Some big news tonight, we've heard confirmation on the ground that the pewter and plastic will be preparing for shipment sometime next week. So in a matter of weeks we will be able to start packing products for you. The pewter went a heck of a lot faster then anticipated.
We will keep you guys informed of the situation as it progresses, freight and shipping still takes some time to wind down from customs and clearance.
As a big note, IF you need to change and or update addresses, please do so via here, backerkit, or [email protected].
Thank you, and have a great weekend!

China Resuming Normal Functions on Monday

It appears China is giving the go ahead to have 160 million workers return to work after the viral outbreak.
The biggest impact of the virus had been in the road blocks between major cities, and major airlines, basically grinding down the logistics chain from the top down. China is allowing people to return from their holidays, and factory functions will begin again once they are settled in.
The suppliers were cool to keep us in the loop.
Thank you all for your patience,

Hello everyone, as we wait, I wanted to take a moment and show you guys what we've been doing between production runs. Tim and I have been going back and forth in regards to getting a 28mm ant model, and so far we have come to this. Versions with fantasy weapons and one in the sci fi direction. Toward the end there is also a cool little piece done for fun.
Corona Virus Update

Hello everyone, I had to get some more information before I could forward it on:
Due to the impact of the corona virus offices in china were highly recommended to keep workers home. For us the biggest impact was in Guangdong (pewter half of the kickstarter) which is coming back into work around the 10th. Many offices were resuming around the 3rd else where.
From a logistics end, boats and planes are waiting for China's go ahead (as they are clearing workers at the docks and plane end).
Accordingly, the virus basically resembles a flu, meaning that it will not have expectancy to reach countries through products. The virus basically needs a human host and would likely die en route without one.
We will update you as we hear more. But for the time being it's mostly a logistics headache then a biological scare.
Thank you,
Robert
