A lot of times it depends on the sculpt and whether or not I request any changes. The samples are on their way to him right now so he will be starting the final sculpts this week. As soon as I have photos to show I will put them up.

I think he meant pics of the greens of what we have only sketches so far, like the unlocked Star Players.

That's what I'm referring to... The sculpting for those will start this week. As soon as I have photos of the sculpts I will post them up.

I'd been waiting to see the casts before signing up for a full team as have been inspired to get on board crowdfunding by amazing greens and been burned by poor ultimate casts too many times. Very impressed and will go for it in course of the week. Unusual thought but I've recently got into beautiful fantasy art, e.g the Paul Bonner art book called Out of the forests. I thought that pedro Ramos' sketches are pretty amazing and I would actually be up for buying them in some affordable way such as on coasters or some a4 booklet Boeing them up with some thoughts by him and bone what they were trying to achieve. Many of us play BB in pubs and I don't know how viable it is but would it be possible to do the six or eight best froggie sketches with a Jbone logo on coasters - then we could take them to pubs and put our beers on them. You'd be remembered for many years with great fondness for your project Jbone. Well done for taking this forward by the way.

The coasters could even advertise your podcast...

And / or be used as a dice mat for slamming dice cups onto? I use motorhead coasters for this. Yes, really.

A dice set would be cool with a frog skull on the block dice, garish colours would be nice as well.

I wish we will reach the 20000 soon
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.
i have the exact same worry :(

that's really the problem of not alterning free-fig and add-ons :(
the 2 small add-ons bring alreadt 400€ in just a week
how much would have have bring a very well designed coach ? (/apo /wizzard)

actually, i will miss the figs of the apo and of the wizzard even more :(
it's very usfull to have such fig (on tabletop), in order not to forget you could play them (not all team have an apo, and in tourney most of don't...)
€19,644 EUR raised by 306 backers
tomorrow evening we might unlocked the 8th linemen :)

Don't forget that there were no addons planned when this campaign started.
Coach, apo and wizard were added later, only free SGs were planned.

We've done very well with this campaign so far and it's more than a week left, so don't worry.

J-Bone, all being well, I'll be backing the team tomorrow. I don't know if it has been asked, but will you be sending out a Pledge Manager so backers can add things after the campaign?

Cheers.
