& then...
& I will save you from asking right now: No, nether of these Juggies are, or ever will be, for sale. Not even as bodies or seconds. Please stop asking, lol!
SO! Juggy #2 landed on Thursday! A day early! Woohoo! & Rayvin is awesome! I mean, SERIOUSLY awesome!! She slipped in a Fortis medallion as a gift! She didn't have to do that!! With only a little over three weeks to prep, base, paint, tick, detail, & finish, I gave Juggy #2 a serious talking to... & dove in headfirst!! I was motorin' along on prepping him! & then... Doggone it!! The same sticky reaction that happened on #1's seams, happened on #2's pour!! Back to Rayvin with the reluctant news... Lol, if I gambled, I might take her up on her suggestion! 😆 So here I am, waiting again. This time for Juggy #3 to land on Monday! I said last post that you learn to roll with the setbacks you encounter. After this NaMo, I should qualify for the Olympic gymnastic team! 🤣 It's no one's fault, it's not as if anyone is TRYING to send me bum resins, so you just have to laugh at the chances & move on! & I will save you from asking right now: No, nether of these Juggies are, or ever will be, for sale. Not even as bodies or seconds. Please stop asking, lol! For those of you who are not in the resin hobby, Juggernaut is exceptionally popular, limited to 110, & not everyone was able to buy him as he was sold by lottery draw (you had to be drawn to have the opportunity to buy a copy). So on the secondary market, unpainted Juggies are selling for $700 to $1000 each. They are very sought after! I got curious & asked a friend who has been in the resin business for over 30 years about this. I wanted to know the whys & the hows of the phenomena since I have never encountered it before. I knew she'd be able to answer my questions about it! "Somehow moisture has gotten into the resin and it now will not cure. Even if you Dremel all that out, you can't be sure it won't pop up elsewhere." That he'd be "...a 'time bomb'!" That's good to know if I ever encounter another AR in the future that gets sticky! I don't ever want to sell a time bomb!! & so, I wait some more, hoping that "third time's a charm"! I'm not even sure I want to try to do NaMo now, there's not a whole lot of time to accomplish everything I want to achieve on him in the time left. NaMo Juggy is to be a sales piece, & he must be perfect. & perfection takes time! 😉 In other news, while I have been having Jugernaut drama, Kylo has gotten around to basing his model! He hasn't done any painting yet, but I expect he will get to it when he's good & ready! Happy painting all! May your ponies behave better than mine!
