These are fantastic, "The women of Wal-mart" 

My cravings for these grows even more having seen them in colour.  Thanks for the update, and perfect that mold technique!

Waiting, waiting, waiting.     

Thanks for the comments   

Forgive our impatience ,you know its torture.Good things come to those who wait.........

I know, I want also to have it already done     I realize now that I was too enthusiastic and optimistic with the whole thing in terms of time

I´ll tell you as soon as I have something worthy to report  

[A_Train]

Anything to report, Clearco?

[Clearco]

Not so much, i´m afraid, but the last of the five original survivors is done  . Then I made new molds of three of the survivors and I beginned the other two, but I haven´t yet used them (I only tried a test mold I made, with good results ). Now I´m away untill march, so´ll try them by then. I´ll tell you how it turns out  
Thanks a lot for your interest!

Just catching up on this brilliant thread. The painted figures were great, genuinely great. They are better than the majority of other modern civilians I've seen and they look as stylish (I deliberetely didn't say sleek!) as Hasslfree, which is a big compliment as I always thought I was too tight to pay £4 for a 28mm figure! Good luck with the new molds.

[Clearco]

Thanks a lot, you are really kind

So, can I buy these yet?

 

[Clearco]

Not yet I´m afraid
I´m really sorry it´s taking soooo long! 
I´m very busy at the uni by now so I have almost no time to make any advances And when I have a bit of time I´m so tired that I can´t work on it...It´s very disapointing because I though I would be much faster (I had planned to have these ready to sell in january-february...Ouch!)

The only good thing is that the vacum-thing I´m making to make better castings is almost done 
Thanks for asking anyway! 

[A_Train]

Thanks for the update, as we're always interested to hear where you got.   I'm sorry its taking you so long, but don't worry about it, we are all still very interested in the project, and hope that you can eventually produce and sell them.

[Clearco]

Thanks!
I hope I can spend some time with it this weekend 

[A_Train]

I will politely ask for an update, just to let you know there is still interest.
Please don't take it as pushing/badgering/hounding.

Just very interest in what you have accomplished.

Hi!
I´m afraid there´s nothing juicy to report: I made the last molds of the bodies and managed to break a hand while still in the mold, so I have to sculpt a new one (and another one of another mini that also got broken on the mold  ) and make a mold of it...More work! The more I make, the more I have to make 
I have to finish the weapons aswell and then make the molds of them.
The main problem is that I´m not so motivated by now: all originals broke when I casted them (And I made several molds) so I´m a bit upset and have developed a sort of panic when I think about handle the minis again  I have repaired each mini like three or more times...And all of them need new repairs because of the last mold...It´s exasperating     
[The good think: I have learned that for the next minis I have to make an unbreakable and ultra-solid skeleton WITH the arms and not simply of the trunk and legs ]

Moreover I have to redo and repair things I already had done for months (like the hands) so it´s not the most appealing work in the world...And then I think, they´ll broke again 

So by now I´m painting and waiting for inspiration and new energy to work on it again I think it´s better when I work full of motivation 

But I´m really thankfull you have still interest  That´s very nice and make me want to come further with the project (but maybe next month  )

I´ll tell you as soon as I manage to break my mental block and work again on it

[A_Train]

It was a really cool project with a lot of interest in the final product, so that's what keeps us checking.
I understand that it the fine details can prove difficult, I wouldn't know how to go about creating molds.  I hope that eventually it all comes together for your, and when it does, I'm sure we'll all still be here to purchase some of those ladies, if you still have interest in selling them.

Thanks for the update.

What A-train said...

Good luck; we'll be watching you from the shadows...

Why not put this up on Kickstarter as a project to raise bucks to get them cast?
