September Update: International Shipping

 Good Morning all.  Patreon supporters should be receiving their latest perks in the next few days.  Yay!

Now for the Boo...INTERNATIONAL ORDERS are being temporarily suspended.  Some countries are refusing international packages, others are so slow it is taking 6-8 weeks to get a First Class Packages delivered.  Rates are outrageous as well.  An order to Germany weighing in at 1 pound 10 ounces cost almost $80 to ship...for a $130 mech.  Also, even though I stress it before shipping the package there is nothing I can do once the packages leaves my hands.  All I can do is track it...just like the customer.  There is no one I can call to see what is going on with the package especially once the package reaches the destination country.

Covid has killed international shipping...

To end with a Yay...the first round of Quickdraw kits are going out this week.  

More Later...

Quickdraw Pre-order Closed

Pre-Order for the Quickdraw is now CLOSED.  If we hit 10 paid pre-orders the price will be $130 plus shipping.  

Also, the caster who I was working with on this has backed out of the project so it might take a little longer than normal.  That being the case,  ALL paid pre-orders will receive the 8*10 plaque...not just Patreon members. 

We only had 12 pre-orders so the price will stay at $130.

Quick Update

Hi everyone...just a quick update.  My hiatus has been spent finishing out commissions.  It seems the breaks I take for me to work on personal projects is usually spent digging myself out from under the workload. 

Coming soon will be updates on new commission rates, some changes to the business models and general plans for moving forward.  With 3D printing booming I just can't compete in certain areas and it affects what people are willing to spend on a model.  Comparing what I make to a 3d print is like comparing apples to oranges but a lot of customers don't see it that way.   To them, a mech is a mech. 

More soon...

Hiatus

Due to several circumstances coming together to create the perfect storm, Battlemech Models will not be able to take any new orders until at least the end of July.  

Thanks for your patience.

Marketplace Update

 Hi All...I updated the Marketplace and have reduced the price on several mechs.  Check it out...maybe one of the kits you had your eye on has dropped in price.

This page hasn't been updated much as I tend to post more on Facebook at the Battlemech Models page and on the page for customers only.  If you have purchased a mech feel free to join the customer's private page.  Look for Large Scale Battletech Builders and fill out the member request form.  There you will get more updates than I post here and you will get early access to new mechs or re-releases. 

If you subscribe to my Patreon, you will get even earlier access to new kits and special offers on new mechs...like 20% off one of my re-releases.
