Title: I NEED THESE SO BAD... "Colony 87"
Post by: Stepman3 on May 24, 2017, 11:41:38 PM
The "Colony 87" figures...I need them to add to my collection. These would be perfect for a few scenarios I have in mind. Can anyone point me in the direction for these... I do believe the Kickstarter has ended a while back...Thank you for any help or guidance...

I got my set in January of this year.
They are fantastic miniatures.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Johnno!

As Hobby Service said, I produced the range and ran the Kickstarter. Drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do to help you out!

Wave 3...there is a third set currently in progress. Concepts have been done and three sculpts have been completed. I'm anticipating an October/November Kickstarter.

As a teaser, here's a link to some of the concepts:

Will Beck does excellent work with his concepts. They're wonderful miniatures designs and it's a pleasure to work with him.

Hmmm... October's coming :-).

Are things going smoothly for the upcoming KS?

The sculpts are coming along, but we've had to push things back a little as Michael has had some other work overrun. Two sculpts are completed so far...we might be pushing back to the New Year.

Aaaargh! Why?  lol

No seriously, it might be a good idea. This year there have been and are going to be so many extremely good kickstarters, that it's probably wise to postpone it if it's not finished.

Two figures have been sculpted to date - a courier and a pilot. Michael is working on the remaining 4 and I'm hopeful that the KS will be ready to go towards the end of February. I realise this is later than planned, but unfortunately Michael had a complicated big plastics job overrun last year.

We're still working hard on It, don't worry :)
Title: Re: I NEED THESE SO BAD... "Colony 87"
Post by: RAD on January 14, 2018, 03:28:51 PM
Thanks for the update. I still have to paint the previous KS ones anyway. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

I cannot wait for Wave three. Great figures.

I missed the first Kickstarters - really hoping to pick up both the previous sets and the new one.

I will certainly be joining this kickstarter  for new Colony 87 figures whenever it gets here.

I have sworn off Kickstarter but I will make a happy exception in this case.

There is no risk, he has delivered twice; not only that but I bought mine long after the Kickstarters had finished via this forum, the bloke is a star

I should have mentioned I backed the other sets on KS, without a doubt two of the more outstanding projects I have received. I didn't want to throw salt into Stepman's wound by stating I have the miniatures he's been after. :)

Agreed on "the bloke is a star" comment as well, we've had interactions outside Kickstarter ;)

Any update on the progress of wave three? Or perhaps some teaser photos or concept work at least?

And, was access to the first KS product in the second KS?

Teasers? OK, here we go:

Concepts are by Will Beck. The ladies are currently about 80% sculpted, the kids and the pilot are sculpted, and the druggie is still to come :)

@Doug - yes, both wave 1 and wave 2 could be purchased through the second KS. This will be different for wave 3 - logistics will mean that I won't be able to offer them this time round.

Very cool, looking forward to the next wave. Of course I would still be interested in picking up more of wave one and two.  :D

Bit disappointing, but the temptation is STILL strong in this one.

Yes, I have enough to pick up the earlier sets now, so I'm waiting to see if the KS launches or not to decide how to lay down my purchase.

Hi Axiom
Are you any closer to the next Kickstarter?

Thanks
