Quick update
about 6 years ago – Thu, Mar 15, 2018 at 05:38:10 PM

Just a quick word to let people knolw where we are at.  Gary Con took a ton of energy this year, but now that it is past, I will continue with the final printing and molding, so we are kinda back on track!!  ;-)

Bather #3 WIP
about 6 years ago – Sun, Feb 18, 2018 at 10:11:06 PM

Here is the 3rd bather as far as I have her done.  There is also a bunch of new images updated to the Backer Kit as well, so if you want to update your pledges, it would be a good time to do it.  The last 3 sculpts should be finished and uploaded on Tuesday with any luck.   Here is the WIP as well as the renders for the uploaded Backerkit pieces.  there is also the Foo Dog Fountain and renders of what the pool inserts will look like.  :-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Foo/Lion Fountainheads
about 6 years ago – Wed, Feb 14, 2018 at 09:11:54 PM

Just a couple of quick things

First,  the fountainheads will be separate pieces and available in multiples.  You will just need to add the appropriate funds to backerkit once we have that piece listed there.

Second.  I have ordered in a batch of clear resin.  We will be making blue tinted transluscent pool inserts as well as metal pool inserts.  Neither of those pieces will be as thick as the pool is deep due to cost constrictions.  This blue resin version should allow you to paint the pattern on the bottom of the pool and see it on the finished piece.   

Hope this makes you all as happy as it makes me!

Into the pool.

The "bath piece" in my head when I proposed this was originally going to only fit 1 mini.  felipe and I both decided that we liked the idea of a large wading pool for cooling off on a hot desert afternoon. 

To that end we have decided that this larger pool idea is just better for all parties involved.  :-)   This means that we are going to take a "loss" on the piece to make a better piece, which we do not mind doing at all.  We are after all Effincool Miniatures, not Effin OK Miniatures!!   

Having said all of that we have also both talked about the idea of a separate piece that represents a lions head fountain add-on that would fit on one of the ends.  If that does not go in this project, we will for sure do it in the next Sulatana Kickstarter!

The water is currently sculpted as a separate piece that will fit inside the pool.  Based on how this looks as a printed form, we might have to charge a bit more for the water insert if you want it.  Hope that is not a problem for anyone who does want that piece.  

Hope that you all like how this is looking so far.  

 

The Pool?
about 6 years ago – Thu, Feb 08, 2018 at 12:35:15 AM

I am designing the pool for the Court right now.  I am asking for a show of hands on how you would like it done.  My gut is to do it with the water sculpted in the pool, but it has also been suggested by at least one backer to design it empty to allow for "water effects" such as clear blue resins. 

 How do we vote gang??
