Oh *Whew* That's a relief to hear. I was debating reapplying since I have a couple of newer pieces.
I never liked Relic's take on Jess Goodwin's models. Vigil, ok, but the helmets are off, thighs too large, hands and such too large, and like Relic's Space Marine, the backbacks are dinky.
So I want to put my money where my mouth is and get involved...
Please put Your Name and Entry Level Character Temp in the subject line.
Local applicant preferred (not required) as there is no relocation for temp positions.
