The reservation was just a way to keep it organized as best as possible and to make it fair the best way I can with the huge amount of interest.
Unfortunately this winter has been extremely harsh and I wasn't able to paint these properly due to it.
I was going to update this tomorrow as I plan on repainting tomorrow. Weather is going to be relatively warm tomorrow but it might snow again this Tuesday so I'm going to take the opportunity tomorrow to do as much as I can.
I already have about 20 faceplates at the gold paint stage before the Winter hit so I should be able to get most, if not all, of Batch 2 shipped out this week or next week depending on the weather. I do apologize about the delay. It's not something I wanted or had control over. I've been waiting for the weather to get warmer as I rather have these faceplates come out with the best quality possible instead of churning these out looking like **** with a terrible paint job. It requires layers and layers of coat of paint just for 1 faceplate so I do need the proper environment to work in. Unfortunately for me, I don't have a workshop to do this in.
I understand the frustration waiting can be but there are some things that are out of my hand such as the weather. I'm doing my best to deliver these in the quality I would want them delivered to me if I was a customer. Trust me when I say I too wish custom work could be done in just a mere day but the reality is quite the opposite.
I will be working on these tomorrow morning all the way through into the afternoon and will grind these out the best I can. I will aim into getting everyone in Batch 2 shipped out by next week the latest and will work towards getting Batch 3 done right after.
I appreciate everyone's patience. With the weather hopefully getting warmer my attention will be in getting these completed and into your hands as fast as humanly possible.
