Small crotch related update..
🕑 Added 2018-12-18 22:37:41 +0000 UTC Level3Just before I was about to upload the cod, I thought hang on.. what happens when you need to take a leak.. (which as I keep approaching 45 seems to be more frequent lol..)
solution... Magnetic crotch!
Have made all adjustments just re-uploading now. Arms after that, Torso I feel needs another hour to be more print worthy (a few thin sections where the detailing cut into the inside needs to be fattened) but looking good for the rest of it. Helmet will be last as I said, working from the feet upward on this one. The helmet is done I just need to still put in the opening mechanism which is also done they just are not married yet but i figure if the rest of the suit is uploaded it should give me a day to finalize this helmet.
Level 2, Some mass effect helmets and of course promised swords coming your way for something different, once ive uploaded the large Ironman stuff they are next to upload.
Level 1
Herochess will continue of course. Instead of bringing out more figures and having a mismatched scale of them all I just decided to hold off on the figures and get all the pieces and boards uploaded, without figures on top. That way I can focus on fitting them for a specific piece. What I was finding was because of the varying shapes of them all, getting them to look the same scale on the pieces is where I was failing and need to address that before Iaunch into a massive project with all those characters.
Changes to Tiers:
Only one major change to announce at the moment, and that is as of January 1st there will be no more Level 1 access available to new subscribers I repeat, everyone here right now is not affected.
Since all patrons get access to level 1, there is no point having it as a separate Tier and since we also now only have a very small handful of people on Level 1 access (it equates to some $12 a month...) it is becoming increasingly difficult to justify amounts of time devoted to tiers when the numbers are so focused on Level 2 and 3.
There will still be All-Patron model releases however. Instead of there being a "Level 1 access" things will simply be released as "all patrons".
I am not asking anyone to forcibly move up to Level 2..
If you feel you want to unsubscribe from Level 1, please by all means do so (which happened not long after I posted this...) as I said nothing will change I am just removing the $1 and $3 tier for new subscribers... I will always release all patron models.
I am just prohibiting anyone new signing up on that Tier and it will be phased out completely. It's clear from the numbers and graphs people are more interested in cosplay and larger items and more complex prints. In fact to let you know, there is only about 3 people on the $3 tier and anyone else was from the older $1 tier - that's how low the numbers are there. So that is why the Level is being phased out.
Being honest, I am not making Herochess or any of the Level 1 models specifically for Level 1, I never have - since all Patrons have always had access to Level 1, I always considered content for that level to be for everyone anyway - so the removal of the Tier will mean virtually nothing to anyone really except me, but I feel the need to overexplain it sorry.
Most models that are not specifically cosplay or very large complicated prints, like Hero chess etc will still be uploaded for all Patrons so those who remain on Level 1, you will still receive models you were promised, essentially nothing will change for you other than there will be no new patrons joining that Tier.
Herochess is a very long ongoing project. It was designed to basically give me some time away from the monotony that cosplay can sometimes bring and get some character models done, so it is not going anywhere.
We also have Droid month coming up and Spaceship month where we will cover a number of ships and droids from various franchises, of course suggestions are welcome.
Anyway, ill get back to it - I am on here 24/7 now pretty much until Xmas.
Had some family things happening that a few ppl know about, been a rough week but all is looking alot better than it was on monday. Now, all I need is no storms, constant power and we can finish this month off with a bang!
Thanks to everyone for your support this year! We currently are at the highest number of patrons we have had thus far and I know most of that is thanks to you guys telling people about it, so without you in so many ways we wouldn't be here. Still trying to work out which one of the handful of ideas I have for the goal bonus, but let's just say it will be one for the books!
Thanks again,
G.
