More Zero Dark Mini Concepts
Added 2020-09-27 11:12:38 +0000 UTCFollowing yesterday's sneak preview, here are the other two.
I should emphasize that the poses best no resemblance to how the minis will be posed - these are purely to give the sculptor enough information about their appearance to create the models. He has an entirely separate (and lengthy) brief for posing etc.
The outline schedule for these is:
1. Sculptor gives me a quote for the work and (assuming I'm happy with it) we agree a timetable and payment plan.
2. Draft timetable is to have all the sculpts finished and prototyping some by the end of December +/-1 month.
3. By that point I will have scheduled resin master casting, hopefully with my first-choice caster, and metal production casting (ditto).
4. The crowd funding campaign will begin at the point that the resin master casts are finished. Pre-campaign marketing will begin once I'm satisfied that the 3d sculpts are adequate.
The target is full production casting by the start of March and fulfillment of pre-orders by the end of April, with retail stock available at the start of May.
With a bit of luck, this will coincide with an end to social restrictions and I'll be able to take stock on the road with me for my UK national tour.
