Title: Kickstarter- Weird Science. H P Lovecraft, Einstein & friends.
Post by: PhilH on May 25, 2019, 03:36:59 PM
This is my new H P Lovecraft miniature, he has a puppy Star Spawn at his side. My first version is looking a bit dated. So I’m replacing him with this one.
To cover the casting costs I’m going to launch him and my Einstein Miniature via Kickstarter. I’ll look at launching Monday, for a week long campaign.

Quite so, any chance of one with the star spawn - I'd probably get both - I know he didn't like dogs but a cat on a lead... ot just a stick/cane?

Thank you all.
I think a cane would make a good alternative sculpt.
The star spawn was added over the finished leg and shoes, so it’d be simple to rework.
I can add it as a stretch goal.

Great, it would make a more "playable" mini...

Is the KS in the USA?

I’ve submitted the project, just waiting for approval and then I’ll hit the launch button. These two are up for offer. Lovecraft and Einstein.

Einstein is cool too. I already have him by Pulp figures, but you can't have too many scientific geniuses around, can you? Any news about the KS?

You could have a weird time travelling adventure with two Einstein’s :D
I’ve Submitted the project, but still waiting for their approval. Hopefully today. As soon as it’s live I’ll post here.

Both figures are very well done and would gladly add this version of Lovecraft to my collection but at this point only ad a curiosity, as noted, the Starspawn, while cute, would be better suited with a book or a cane or even a gun to render it a little more realistically playable. Will probably get it either way but just an observation. we

Thank you. I will be adding a Lovecraft with a cane version as a stretch goal. Hopefully I’ll have the master sculpt back from the caster in a couple of days. So I can get to work on the conversion.
Still waiting on the Kickstarter review.....any second now.

First pics of the master casts. There heading to me tomorrow with the original sculpts, so I can start converting Lovecraft.
I’ve also got the project approved, so I’ll launch tomorrow evening :)

Thank you. I’m sure that’ll be doable. We’re only a few hours in and already half way to being funded. I was thinking that the cane should be very Eldritch. Twisted with some carved creatures, maybe a hint of tentacle.

Any chance of add on from your website, or does that mean KS take a big chunk of your money?

You can add to your pledge from my store. When the campaign finishes, I get a list of the backers roughly two weeks later.
 I then send each backer a discount voucher equal to their pledge amount, which they then use in my store, you can add to your pledge when you checkout.

Post by: PhilH on May 31, 2019, 11:15:15 PM
The first Star Spawn Puppy. It’s going to be joined by three more, which I’m hoping to have made tomorrow. They’re an unlocked stretch goal and a lot of fun to make.

Alternative Lovecraft sculpt. With the cane replacing the Star Spawn puppy. An unlocked stretch goal. The original sculpt has already been through the casting process and is a a bit dinged. It doesn’t effect the sculpt , but it is darker, so I used a monochrome filter to show the detail better.

Not at all. Your pledge is in effect a discount voucher for my store and it doesn’t expire. I guess if you left it too long then the cost per mini could increase, but there’s no plans for that to happen anytime soon.
I might also run out of stock, but that’s only a delay of a week or two.
So your pledge is ready to checkout when your ready :)
