Project Update: WIP pin photos
Hey all, please refer to the previous post about delays in the survey process (he's been discharged now but we're otw to tekko in about 16 hours so I don't have more than this that I can do). Thank you for well-wishes!
The following have been approved but minor edits are being made to some, those have an additional caption explaining what!
These are JUST samples. This is to show the enamel colors and make sure the molds look correct even after polishing/grinding down. They have not been plated yet OR printed on. Please also keep in mind that the mica glitter portions get clear enamel over them (not exactly the same thing as epoxy) which is why they currently look like soft enamel.
Please ignore any defects in the enamel, these are rushed specifically to make sure that there's no last-minute changes needed and aren't cleaned up.
Fully approved to move forward:

Edits need to be made:
1) GHOUL:
I have to re-buy her mold because I accidentally approved a proof where her flame isn't transparent...🥲 but I want to show the effect of all the recessed metal, including her eyes! Her pupils are half-height so they're still sunken in. Despite their initial hesitation with her I am super happy with how the details were captured. I will also ask them to lighten her hair a shade. It will look sooooo good when she has the darker plating and the transparent flame.
2) BAPHOMET:
there are 2 spots that are the wrong enamel color, she's otherwise fine!
3) ELFLING:
I've been assured the jump ring hole will be drilled out for all mass produced pins and they make pins with chains ALL the time so I trust that, but I pointed it out anyway as it's very obvious. The blue circle shows an area that's supposed to be a tiny "tunnel" (faux cut-out as mentioned in an earlier update), so that's getting adjusted. I think they just mistakenly filled it and that the mold doesn't actually have to be changed.
The mini bat is also approved so far, and I've just received notice today that the bat charms are shipping to me this week.
This is happening so quickly that I think I'm actually going to ask her to slow down with the pins because I don't want another debacle like the last step of the cat paws being rushed (those who know, know).
Just wanted to share before taking off for the event. I will post his WIP spiders soon for him since he still can't use his hand really. Talk soon!
