Snake Charmer print shift
over 5 years ago – Thu, Sep 06, 2018 at 12:11:23 PM

 In the comment section I brought up that there are a few problems that remain that are still causing delay on finishing the production molds.  One of the problems only became apparent after I posted the ink washed minis.  As you can see, there is a print shift line that goes trough this model.  i has been corrected, re-preinted and remaster molded as of 5 minutes ago.  I will need to make sub master casts of her, and then she should be ready for production molding.  As always gang, please keep being patient, as the end result is going to be well worth it I think!

Shipping starting early next week!!

Well folks,  we are sorta rounding into home on this very long home run!  :-)

Instead of waiting any longer on bases from China, we have cancelled that order, and are sourcing the bases from our friends at Reaper who have given us a really good deal on USA made product.

We will begin shipping the first pledge groups early next week!!!  I need you all to make sure that your address with Paypal is the correct address to ship to.  You will receive a link to our website where you will need to purchase the shipping for your particular pledge group. Just follow the link and make the payment and minis will be headed your way!

That is the good news.

The bad news is that I have been the only bartender at my restaurant for the last month,  which is not leaving me enough uninterrupted time to work on finishing the final molds for this project.  This means that the shipping will be very slow for the next month until I can get my primary business shut down for the winter, and can dedicate my full energy to wrapping this up once and for all!

I apologize for this, but Effincool is still very much a part time side gig, and I have to make sure that the business that provides the bulk of my financial well being is taken care of first.  

Several folks have asked for pics of the final casts of all of the minis, so I ran a set up last night after work, and cleaned and inked them.  I brought them to work with me this morning and took pictures for you all to see.  I hope they make you as happy as they make me.  Truly a labor of love!

(Please excuse my amateur photography skills,  I think I got all of the pieces in this)

Thanks

John

Quick update on prints and mastering
over 5 years ago – Mon, Jul 02, 2018 at 02:29:13 AM

Felipe here to give you a few notes:

1) I have attached some pieces spun from the master mold just to wet the appetites. We have a few other pieces mastered and ready for production molding but while I was looking at these I thought I would snap a quick pic and send your way. (These are not production pieces, nor the masters we will use to make production pieces.)

The restaurant is open and has flooded 6 times this season, and John also lost 2 weeks due to a 4mm Kidney Stone that we are still not sure it has passed but think it has left the kidney, so he is back on his feet .

2) Everything is printed, analyzed, corrected, & finally reprinted. The bases are on order and materials will be here soon, but mastering & production molding these delicate pieces may take a little more time.

3) Our newly acquired business partner Ed is getting up to snuff on molding and has a good molding schedule setup with a week of free time coming up to focus on this project. More to come...
