Waving money at my computer screen probably isn't going to help.  Where does one go to help this project?

Post in here. Somebody will keep a running tally on money promised and then it will be collected via PayPal and sent in one lump to the sculptor so they can work their magic. Some time after that you'll be sent an iron wind metals voucher for the amount you pledged. You can use the voucher to order things from iron wind metals' website and online store.

Ah, I see.  I'm sure I can afford to pledge $100 that I likely would have spent on minis anyway :D

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.

I can contribute US$25 and I can volunteer to be the Lead Fundicator again if nobody else wants the job.

No problems B-3, my pleasure to make a small contribution to the BT community and give back to IWM who have been wonderfully helpful and supportive of me.

Ok screw it, I'll tack on $50 more ($150 total pledge from me).

That takes us over the line. I can't do the amalgamation though, so if someone else can do that, then we are all good.

Good news. Looks like Feenix already volunteered to be our resident scholar and gentlemen for this particular effort  O0

By my count we have pledges equalling the funding target of US$800. The pledged fundicators are:

faithless - $25
RoundTop - $50 $100 $150
Lorcan Nagle - $50
Sartris - $150
Tai Dai Cultist - $100
ph423r - $50
The Wayfarer - $25
Spaceman - $25
sadlerbw - $100
Spenetrator - $50
beachhead1985 - $50
Feenix74 - $25

If I have got this list wrong or missed any pledges please advise ASAP. As noted previously, I will start sending PMs to the fundicators over the Easter long weekend.

For those who have fundicated before, welcome back! You know the drill and we will be doing it by the numbers again.

For new fundicators, welcome to the club! We will try to make this a simple and smooth process. The PMs will include instructions on how to make payment and the details that I will require to send to speck so that he can issue you with your IWM webstore credit vouchers. I will post irregular updates on where we are at on the admin side of the process here in this thread. IAMCLANWOLF, B-3 and speck may also choose to post updates on the creative and production sides of the process here as well. Please note, that there can be a short delay on the issue of the credit vouchers, speck can be busy at times trying to keep the IWM website/store running properly but I will continue to politely pester him until he does it.

Thank you for your support and co-operation  O0

Will this mech be aviable to buy via Iron Winds? Or do I need to fund it?

It will be available to anyone.  The fundicators simply get to turn their cash into IWM store credit, with the added benefit of getting a new mini in a few months :)

Cool! Thanks for info. So as I understand we now wait few months for the mini to be created, right? Also is there any chance that any variant loadout for this mech will appear? (I mean in record sheets, not mini parts)

Considering the factory was destroyed shortly after production started, I highly doubt it. It didn't even rate an entry in TRO 3145 or TRO 3150. It was relegated to a footnote in a historical book.
