Mould Room & More

Hey all!

Mould room part 1 - RUN

Here we have a load of moulds which have been filled with resin. The team are just waiting for them to set and then they will start cracking out the models before running them all again!

This process is repeated several times a day down both sides of the room giving us thousands of figures daily. Part 2 next time!

I found a render I haven't shown off yet. A Bright Rider :D

As promised every week I will leave you another sneek peak into the next campaign :)

Back next Friday!

Update number 101
almost 4 years ago – Fri, May 29, 2020 at 11:21:46 PM

Hey all

Last week was update 100 and I didn't realise until after posting so lets celebrate 101 instead, Wahoo! The mould room update will have to wait until next week. I had planned to take photos in their yesterday but we had a big issue with our resin delivery system (gun that mixed and squirts resin) which needed repair. With people having to come in and repair the machine social distancing requirements kept me out! Its back up and pumping now though so I will be in there next week :D

Still got in to see Tom and the printers though

I also caught Matt preparing more masters from the box of resin we saw last week

I also spotted the camel riders while I was in there

So lets take a look at delivery instead. I am hoping that we will being posting some smaller pledges really soon. It will be nice to see what people think getting some miniatures in hand and hopefully we will all get to see everyones paint jobs (this was my favourite part of delivering the halfling campaign).

Want to see a render you haven't yet? OK

We have our next kickstarter planned in for launch mid August (since being pushed back due to Covid). This will only go ahead if this campaign is shipped so rest assured we are pushing super hard to have this all out the door in the next 10 weeks!

Loren Becker had a great idea in the comments of asking what people are expecting in the next campaign? I know exactly what is coming and can't wait to share loads more info on it, there is a LOT. Lets do a sneak peek each week. I did one previously which showed off a purple flaming monster. Lets show off another colour involved today :D

Back next week with some mould room action :)

Production Part 1
almost 4 years ago – Sat, May 23, 2020 at 06:46:54 AM

Hi all

People were asking for something a little different in the next series of updates now that we have everything rendered.

First off here are some more 3D prints I saw on Tom's desk before they got picked up by our mould men who are busily preparing them as production masters at home.

Every week the guys drop back the cleaned prints and they get turned into a master mould which will contain a range of miniatures.

Once this mould is made they get run until we have enough models to be cleaned up and turned into a production mould where all the models will be the same.

Back next week when we will take a look in the mould room at the next steps of the process!

Stay safe all!

Stay safe all!

Mounted Hexes

Hey all

We are still slowly working through this partial return to work. Social distancing makes a lot of jobs far more awkward but we are pushing on!

I promised you renders of mounted elves. Here we go! Just two for now, I'm saving the others for next week incase nothing else comes up for me to show off.

Hope you are all staying safe and healthy!
