Tomorrow you'll be getting an email with your final shipping costs. Those will be charged 48 hours from the email, and immediately afterwards I will be locking addresses!
Make sure you have your addresses correct or your order may arrive to the wrong location!
Production is done! All product is now either with us getting sorted or on it's way. I'll be finalizing shipping costs weekend, and addresses will lock and shipping will charge once backerkit has completed their review. Many thanks for your patience!
Production has begun! Models should be done spinning in about a week, meaning we'll hopefully start sorting and shipping by the end of next week - almost the very day of our original estimate!
And at the same time the final payments have been made by our Pay Over Time backers. We've sent out the surveys so get those filled out in the next 3 weeks (we'll be locking those on May 26th) and handle any errors on your final payment if you didn't receive one yet!
The coupon code previously sent out for our web store, bogwyrm.com, has been re-enabled for our Pay Over Time backers as well. Remember that this can be used to combine shipping from there with your pledge from here. That is also good until May 26th so place any orders with that to keep from paying shipping twice! Feel free to reach out to us here or at [email protected] if you've since lost it.
We may still be in the throes of fulfillment but we're already looking forward to the next campaign (as are many of you judging by the messages we've received)! We have learned a ton about crowdfunding and STL casting from this release and will be bringing those learnings into our next project to make things even smoother.
The complexity of getting the planned Creatures And Monsters STLs sliced up and casting-room ready is many times that of our infantry campaign and will require months of preparation as this isn't any of our full-time jobs. We also have some nearly-new sculpts to complete and even get your input on (Max was saying something about flaming bull-daemons?). So while I apologize to those who voted for those...
I don't have to apologize to our hobgoblin voters! These guys are almost entirely ready for casting as-is and we even have a couple mastered already! We will be using the time during their campaign to work through the more complex sculpts for our next (but still not final!) collaboration campaign.
Start following and sharing it here! https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/1f8490c1-7eb9-4a14-b954-ae25ad1127d9/landing
We also have an opportunity for your input right now. We're looking for something special to add to the hobgoblin line for this campaign. If you have any ideas beyond the existing sculpts leave us a comment below!
With masters complete we are ready to start production! You will be receiving an email notifying you of any remaining charges coming on your card. These charges will be for any add-ons purchased from the Pledge Manager post-campaign, as well as any taxes, including UK VAT, that need to be collected. Make sure your card on file is still active!
We’ll be locking addresses in the next couple weeks so make sure those are correct as well. After locking those we will charge shipping and fulfillment will begin - we’re on the home stretch now!
Pay Over Time backers - this doesn’t apply to you yet. Hang tight until those final payments go through!
Thank you all for your patience! I'm excited to bring a long-awaited update. Mastering has begun! A set of tests are on their way and once we give final approval production molding and casting will begin. Here's a couple sneak peaks of the process, all under the skilled hands of Andrew Barlow!
Here's the master mold being prepared with the prints
A freshly baked master mold!
The first masters...
We'll send another update when production begins, followed by another when we start shipping. It wont be long now!
