bry reminded me of a few things.  And the Centaur mode steeds are a little down the road.

I have always admired this man.  He was my mentor of sorts when I started seriously collecting.  Im a rough man.  Im frank and in your face.  But my writing skills made me seem like a huge ass.  Not that I intended or tried to be such, my writing skills just made it seems that way.  He would explain things like this too me.  Little things that I never thought of when communicating. 

His was the collection I always admired.  His knowledge...and his passion...And his artwork.  Probably one of the more prolific and under rated artists of his time...his knowledge and passion for Micronauts rival none.  Yet his presence has touched each and every Micronaut collector alive.

You have seen his artwork here on Homeworld before.  Its been a while since we have seen anything new from him or in fact heard from him.  When I caught up with him and presented the project to him, he was quite eager to participate.  And Im glad to have him on board as I dont think anyone can capture the essence of Micronauts like he can.

You have seen his work before...one of his more notable colored drawings...There Goes The Neighborhood.

Without further adieu...I present the original artwork for Overlord...



By DAVE WAUGH!!!  Yes...you read that right...DAVE WAUGH!!!

I let Dave do his thing.  This is what he drew.  This is the card art for Overlord.  It will have a CLAMSHELL stapled to the card so that the card artwork can be preserved with the most minimal of damage.

The painting itself is acrylic.



Overlord will come with a hand made cloth cape and will also come with a figure stand.  We were trying to go totally retro on the Overlord card Micronaut Style.  Here is a mock up of what we are trying for and how we envision the finished card.
Dave Waugh returns in dramatic style!  WOW!!!  With a BANG heard around the world!  What an entrance!!! Im sure we can look forward to much more from Dave in the near future.  Because like we say here at Homeworld...

THERE'S ALWAY'S SOMETHING!!!

Sultan Ordering Info Here

Sultan is HERE!

I am doing things a bit differently.


Sultan...a 3 3/4" Custom Baron Karza was created by myself and Bryan Wilkinson.  Bryan modeled the head and had Shapeways make it.  I made the molds, cast all the parts, and put her together.

Sultan is Now available to order.  The cost is $99 + $15 S/H.  Canada post has made some changes.  The small packet option I used to use is no longer insured.  For an extra $5.00 I can get a tracking number and insurance.  So thats the route Im going and why shipping has gone up $5.00.  The tracking number.

There are 17 Sultan Figures made.  6 are gifts leaving 11 available for sale.  Sultan is a Homeworld Blog Exclusive.  Which means it comes with the ATR Hobby 90 day No Questions Asked Warranty.  If your figure breaks for ANY reason in the first 90 days, I will repair or replace it.  No Questions Asked.  Sultan ALSO comes with a Lifetime Guarantee.  If for whatever reason you break your figure, as long as I am alive, you will be able to get your figure repaired for a small fee.  AT NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!  We dont need any stinkin extended warranty.  :-)

Sultan will be shipped in the same box style packaging as Roboid and Flight Commander.  This is the last time as I am going with new packaging styles for the future.

I was forced to release Sultan a bit earlier than I wanted because of some IMPORTANT NEWS coming after this.  The labels arent done yet but will be by mid week.

So I am mailing out the "Gift" Sultan figures on Saturday June 22/13.  Thats next weekend.  All paid orders will be shipped out on June 29/13 or the following Saturday. 

If you are interested in Ordering Sultan, please send me an email to golddober@gmail.com with the header Sultan Order.  Orders WILL BE CONFIRMED within 24 hours most likely less.  This is a first come first serve basis.  If you didnt receive a confirmation, your order didnt go through.

I will be posting a notice on Homeworld the moment they are sold out.  Any left for sale by tomorrow will be open to Homeworlds Exclusive Layaway Plan.

Did I miss anything?  Im sure you'll tell me.

So...Sultan is now available.  Im going for a coffee and to the recycle shop and will be posting this AWESOME NEWS in about 1/2 hour.  expect confirmations within an hour.

Sultan is Now Available to Order.

Once your order has been confirmed, you will receive an invoice within 5 days.  All transactions are handled through Paypal.
