Aliens Remote Sentry Guns Headcount...

[DBoz]

Nice! Now that we have an estimate, I think I'll up my order to 2 units.

And as Les said, thanks for doing this Paul. These guns are gonna rock!

 

[DarkArtist81]

Wow... that is astonishing! I've never put together resin kits of any kind, but after I get mine put together and learn how it's done... I would be available. Just wouldn't want to mess anyone else's up, best to use my own as the guinea pig...so to speak.

 

[JediMike71]

It all sounds good to me...so far. I trust Chris after buying many nice pieces from him for my custom marines. He does great work on the tiny stuff like knives, belt tools, etc. I can only imagine how nice his castings of Angie's great work will be on the sentry guns! I can't wait to get them and put them together for my display. I'm still in it for all four guns....A, B, C, and D.

69 kits, 1 Member unaccounted for (assuming one per) comes to 70 potential kit orders out of a Maximum ES of 100 kits. Each SSF Member ordering a kit must agree that this special one time SSF offer price (tbd) will be for the personal use and Collection of the Buyer and for no other purpose.

I've worked with a lot of resin kits before. I think most will find this much less daunting than they might believe looking at the parts list. Most of us built models as a kid. Not a whole lot different.

 

[Stendec]

Awesome update P!!

The estimate cost of these kits sounds excellent and I am so glad we have Chris on board to do the castings.

 

[Darth_Thorpe]

awsome stuff i thought it was going to be more, even better ill stick with 2

thanks for making this come true

 

[abake]

Brilliant news!

Thanks to all who have put so much time and effort to pull this off!
Pjam, you da man!

 

[Mudshark]

Great news indeed! I really expected these puppies were gonna set us back some serious coin, but for that price I'm holding out for the full set A-D, unless something entirely unforseen happens. This is gonna be freakin' legendary in the world of garage kit masterpieces!

 

[ONEYE]

Just to confirm, these will be working guns.

 

[pjam]

Thanks again all, stay tuned for updates...

[Mooncat]

Hi yep Id like to purchase 1 of these sentry guns as funds are tight atm (not that their slack at any other time)

but I can afford 1

Ill be subscribing to thread so let me know how this thing is going to progress !

Thanks

 

[pjam]

Just a note if you are just checking in... Angie won't begin working on this project until the first weeks in October. Depending on what Chris says as far as economy with higher volume of kits cast, the ES may be set sooner than later. As far as payment, you'll need to make a 33% (Approx $20) Non refundable downpayment per unit to secure your kit(s) as we near Angie's start time.

 

[JediMike71]

I hope pjam, that I can pay that down payment using a money order? I cannot use Paypal anymore, and I'm restricted now (by my wife) to pay for eBay wins and anything else like that through the mail using a money order. I guess as we get closer, there will be an address for you, or Angie where I could mail the money order to? I'd have make my final payment that way too for the four guns I want to get. Let me know. Thanks!

Project Update:

Hi all,

Unfortunately, I have to bail from this project.

Wishing you great success with it just the same.

VBR,
Chris

Bummer. Yeah, I don't get it either but I am sure he has very good reasons. Kit Estimates thrown out the window. Back to square one, or two. Just as I spent over 20 hours getting this together.

Anyone who knows a good reliable caster, please PM me.
Thanks
P

 

[customizerwannabe]

Man, that sucks.

 

[pjam]

As I said I'm sure he had very good resaons. He did advise ME that we keep this project as discreet as possible but I don't know if that would make any difference at this point because nothing has been done, no contracts signed, no money changed hands, no kits produced or even designed.


In any event details of this project as it relates to any individuals involved will be kept strictly confidential from this point on.

 

[customizerwannabe]

That's cool, but I would want to know who the caster is before I shelled out a dime. There are a few I wouldn't do biz with and wouldn't support them if they were involved in this project.

 

[nash]

what the hell happend? he's bailing because you posted ballpark figures that he wasnt happy with?
​

 

[pjam]

No nash, not at all. There were no reasons given and I am not assuming anything so you all know what I know which is what I posted. He's out, that's all... and it is probably better for all of us to keep our cards closer to the vest.

There have been a number of garage kit projects done over at OSW and other sites without a hitch, I don't see why this one is any different so, like I said, I don't get it.

So... we lost one quote from a good caster, we have three months to come up with another. As far as future casters they must be approved by AP. When one is selected anyone can PM me for details when announced.
