SOP is no attached base.

Huzzah!

Now, if you guys could just figure out how to package about 8 hours of spare time in the blister, I'd be golden. ;)

Thanks, sir. I wasn't really feeling it either. At least not initially, but the fundicators must have somehow been channeling all their excitement. Once I started, I had a lot of fun with it. Happy you like the orthos... [cheers]

A friendly reminder has been sent to the fundicator who has yet to advise me that funds have been sent to B-3.

All fundicators have reported sending payment to B-3. Thanks to all for making my fundicator wrangling duties stress-free and simple.

I am awaiting one set of details from a fundicator before I send all fundicator details to speck for him to issue IWM webstore credits.

Now we get to patiently wait for B-3 to post some pics of the master sculpt when he has time and approval to make them public.

Final set of fundicator details have been received. B-3 has confirmed receipt of all funds. All fundicator details sent to speck for issue of IWM webstore credit.

Actually, the final set of fundicator details has been with me for a couple of days but I have not had the chance to draft the PM to speck with all the fundicator details until this morning.

Once again thanks to all for making my fundicator wrangling dutiess low-stress and simple.

I understand from B-3 that he has started sculpting the master and should have something to show to the QCC soon. Hopefully, we will all get a sneak peak at the master sculpt once it has been approved by the QCC.

This looks great! ANy word on how we're doing the next round? Vote again, or just take pledges for the next most popular subjects?
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.

So it has been a couple weeks since fundicator stuff went to Speck. Anyone heard anything about the credits yet? Looks like the Dragoon took about a month for it to hit IWM accounts.

(I want to get my IWM order placed so I can have some things for gen con ready.)

I do not believe that the IWM webstore credit has been issued yet. I will give speck a polite bump.

Speck - bump  :)

I know you can't rush art, but any word on how the sculpting is going? Has sculpting begun/finished/awaiting blood-sacrifices to the appropriate muse for inspiration? Any particular challenges with this little guy so far? It looks like the right arm might have my old nemesis: tiny little cylinders that no adult-sized finger can grasp! But maybe they will be integral or one big piece like on the Legionnaire this time? Any updates are appreciated!

In fact I have started on this one I just don't have anything worth sharing at this point.  To be honest I have started a new job as a custom jewelry designer at a jewelry store in Dayton and it has sucked my face off learning the ropes.  I have been working on the Bakeneko as I have had time to and still have a life.  In the future I will only have time to sculpt Fan Financed projects.  Please be patient with me while I completely rearrange my life.  :D

Received and many thanks speck!

Once again thanks to all the fundicators for their participation in this fan fundication effort and your patience. Hopefully we will see the Bakeneko available for purchase in the near future.

Any indication what the next step is for FF? When we're moving on to the next item from the poll?

The two items from this round have already been funded. Most likely nothing new for a few months until at least con season is over.

Shucks, that's kinda disappointing. Well, I waited how many years, I can wait more for a little pause.

Well, I couldn't wait. I already spent all my credit (and then some!) Guess I will have to dig up some new money when these actually come out.

Speaking of which, how is the work going on this little guy? B3 still swamped at his new job? Con season bring everything else to a grinding halt? Any info is appreciated.
