4 More

We only need 4 more pre-orders to go to production.  Can we do it???

Have you ever noticed....

It never rains, it pours.  Not only am I still down to part time work (yes, apps are going out) but the heating unit went out yesterday.  $1000 repair. My wife goes to the dentist (also yesterday) and comes home with a $700 bill. I still have medical bills from the cancer.  And last night, nasty storms came through and did this to our back yard....

I have no idea where the cover for the grill went.  It was even tied down. The 4" anchors worked...

Oh, check out the poll for this years releases.  Vote now.  Now, I said!

Victor Pre-Order Update

There are 10 Victors paid for in only 5 days.  Nice!  I appreciate your support.  5 More to go and I can get this shipped off to the new caster.  I have narrowed it down to 2.  Both are reputable and fairly big names in the Sci-Fi kit industry. Decisions, decisions.

Oh, and I have been playing with the head a bit more.  The flanges that form around the "chin" will be molded as separate pieces.

Victor Test Shots

The latest build/kit, the IS Victor Battlemech, is about 90% done.  This is a hybrid...mostly MW4 design using a paper model found at MW3.org and some TRO elements.  I am still tweaking the upper arms...when I first tacked it together, they were way too long.  There is a bit more filling, filing, and sanding to do but she is about done. The Victor will come in at 8.5" tall at roughly 1/60 scale.

There are 5 left for pre-order.  Don't miss out!

 I have not decided whether to go with the square thrusters for the jump jets (left) or the nozzle type (right).

Victor Pre-Order Update 1: Update

9 Victors have been purchased.  Only 6 more remaining.

Victor Pre-Order

Alright everyone, I am going to start taking pre-orders for the Victor.  I will have some "finalized" pics up this weekend...its just lacking arms.  The costs is going to run about the same as the Daishi...$125 plus shipping.  Shipping to the lower 48 will be a flat $15 and a flat $20 international.  Shipping to the lower 48 will be insured as always.  Unfortunately, the USPS won't insure overseas shipments.  The other option is UPS but that shipping would run upwards of $60-$80. Once I get 15 paid pre-orders the kit will be sent to the caster. It will take about a month after that to get the molds made and kits produced. I am estimating mid-March for this round of kits. As with the previous pre-orders, if I cannot get 15 pre-paid orders, then all those who did prepay will get their money refunded to them. This is why I use PayPal...I hate the fees, but it protects the buyers.

Currently, I plan to do just this ONE RUN of Victors.  If you don't pre-order, I cannot say when, or even if, I will do another run.

Update:  If you have pre-ordered in the past and do so again, I am working to include a little something special and unique in your package.  I can't say what here, but I think it is pretty cool!

So, while we are waiting on the Daishi to be re-cast, e-mail (timfusco@hotmail.com) me for an invoice to get the Victor pre-ordered.

Victor Commission

Here are some more pics of the latest commission I am working on.  There are also two others being done...Shadow Cat and Flea.
