There was some talk of funding some Battlearmour or other, was there not? fit three in this quarter?
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

the Black Wolf battle armor squeaked out third place in this poll over a handful of other contenders but I think IWM was only planning on the top two from the start this time around... unless they add another because we've been so well-behaved? O:-)

PMs with payment details and other instructions have been sent to all Fundicators.

Four Fundicators have even reported making payment shortly after receipt of the PM - thanks guys you are making my life as Lead Fundicator much less stressful  O0

Hi everybody!  Please use the "send money to friends and family" option to avoid Paypal fees and please send US currency.  I will refund the transactions that have used standard payment method and £GBP. :D

Just to reiterate what B-3 has said, if you use the standard PayPal "pay seller" transaction, PayPal will charge B-3 a transaction fee which will leave him out of pocket for the privilege of sculpting for us. Please use the "send money to friends/family" transaction which should be free for you US-based fundicators and will see PayPal charge a small fee to us overseas-based fundicators.

Also if you insist on send GBP or Euros then I will happily take the amount you have pledged and just send on the amounts in USD that B-3 requires (consider the rest an overseas transaction fee ;) ). However I will not be able to perform this "service" for transactions in Dinars or Dong ;)

My foreign transaction fee on 150 usd was about $6 from Canada.

Yep, at least I can pretend that it is costing PayPal a lot to ferry the electrons from one side of the Pacific Ocean to the other.  :(

I am a huge supporter of more Battle armor, especially the Black Wolf, so if IWM is willing to open a third slot for that cause, I would gladly lend my support. Maybe doing the occasional 2 mechs and 1 "other unit type" pole would be a good ideal to keep BA and other vehicles from having to directly compete with mechs.

Fundication update:

- all Fundicators have reported in
- majority of Fundicators have made payment
- one payment to be redone as B-3 prefers portraits of dead presidents not the queen's portrait
- three Fundicators (including me) have committed to making payment in the coming weeks

Once the final payments have been confirmed, I will forward all the Fundicator details to speck for him to arrange for IWM webstore credits to be issued. Thanks to all the Fundicators for making my job easy so far. So now we wait patiently for IAMCLANWOLF to post some nice ortho drawings  [drool]

In the process of moving to a new house. Hope to get started on orthos in the next couple of days.
Bacon-echo looks like it'll be a lot of fun to draw up. Looking forward to getting started asap.

Maybe doing the occasional 2 mechs and 1 "other unit type" pole would be a good ideal to keep BA and other vehicles from having to directly compete with mechs.

It was my understanding that they cut it back from 3 to 2 to make things easier on B-3.  As I recall, the idea when they brought the FF Program back last year was to have 1 poll per Quarter, with 3 minis done per Quarter.  We got 6 for the entire year.   :-\  Personally, I'd rather have a Definite 8 than only 6 out of 12.  As far as a "Top 2 'Mechs and Top 1 'other' " Poll goes, I'm up for that, IF B-3 can manage.   O0  But that is between him and IWM.
To me, Repros are 100% Wrong, and there's NO  room for me to give ground on this subject. I'm not just an Immovable Object on this, I'm THE Immovable Object. 3D Prints are just 3D Repros.

Something to bear in Mind. Defending the BT IP is Frowned upon here.

IWM has required the limit on FF projects because of their production limitations.

You know, something like this isn't a terrible idea. This may not be the best thread for it, but I think this idea, or a modified form of it...
IWM has required the limit on FF projects because of their production limitations.

Bearing this in mind, would be a profitable idea.
