They're looking good! Hard to tell from a photo but I don't see any flash at all.

Right now we're €914 short with almost two weeks to go. Should nail that easily.

I was really hoping we'd hit 23k and unlock the coach. But unless there are a bunch of buyers at the last minute, I suspect we'll end up slightly short.

Agreed. I had hoped to reach the coach too, although it is looking unlikely. Still, it looks like I will be getting 22 awesome minis for christmas, so I cannot complain 8)

Guaranteed if we could buy the add ons for over 20k now we'd hit the top unlock in a couple of days! Can understand the level idea and how it works totally though.

Hold your horses, people.
A lot of people don't like to have their money withdrawn months before their stuff arrives.
I'm absolutely sure there'll be plenty of last-minute-buyers.

There's still almost two week left; I think we will be good.

I've been on campaigns where almost half was made the first day and the other half the last day. So everything can still happen. If not we have add-ons.

I also need a couple of cheerleaders, so we need more funding to this 8)

No... These are literally straight out of the package, just slotted into a base. I think they have done an amazing job!

I have three that I've based ready for painting (couldn't resist) and they took about 2 minutes to clean up. As little flash or mould lines as I've ever seen on a miniature. Incredible quality. Very happy with my choice of caster.

Yeah... Some people are worrying but I've seen enough of these campaigns to be quietly confident. If the campaign needs a boost Im sure you all know I'll be able to give it one as well though ;)

I would say this campaign is still rocking. Even 2/3rds through the campaign funding goes from 17k to almost 20k in some 3 days. That IS quite amazing. As mentioned before, with Indiegogo there will be some last day funders.

Personally I do not have a problem hopping in th eboat early and sitting out the ride, but there will be some who save their pennies to the last moment, especially after missing the initial Early Frog deals.

Johnny, one piece of advise from this old croaker. Put that picture of the casts up there! These look so incredibly clean that it will boast confidence once more and might attract a few pledgers that are holding off because they are sceptical of the end quality of the product you offer, if such a thing does exist.

Is that so? Because J-Bone based them already... :o
I know nothing about casting! So, the greens go to the casting company. What happens then?

Don't worry... These are samples from the master mould (and I also have more than just the one team).

Essentially, I send the casting company the greens and they make a master mould which is then used to create the metal masters that are used to create the production moulds.
