TGG1 - UPDATE #105 – Shipping Update + TGG2 Kickstarter FINAL HOURS + Videos + WereSheWolves 3D Prints
April 06, 2015Shipping Update
Everything is printed, and casting is moving well. Check out What's in each wave to see where we're at. We will continue to update this page regularly.
News from the spin-cast resin foundry
We received last week several videos from the foundry - this is how we first review the initial master casts for new models, and everything pretty much was approved for production.
We also received new physical prototypes in the mail last week for approval, which as granted.
The foundry is continuing to cast the full volume of troops to fulfil the entire Kickstarter, and I've got new packers in every day assembling them in bags of 5...
The foundry has also started casting the Cyberzombies, the Artilleries, and new resin Heroines.
And from the metal foundry...
We also in the past weeks, we also received 3 heavy boxes of metal to complete our metal Heroine casts. We now have Aleksandr Kurganov (KST), Kiki Bulldozer (JB) and the fabulous Nepharya (IE). We should be sent Baba Yaga, the final one, by the end of the week.
Wave 3 Shipments are continuing
As new models come in, we are continually sorting and preparing the Rewards Selection that are becoming complete, so shipping notices are going out every week.
The Connoisseur pledge/add-on
The very last 28mm heroines are being worked on now.
But we had an unexpected technical problem with the master of Nepharya. The original master that we used for metal and spincast resin turned out to be hard to work with for Hand-Poured Resin. In some very rare occasions, the way a mini is split in several parts has to be different depending on the type of material it will be cast in. So we are reprinting the problematic parts and it will be sorted very quickly.
Once we have all the 28mm heroines in hand-poured resin, we will then get a nice packaging for them, and ship that out.
Nepharya 54mm and the Printed Art Book will be shipped out separately, unless you ask us otherwise.
The Artbook
As mentioned in Update #95, we asked you if we should wait until the minis are painted before producing the Artbook, and your answer was a firm yes. We may not have every single one of them, but we'll feature as many as we can without delaying the project too much. We now have 3 painters working on them, so the work is moving well, and we'll show you more of those in our next Update.
Our TGG2: Darkness & Light KICKSTARTER is NOW in its FINAL HOURS!
