How much to get your signature tattooed onto my arm? No, make that my heart.

:wub:

As an aside, have you ever been asked to design a tattoo? Not that I have any, not do I intend to, but your style certainly lends itself towards tattoos.

It doesn't say when the drawing is going to be.

The drawing happens the last day of the convention, September 2nd. From the website:

  1. Donation structure:
    • .95 cents of every $1 raised will go directly to the nonprofit cause as designated by each raffle
    • Approximately .02 cents of every $1 raised will be used to support the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation overhead and administrative costs
    • Approximately .03 cents of every $1 raised will be used to cover Paypal fees and tax reporting
  2. Minimum purchase must be $10. This minimum ensures that the maximum percentage of each ticket purchased will benefit the designated charitable cause.
  3. Ticket purchases, though supporting nonprofit charitable causes as outlined above, are not tax deductible.
  4. Buyer’s name will be entered into raffle once for every ticket purchased. The NOVA Open Charitable Foundation will use an accurate, independently-developed electronic randomizer to select the winners.
  5. The final drawings in each raffle will be listed on the raffle item page.

  11. Armies will be packaged and shipped to the winners with tracking information provided to winners.
  12. No members of the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation, Inc., Board of Directors, and no member of the NOVA Open Executive Board, are eligible to win.

Trust me, you don't want my signature xD It's a mess.

I get asked to design tattoos a lot and have ended up drawing a few - thank you for the compliment!! I might have been a tattoo artist in another life.

Since I didn't win the auction is there at least a pic of the entire Sabine fleet together?

What is your process for the cockpit window glass? Especially on that ARC

How do you get THAT much gloss?

3-4 thick layers of 'Ardcoat. It is a rather unforgiving process, and it's critical to ensure that each layer is fully cured before applying the next.

"I am Grand Admiral Thrawn. I have been away, but now I have returned. I know some of what has occurred. You will fill in the details when I come aboard. Rejoice, Captain, for the Empire will rise again."

It's that time of year again when I endeavor to create a worthy fleet for the incredible NOVA Open Charitable Foundation's international charity raffle! This year's fleet will feature, you guessed it, Thrawn and a fantastical Chimaera-themed fleet of Empire era ships.

Look forward to progression pics over the next couple of months, and I will be sure to let y'all know when the raffle it open! Thank you for your continued support everyone, and may the Force be with you!

Still waiting on a pic of the whole fleet from last fall all together. 🍕 🍺

And as much as I'd love to get you one, I do not have one. I ended up shipping the models off separately to NOVA, and bring the final four with me in my luggage because I was running so far behind. I might be able to hit up the raffle winner, but there's no guarantee

I see. That is a disappointing explanation but an acceptable one. Looking forward to the new project. 🍻

What do you use and do to get that gray? Is this entire fleet going to be based in that with the red cockpits?

The gray is Mechanicus Standard, blended up to lighht tones with Golden brand artist's acryllic's titanium white and blended down to abaddon black.

And yes, engine glow and cockpits will be in red
