  1. Thanks a lot, guys!

    This place has always been a place of comfort and peace!

    You all are always so supporting and I'm glad i have this place and you guys

    I knew that some day it just had to happen with my dad, but this was all just so sudden

    Oh, well, i guess you can only climb up stronger, after falling on your ass to the bottom of the well.

    I hope things could only get better from now on

    A few days ago, i've had more bad luck...I wasnt paying attention and almost broke my ankle because one of the highest doors of my clothing closet fell off and landed on my ankle...So it banged up my ankle pretty good, but ill be up and running in hopefully two to three weeks...Its just my luck, i guess dry.png

  2. Hey guys,

    Some of you may have noticed and most that follow the FB page have noticed too that i've been away a while. For those who i had pending offers, i am very sorry!

    I've just had a rough time...It just looks like I'm caught in kind of a $h!t storm lately...

    So i think its time for a rant of explenation


    It all began about 7 or 8 months ago, when me and my girlfriend broke up after a one and a half year relationship. That kinda broke me at the moment.

    The next thing that happend was my education. I was studing to become a graphic designer, but the gouverment decided they had wasted enough years trying to let me graduate, so they stopped my funding. When you're studing in Holland, the gouverment funds your transportation(By bus or train, called OV) and give you some money to buy books and let you pay for school. I only had two years to go and they stopped my OV, which would cost me about 50 euro's a week for two years and the money to buy books etc, would stop next year, so that'll cost me about 1500 euro's for the year. I'm from a low income familie, so i had to stop school for that reason. I could kinda handle that

    Than my dad died...Those of you who are on the FB page of the multiverse, saw and supported me during the event. Thank all of you for that, it helped me a lot that my 'verse friends supported me. I couldnt go to the multiverse during that time, cause we don't have internet at my dad's. So i had to rely on wifi and FB on my too slow phone. These where the updates from the FB page:

    Hey guys, I haven't been active on the 'verse a while, cause something went wrong with my dad's heart. He had a sort of heart attack(I don't know how to translate it) I don't have internet in my dad's house where i've been living for a while now. I hope some of you where i've got pm and trades going on with will somehow get this news, cause i won't be coming online this month

    Sorry, my friends!

    Thanks guys, he's out of the hospital now and he's kinda fine now, but within the month he needs a bypass
    I don't really like the idea of a 80 year old man getting open heart surgery...

    Hey guys, thanks a lot for everything!
    Here's the latest update:
    His heart has decreased in health...Two of the three major artories in his heart are clogged and the third is getting thighter and thighter. The chances of him surviving the bypass are 20% and that's not the only thing...They scanned him for the reneval for his drivers licence and they found something on his liver...a cancer of 10cm and it's not one he can live with. Today the docters confirmed that he couldnt be helped and they're giving up on him. They said that in this condition he just can't survive ANY surgery. His liver can last months, while his heart can stop beating any minute now, which is the biggest problem... It's gonna be a hard time and i hope he gets trough it peacefully...

    Thanks for the best wishes guys, but it didn't go so well
    Sunday the 28th my dad sufferd a cardiac arrest at half past 9. My sister performed CPR and he was transported to the hospital. He layed there the whole night. When i got there at half past 10, it didn't look good. He was weak and he could't talk very well. Later that night he seemed to get better and almost like he was before that. Around 3 o clock, i sat in his room and had a conversation with him for an half hour about everything and the plans he had for when he got out of the hospital. I thought he was okay, so i went home to get some sleep. My sister was there all night. The next morning my sister and her husband wanted to go out for a smoke, but somehow my sister wanted to go back to say goodbye. He complained about his heart and than in 3 minutes he passed away painlessly. He was 80 years old. Last monday we buried him. It was a beautifull service, i spoke at the service about him. As everybody will, i will miss him, rest in peace, dad...

    Around this time I met a girl, who supported me in this time of need and i grew to love her. But lately I've became kinda hard to deal with, with everything and all. So last saturday after 5 months, my girlfriend suddenly told me that she was tired with me and my futureless excistence at the moment(I can't seem to find a job), because I'm taking her down with me in my downward spiral of negativity so she broke up with me, until i get my life under control...

    Yep, I kinda feel screwed up now and trying to cope with everyting. But I'm back again, though

    Still got my head above the water though!

    PS:
    On a positiver note there's been a lot of birthdays and new guys around here and normally I congradulate and welcome everybody, so Happy Birthday to most of you and Welcome to others! :)

  3. Glad that you feel that way, Zach smile.png
    This is a place for all of us to feel at home, a place of comfort, our internet home

    I'm just glad that we all can meet each other here and offline sometimes smile.png

    Edit:

    I also am very happy that from all the people we have here, from all around the world, everybody is willing to help each other out, with Minimates, prayers or just sightseeing tips

    You guys are all great! :D

  4. GREAT SHOTS, PUNISHER!!!

    I'm sure everyone has seen the gallery I posted of IM3 Mates, but I just can't get over how great this shot came out. Old Playmates teleporter accessory + Select Mark VI Iron Man armor bay + unintentional lens flare = me looking at it every five minutes.

    Of course, I like this one, too. (Mark 42 is just off camera, holding the glove in his own glove.)

    This one was done entirely practically, no effects. Called up the HUD on my smartphone, laid it on the ground, angled a clear piece of plastic (a tray cover, actually) over it to catch the reflection, stood Tony on the lip of the tray cover and presto.

    Flip that Select IM Mk VI bay on its back and it's a full bay for Minimates!

    Like i said on FB, i wish we had those diorama's, they look awesome!
