Just wanted to post a quick update! 5 molds left to be created and cast, there are mimics EVERYWHERE around our studio and up at old rogues studio as well :)
The Pledge Manager will be closing on the 31st and we will start shipping immediately after that! Seems like time is just flying by on this one :) If you have not yet made your selections take a few minutes and fill out the backer kit!
As soon as I have those 5 molds finished and Kevin Klenotic is finishing up the casting and Adam is finishing up the never ending painting i'll be getting our next project fully underway! We have a few prototypes done of where we are going with this one its going to be very cool and involved even managed to get adam to tear away from mimics to put some initial paint on the prototypes this morning!
We will share more sneak peeks into that after we start shipping in a few weeks!
P.S. my wife Meadow is sooooo happy our wonderful backers recommended backer kit to us, she had the nightmare of shipping and pledge logistics on our last campaign by hand!
Till the next Update!

Based on popular request we have added the non mimic sets to backer kit. These kits contain 2 copies of the items without the mimic and cover the treasure chest, treasure sack, sleeping bag, grave plot, and books.
We also are going to be closing the backerkit from modifications on May 31st to support shipping of early birds beginning on June 1st.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that about 90% of the foundations 3 addon's have had their hand painted pictures added to the pledge manager!
I missed two of the items (coffins, and Dungeon Archway) I need to shoot those and will get them uploaded probably tomorrow.
Casting and Mold Making update!

Hi everyone!
Happy Friday just wanted to share the quick glimpse into the casting and mold making going on here at Forge Prints. Now as I said before we actually started mold making and production casting on the day we launched the campaign so we did have a bit of a head start :) but here are some fun stats of where we are currently and where we have to go.
I am seeing Adam at old rogue tomorrow and will get some painting numbers from him to share with everyone as well as the foundations 3 pieces painted!! That means look for either tomorrow or sunday the pledge manager to be updated with final painted photos of the foundations 3 addons YAY!
As for final numbers needed I won't know that until we close out the pledge manager but you can do rough math from # of backers etc! We are on target to be able to start shipping out early bird backers in the next 4 weeks!
I have to talk to Backer Kit to see if we need to lock down the pledge manager before we can process orders or not? If we do then to keep to our shipping estimates we will leave the pledge manager open to the last possible second so the last day of may but we plan on starting shipments June 1st! If we can leave it open longer then we will and just start to ship out who is done.
This is our first time working with backer kit so sorry for the noob information here, but we will know for next time!
Here is the chart, some of the resin on order will be used for our regular SKU's I don't think we are going to need all of it for whats remaining but well see!

Production Mold is the mold name needed for this campaign
Complete if there is an X then the mold has been made and is being cast
QTY cast is well how many of each model has been cast and binned or maybe even bagged.
Pledge Manager Live!

Just a quick note that the pledge manager is now live and you should be getting your emails shortly!
This is our first time working with BackerKit so if anything is not working right or odd drop me a line and i'll look into it :) Also not all of the painted pictures of the foundations 3 addon's are posted yet. As soon as I get the models back i'll update the manager with the photos.
It appears that you have to set a window of how long the pledge manager will be live for, I am not sure if you can confirm and close out your pledge before the window expires? I have not set an end date yet while I learn more about it.
Thanks again,
Kevin
