Not overly surprised given the glacial pace it was moving at.  I do hope to see plastics from him at some point in the future though.  That, or bring more of his wonderful metals out.

Metal. Good decision! Too much plastic already on the market and Tre's miniatures deserve being made into metal.

A pity, but then he never showed anyone the finished models, so it's not surprising there weren't many backers.

I think he needs to sit and plan a bit better and get some good advice from people in the industry, because he seems a little undecided about where to go with his ranges. I love the models and the sculpting style, but the business decisions are often a bit off. Perhaps he needs to partner up and leave that to someone else.

I've had the same thought. Kev White seems to do very well with that model. He just sculpts and leaves the business end to his partners. Tre seems very disorganized. The last couple of Kickstarters included long periods where nothing was happening and he was not communicating. This time it bit him in the ass.

Well, he's relaunched the set, but this time they're all in metal and we can see some completed sculpts.

I'm in now. It's not cheap, but I do love his stuff and I'm afraid I tend to buy much more than I get round to painting!

I think it's a far better way to do it, and he'll easily hit his KS target with them in metal. They're just not modular enough to work in plastic, IMO.

Tempted to go in for a set myself now!
