Hi All!

I'm super stoked to get this one out there. I've had it finished for some time and I can't wait for you guys to get your hands on it.  I'll put some images below, but first, let's sweeten the pot on this Fan Finance.

I will be giving away two (2) 3D printed prototypes of this miniature.  The first will be given to the biggest donor.  But I fully realize that not everyone has a chance to be a big spender, so I will be giving a second away to one randomly selected fundicator as well!  As soon as funding is done, I'll send some PMs to the winners to get these babies shipped.

Now, feast your eyes on some screen shots and a painted mini!

Oh, that was me! I can (with a few hours worth of work) turn any of my 3D models into line art.

I have a DeviantArt out there somewhere that has more of my line art.

Having been so lucky as to receive one of the prototypes myself, I think this miniature needs to be done yesterday.

Put me down for 75 $.

Also, for above reason, I'm not going to  take anyone's "slot" in Stinger's giveaway.

Hi All!

So, after talking with our top funder, Mwenski, and he requested something a little different, and not too consequential, so I have a spare prototype!

As such, I have selected 2 random funders to get the prototypes.

The winners are:

Luciora and Lorcan Nagle!  Congrats!

Check your inboxes, but they aren't going to be shipped for a few weeks, depending on when my printer can have it done.

Congrats all and a huge thank you for this successful funding!

This is my first time financing a project - should I wait for a PM from the organizer, or is there a PayPal address listed somewhere that I can send my payment to?

In the past Speck would either message all doners directly with instructions about how to send the funds and what information Speck needs to send IWM vouchers, or Speck would indicate that there was another plan.

When the Hellspawn was funded, the plan was for Speck to pm all the participants (using the list Xiwo Exrase posted) with instructions. I imagine that this week after the holidays has been busy for IWM.

Depends what you mean: I'm pretty sure it's too late to add funding, but it's actually too early to buy the mini. Things are moving along though.

I will be sending the vouchers out today. You will receive a email from IWM with a voucher code & a link. It is best if you go to IWM webstore and log in with your account first before you click the link in the email. Just easier for you, after you click the link, it will add the voucher to your account. At check out payment page you will select PayPal or Credit card payment and then check the Use voucher checkbox below those payments. This will let the store know you want to use your voucher amount and if you spend more then the voucher the store will then have you pay the difference with which ever payment method you selected.

My apologies all for the long delay for updates and the rewards for the top fundicators.

Here is a bit of an update on the model using feedback from the wonderfully talented and helpful IAMCLANWOLF.

Take a look!

Also, I'll be PMing the winners to confirm shipping adresses and I'll have the 3d points out the door in the next few days.
