Maelee Set Complete!

We have completed packaging and labeling all of the backer rewards for the Maelee Special Edition Set. We received the stock of castings on Thursday evening and spent the majority of the weekend assembling sets, packing boxes and running labels.

Domestic backers should be receiving their rewards this week. International backers should allow 3 to 4 weeks for their packages to arrive.

We still have three backers that have not returned their surveys. As soon as we receive their selections we will ship out their rewards.

As a reminder, the two backers who pledged at the level for the painted sets, we will be sending the surveys out as we get closer to shipping those rewards. The estimated delivery on them is posted as November to give our painters time to complete the work.

Ten backers will be picking up their rewards in person at GenCon and we look forward to meeting them.

We want to thank all of you for making the production of our Maelee Special Edition Set possible and for assuring that we get to take her to GenCon to promote Bombshell Miniatures.

Maelee Set Production Update 2

We have had a totally awesome week! I have been amazed at how everything on our three major projects, the Maelee Set, the GenCon show, and Counterblast™ development have rolled along like clockwork!

SURVEYS

We are still waiting for these backers to return their surveys:

D.J. Cole
The Keep
GIC
Cerity "Bottlejak" Silverhawk

For the two backers that pledged at the level for the painted sets, we will be sending the surveys out as we get closer to shipping those rewards. The estimated delivery on them is posted as November to give our painters time to complete the work.

All of the other suveys have been returned and are processed into our fulfillment spreadsheet. We have allocated the numbered Maelee sets according to your backer number. Those who were the earliest in backing the project will get the lowest numbers in the print run.

PROGRESS

We received the castings from Valiant for the Maelee sets and our stock for GenCon yesterday. The UPS delivery was about 7 pm. By 10:30 pm Vicky, Brett and I had everything unboxed, polybagged with bases and wrapped ready to pack in the numbered set boxes.  Earlier in the week Brett had already finished labeling the boxes and had stamped the numbers on them along with the signed certificates.

Today we will be packing the set boxes and prepping the order boxes to ship out as soon as the labels are printed. We are projecting that if everything goes like it has been, we will be able to have everything shipped out by Tuesday.

Counterblast™ Designs

Over on the Airlock Games page we have posted some new art from designer Jeff Paulsrud for the Counterblast™ Adventure Battle Game.  You can check out preliminary designs for two of the major factions The Galactic Defense Force and the Edo.

Sculpting Linna Part 3

In this section I shoe how I add details to Linna's boots after the basic legs have been formed.

Sculpting Linna - Boots

Next I will move on to cover sculpting the drapery.

COUNTERBLAST™ Designs

Here is the first look at some of the designs for the Galactic Defense Force and the sinister Edo. They will form the basis for two of the major factions in the upcoming COUNTERBLAST Adventure Battle Game.

These stalwart space troopers are guardians of the frontier who are equipped to handle operations in any environment.

Hailing from the furthest depths of the frontier, the Edo can strike suddenly and without warning. They have massively developed psychotechnical abilities that can melt brains, erupt in violent waves of heat or rip open the physical realm into the unknown void.

These initial designs are created by one of our skilled designers Jeff Paulsrud who we are thrilled to have onboard contributing to the project. Be sure to check out more if his work from the link.
