Post subject:  Quitting Hobby - putting all on Ebay each sunday

Hey all , Its been a while since I have posted on this website. First of all I wanted to say a big thanks to anyone who has given me any positive input for this hobby. I entered back into this hobby in March 2013 searching for something to bring me back some confidence in the real world that I lost from the hardcore underworld of MMO gaming ( Kids if you are reading this I IMPLORE YOU , do NOT go down that path , even the most disciplined youngster can fall foul to the lure of the temptation of the online EGO ) , listen to the wisdom of people who have grown up around the INTERNET GENERATION. I am now age 22 , Moving on with my life and this hobby has helped me get from a stage of Hardcore angry , elitist , uncaring person to a more respectable understanding and caring person. I have spent vast sums of money on this hobby and the odd few tournaments (Rob Jacobs if any remember me - Guy with REALLY LONG HAIR ) overall it has been a very fulfilling experience.

And onto the matter with my models.

I have roughly 75-80% of the entire collection that I will be listening on Ebay each sunday with Robshaw_2013 tagged as my ID. Look out for it , I have some in demand , Gandalf / grey on horse , defenders of rohan etc , metal ents , serpent riders. 3X GW 6 foam layer cases and 6X GW Small 3 layer cases , GW Trees (Old ones and new plastic - Mirkwood project , 4x Realm of battle boards , already painted , flocked painted. flocked GW hill , (the singular big one , OOP ) that I might donate to GBHL channel.


I hope whoever gets them finds as much enjoyment and purpose as I did , I never did actually bother with the painting , so also have many paints going up at least 80% of GW current range. I generally spent and spent and never settled down to actually or play much , including many Winston and newton paint brushes , GW ones as well.

One final thing , Look out for Arkman In future for any sci fi fans , its a Sci fi epic I am currently writing.

(This is not a sale post , as shown by no monetary values indicated ) just merely keep an eye out on ebay each sunday , as im sure most of you do anyway)

Keep the hobby alive so more and more people can find some enjoyment and the value of community of it all. If just one young adult was swayed from Online MMO Hardcore level , and learned as much as I have in this hobby , It would merely serve as an example that temptation down the paths that could be destructive can also be beneficial , helpful and creative and ultimately provides a great learning experience in this Instantly grabbing world of impatience the 21st century has become.

Thanks Rob :)

Happy Strategy Battle Gaming!

Sad to see a hobbyist leave, good luck.
Why do you have a problem with MMO gaming?

Short for MMORPG -- Massively Multi-player Online Role-Playing Game, such as World of Warcraft or Lord of the Rings Online.
