I've been working like a mad man on this in the last few days, and spent a lot of money, time, and effort on this, and ya'll won't be disappointed. :D

I have to thank my friends at the Fighting 1:18th forum for their help, they have been a total Godsend to me, over all this time. I cannot thank their website manager/owner NSA enough, for his website, and all the help his website members have helped me with this, and allowing me me to pimp the DSA site there.

Their kindness, input, and advice has meant the world to me, for my projects for you all.

October, like Halloween for me, will blow you all away.

Words alone cannot express to you just how excited I am for y'all to see my work, after all this time. I have not been lax.

This will be my gift for you all. And you all truly deserve it.

[RageProphetXIII]

You got to stop copy pasting your responses now.....lol

At least give us a little skit or teaser so we know what to expect. The anticipation would be greater if we knew that what was coming is great

I know it's been a long wait. It certainly hasn't been easy for me either. Over all this time I've had to piece things together bit by bit, and buy everything piece by piece, and most times, build it, trim it, and then paint it. Over three sets worth. On what money I have left over on my part time paycheck. I know many here have offered to send me Paypal money, but to be honest, I haven't even had the extra money to even open a checking account, so folks could send me money. God's honest truth.

And with all the money I've spent over these two years, I could've saved that and bought a PS4 or a X-box one, maybe even both. And as much as I love playing with you guys online, I also know that in truth I'm just not that good of an online player, and that this gift to you all would mean more to everyone here, than having me play online with you, and suck at it. This project will mean much more to everyone here, and our guests.

I started this thread as a joke, and once I saw how much everyone liked it, I over committed myself, and that was my fault. And for that I apologize to everyone here. But once I committed myself to this, and the fact that I'm a perfectionist in my art, I wasn't going to post anything until I had everything perfect, and up to my personal standards.

Where I failed was not taking my financial situation into account at the time. But please put yourself in my place. Would you rather give your friends a basic pan baked cake as a gift, or a hand crafted beautiful wedding cake ?.

I have asked two local talented graphic computer artists to help me with this, and shown them what all I have, but they both blew me off. So not only have I had to build all this myself, but also had to try to learn new programs to make this be the very best I could give you all, on my own time, with a very limited budget.

I know Boss offered to help, but I didn't want my project, to become his burden.
This is not his obligation, but mine. I took this all on for myself, and I'm beyond proud to do so. Like making a movie, production takes time. But when you all see it, you'll see just why it took this long, and it will blow you all away, and our guests.

Yes, it's been two years. But when you see it, you'll understand. You've all waited two years. All I'm asking now is for two weeks.

But Light, Rage, you both make good points. I really do need to make some teaser pics. But to be honest, I really didn't want to ruin the surprise. You guys tell me.

So all day today, Daz, myself, and Yentis spent the afternoon getting everything set up for our haunt for tomorrow, but we found out we needed some more battery packs, some more lights, and black duct tape.

When we got back home, we noticed two big boxes on my front door addressed to me personally. And I was like Huh...????. But we were bringing in all our supplies right at the time, so Yentis and myself carried the boxes up to my studio for the time being. After we got our lights up and working, and most of the front porch set, and we were dog tired, Yentis and myself went upstairs to open the boxes I'd received, and I was just stunned.

A site member here who I'll not name out of respect for their privacy, gave me over 121 action figures, fourteen vehicles, and three set pieces. Some of which are very rare, for my toy projects for you all. I did not ask for this, nor was it expected. It probably took me over an hour to unbox and separate them all. It was a very wonderful and special surprise. :D These boxes contained several hundreds of dollars worth of toys.

To this person I send my true thanks, and blessings. I'm still in shock and awe of this gift. God bless you, and I thank you for your kindness. And your gift means that I'll be able to share your gifts with everyone here.

Once again, I thank you so very much. This means a lot to both Daz and myself, and I cannot wait to share them with everyone else here.

God bless you and yours, and God bless the DSA !.

Des.

Amazing how much love there is in this clan. Great work.

[JDEZ09]

Warning ⚠, NOT a Deslock production. It is funny nontheless. I figured this would be the right place to put it 😁.

Plus we need to draw more attention to this thread.

Soooo how about them skits Des, how are they coming along?.

Soooo how about them skits Des, how are they coming along?.

Quite well, thank you. ;)

As I said before, this has become a labor of love for me. For the PTE series, our store only gets them at Christmas time. So the sets, vehicles, and what not that I couldn't afford last year, I was able to get this year. :D So yeah, it's taken me over two years to get everything I need for this project.

Even the guys at the "Fighting 1:18th" site have been fussing at me to show them something in their posts. And God bless them all, they've also been such a help, and truly supportive.

And this has really tormented me over all this time. "Do I really want to ruin the surprise ?".

I've worked so hard, and spent so much money on this, and plus I really want to blow you guys and girls away with what I've made.

I have to really thank Daz and Yentis for supporting me over all this time. I wouldn't have been able to do this without their support, especially Daz's.

When you guys see just how awesome this is, you'll understand just why it's taken so very long. It's just been if I've had the time, I didn't have the money, and vice versa. If I had the money, I didn't have the time to work on it, due to work, and just being too tired to work on it after getting off work at 12am.

But I have almost all the figures I need, only just a few more. It's the sets that's been killing me. Just so much detail work. Just imagine having to build an entire pirate island dock out of scratch ?.

Ratix's mansion is almost done. The fast food restaurant IS done. The pirate island has become my nightmare. It's just HUGE. And I mean really huge, and heavy. The DSA barracks is almost done. The spaceport is also huge. Much more work than I expected. But I want it to look just right.

The best way I can describe it is like making all the props for a movie. But right now everything is almost 99% done. I swear it. I swear to God himself I'm not bullshitting y'all.

I honestly think that if I get anymore toys for this, Daz is going to kill me. She has been such a blessing for me thru all this.

But I am true to my word. As soon as I can get some damn time off of work, I'll post some teaser pics for you all. You've waited a long time for this, and you all deserve it.

[Kamui]

At least Daz is going back to her management job, so she'll be able to join us at night again. So at least I have that to look forward again. And now that it's warming up, I can finally get back to my beloved DSA toy projects again. It's hard to spray paint props and sets when it's 27 degrees outside. It's so very nice to type this all out in my studio, and not see my breath, because it's been so cold in here. So I can't really complain.

Even the guys at the Fighting 1:18th site ( http://www.fighting118th.com/forum/index.php ) are looking forward to seeing our skits for you guys. Daz has told me that if I bring home anymore styrofoam for my sets, she's going to beat me. That, and the ton of toys I already have. ;) I had been going out of my mind trying to figure out a way to do proper water, and one of the guys at the 1:18th site sent me a fantastic youtube video on how to do it. It was simple, and amazing. :D And now that it's finally warming up, I can get back to work. :D

You probably don't need me to tell you, But I've been waiting since 2012 to see more . From the time you first released one I eagerly looked forward to another one lol. I hope it's going well, But I wish you would give us a snippet at least to hold us over :(.

The folks from the former clan known as Black Sun used to have a comic called "On the Battlefront", And it was fun to read, But I was really sad that they cut it short so quickly even though there was so much content to go by.

[Deslock]

And I thank you 'Mui, and everyone else for their patience with this.

One of the very main things that was holding me back, is that I now have five houses and a farm, but I didn't have any furniture or accessories. Not very great pictures if you have a house set, and no proper scale furniture for it.

But this problem has been solved in just the last few days. I now have enough furniture to finally finish the sets. I have beds, complete bathrooms, and enough furniture to complete the houses, but some of them need to be repainted and weathered. And now that its finally warmed up, that shouldn't be a problem now either. I have the sets, all the furniture, the glue, the paints, even the proper scale wallpapers. And as I said before, its finally warmed up now, so I can finish this up, once and for all, and get these projects finally done.

I do wish I had a few more Jets, but I can work with what I have now.

In regards to sets, I still have to build the spaceport, but I now have everything to build it, and I still have to build the showers for the DSA barracks. But that's about it. I eventually want to do a complete city street, but I have enough on my plate right now as it is, so that can wait, even though I wish I didn't have to wait to build it.

I know its been a long wait, but it will be worth it. You have to remember that I've had to get everything for this within my limited funds, access to the proper props; and that if I couldn't buy them, I've had to make them by hand, which hasn't been an easy task at all. But this all has been a labor of love for me, for my fellow DSA, and our guests here; regardless of how much money or time it has taken me.

Oh my God 'Mui, you have absolutely no idea of what's in store for everyone here. This has taken me over two years, hundreds of dollars, and a shitload of my time. I've built a DSA homebase, barracks, Two complete pirate ports, a fast food restaurant, five houses, a farm, and hundreds of action figures, and a crapload of vehicles, all out of my own pocket, and a few very generous donations from members here.

At this point since its warmed up enough for me to spray paint outside, I'd say give me about a month to get everything finished, work permitting. I know it's been hard waiting for these two years, so a month shouldn't be much more.

No one would be happier to get all this done, than me. I've had to wait all this time also, to share this with everyone here. ;)
