Updates

I'm still locked out of Facebook and their "customer support" is a joke.  It's all automated and every path I take leads back to the "You've been suspended until we decide otherwise." I cannot access messenger, any of my pages...nothing.  So, for the time being you can always reach me here: Old School E-mail

All but one of the Marauder orders have shipped.  Yay!

A limited number of the Marauder kit will be made available for sale.  This kit is for advanced builders.  It sells for $160 plus shipping.  Sorry about the price but resin has gone up 30% in the past years and shipping is going through the roof as well. 



The Enforcer is also going to be available in limited numbers.  It was originally a Patreon Exclusive, however, those same Patrons have agreed to allow the mech to be sold publicly. $140 plus shipping. 


Other projects in the work include an updated Atlas and I am working with the designer of the Quickdraw and Savannah Master to remake the Vindicator.


More later!

Facebook Jail

While I was fast asleep the other night (Ambien ER will do that) an e-mail came through asking if I had changed my Facebook password.  Within a few hours of that e-mail another e-mail came through saying my account was suspended for violating community standards.  I clicked the link in the first e-mail saying that it wasn't me that asked to change the password and was taken to a screen stating that I had posted images of child sexual exploitation.  I haven't been able to do anything or to get any help.  Everything redirects me to the "your suspended" screen and when I click on "Help" it only gives me the option to log out or change my language.  I did manage to get to a screen where I could log into the "Support" area but it wanted my user e-mail and password.  I put in my user e-mail and clicked the "forgot password" and I was taken to a screen stating my e-mail was invalid.  What the hell?   There is virtually no direct support and I just have to wait for the bots to review my claim that I didn't change my password.

This means I can't access the Private Large Scale Battletech Builders, Battlemech Models, or messenger.  Unfortunately, messenger is what I use to communicate with clients for builds, commissions, or just other little things. 

In the meantime, if you need to get in touch with me please e-mail HERE.

I guess I'll have to hold off on the next mystery mech auction as well as a few other things.

Credit Where Credit is Due

The Marauder molds the caster made held out better than I thought and once I figured out the correct plates and tension, the casts I sent out were better than initially expected.  Granted, I have a lot of miscasts and these new blue rubber molds are not holding up as well as the old pink rubber molds these still turned out kits that everyone seems to be happy with.  So, I will concede that while there may have been a sh*t-ton of issues along the way the molds turned out really good kits.
