No problemo, life happens

Sadly, I won't be able to take 1 of the remaining spots on the list as I got some bad news today so I have to tighten the financial belt, even have to cancel some PO's I was really looking forward to

Regardless, I can't wait to see the finished product! Those who get this will be ecstatic and have another awesome piece to display with their IM line

Sorry to hear about the financial issues.
Do what you need to stay afloat.

Hi BISHART. Sorry I still haven't followed through and bought a Predators diorama from you. I've been constantly thinking of Terminator-related ideas that I've prioritised. Though I'd still love to have your Predators diorama too I just can't have everything. However Terminator dioramas would be a different story. So, if you're still intending to do that Enrique's camp concealed weapons cache thing at some point, I'm there. Now, you're obviously busy fulfilling requests for this Iron Man diorama so I understand, if you go ahead with the Terminator dio, it'll be in your own time. Good luck with this one, its a fantastic idea and execution.

 

[Centurion]

In other words, he is saying keep the Monaco dio as your top priority.

 

[BISHART]

haha. thanks a-dev. i understand. im not sure what ill be doing after these guys. but ill keep you posted!

as far as monaco goes. dont worry! its coming along. im testing out different casting materials. wanting to get the best, lightest piece.

thanks!

Just make sure to PM me when you are ready to take balance to ship these. been having some trouble keeping up with this forum

 

[Centurion]

If you have some extra time, Ben, some update pics would be much appreciated.
It's good marketing too for potential fans that are still on the fence.

of course of course.

its a ton of work for one guy is what it comes down to, haha.

def. a slight underestimation on my part of just how much work this thing will take.
so thanks everyone for your patience. i wont let you down though. ill get them done before the mark V hits. thats my goal anyway.

ill get some pics soon.

were trying out some new casting method on the castle, and testing it on the monaco mold first, im pretty sure its going to eb the way to go, and once we figure that out im going to be busting these things out, in an assembly line pretty much. so bear with me!

 

[BISHART]

here you go guys!

got this bad boy cast in a material im pretty satisfied with.

this is boat resin, strong stuff. and rather than using fiberglass i used paper pulp mixed into the resin, this was useful in filling the tire portion of the mold and building up the shallow walls along the edge, with fiberglass this could take many many coats, and still be too thin.

quickly sprayed black.

 

[Centurion]

Wow!
I'm excited all over again.

Is that still the same width, Ben?
Looks a little narrower for some reason.

Can't wait and have a happy 4th buddy!

thanks man. yeah its the exact same dimensions. cast came out great.

going to try one in plaster as well. and then whichever one weighs less wins.

Funny you should say.
I never had any inkling to purchase the Whiplash figure, that is, until I saw this.
