Hello, I just wanted to let you know I have sent off for the pins to be made!
If you don't care about the technical details of the pins, you can honestly ignore this post!
Originally, the BT pin was going to be soft enamel, with screenprint/expoy -this was mostly to have a black dye on the metal to make that stand out more.
However, I have decided to change the pin to hard enamel with black nickel and screenprint (so same as the sere kit design)
The change is because screenprint on soft enamel goes on the epoxy, which can give it a lifted/layed effect, which is good for some designs but I'm pretty sure would not work for the BT pin. This means the metal parts won't be as black, but it will still look good, I promise! I have worked with black nickel a lot, and it is very nice!
For those who don't have much experience with how pins look/are made, I guess you'll have to trust me on this one, but I just wanted to let everyone know the materials are slightly different.
Some of the lines and angles have been altered ever so slightly in the design as well, and the final colours have been chosen!
I'm keeping the surveys unlocked for now so you can change your add-ons or pin selection at any time (since there are only 28 of you)
I will be reaching out to the people who ordered commissions real soon to start sorting that!
The magnets/stickers are on order, though i still have a couple of designs to go. Anyway, that's it for now, thanks!
hello! Just a quick update to let you know all surveys should be out so if you can fill yours out asap so I can get a solid count on what to order. That will be perfect, thank you!
Preorders will be charged in a few months once we are about to ship - the amount of pins etc we will be ordering though, will be limited to order yours early to ensure you get one.
Here's a quick preview of the (unfinished) Northstar sticker design. - Apologies, I still haven't finished all the designs yet (I have tone, monarch, ronin, legion fully finished, with northstar, ion and scorch to go)
We did it fellow pilots! The campaign was a success! So what happens next?!
In the next couple of weeks, Backerkit will be taking your pledges, and I will be setting up the surveys for the next steps!
The surveys will be sent in the next week or two, and you'll be able to pick what pin designs you want, alongside any sticker sets/magnets and such. There will also be the option to get other pins from my previous campaigns. Themes include DND, Warframe, mythological creatures, and more! If you backed the tiers with custom commissions, I will reach out to you via email to work out what you want drawn.
Shipping and any extra add-ons you get during the survey will not be charged until we are ready to ship in a few months. (when we have the pins etc ready) You will be notified in advance when that is due.
Please fill out the survey once you get it in your email because I need a rough count on how many pins/stickers/magnets to get made!
For anyone who decides they want to buy a pin or two but missed the backing window, the late pledge store will open when I put the surveys out.
Our second pin has been unlocked! (alongside the magnets!)
The magnets are now available to buy in the add-on section, so feel free to edit your pledge to include them. They will also be available during the survey, so if you want to get some/pay later for those, you can add them then! (add-ons added in the survey won't be charged until we are ready to ship)
They are on discount at £6 each or all ten designs for £50 (normally we sell magnets for £8 each)
I would like to say thank you to everyone so far as we hit our first goal a few days ago! we are also on our way to hit the second unlock, and theres still plenty of time for us to get there!
Also, I'd like to show a preview of the legion sticker, which will be in the titan sticker pack! still got a couple more designs to finish for these and I will update when I can! thanks!
