Well said.

I'm not sure what gross effect - if any - 3D printing will have on the miniature industry as a whole. Using the printers for rapid prototyping, etc., is a feasible investment if the reduction in man hours offers a cost savings during pre-production. The printers won't impact actual production - poured, pressed or injected molds are still cheaper - but getting an idea to physical concept could be redefined. Just remember that using a CAD-type program or hand sculpting a miniature still incurs cost.

General updates for the project, Stretch goals should be announced soon, answers to peoples questions, Instructions will be provided for assembly and Backers will be able to purchase more before general release in 2014. Also updates to the Kickstarter page has included more information about when they will be available, This summer for Backers, General Release in 2014 starting with Origins, Historicon, and Gen Con and the on IWM webstore in Fall 2014.

Also I have created a image gallery for the Kickstarter, right now it all the images from the Kickstarter page, plus three more painted pictures.

cool stuff, I wish Camospecs stuck to the bone and grey for the 53rd Shadow Division rather then the Shadow fade with green they offficially have.

Just wanted to pass this on from the Kickstarter to the forum thread. There was a comment on the kickstarter about wanting all three of the LAM's in Ground Mode. If you pledge at the 70 dollar level (all 3 Modes of one LAM), if the project is backed, let us know that you want all three in Ground Mode.

Also, Just received the Waneta that I will be assembling to take some High Resolution pictures of for the Gallery and it is very nice looking. Images to be up this weekend.

Official Announcement of the Stretch Goals is on the Kickstarter Updates Page. Mike has already sent a email out before this announcement to all of the people who Fan Funded the Ground and Air modes of the Wasp, Stinger, Phoenix Hawk LAM's about how everything will be handled for them.

NOTE: Need to fix the part about the Shadow Hawk LAM having a Hybrid mode. I missed letting Marc know about that before the announcement.

Illicitly pirating the Btech Forums, I love how some people, not naming names, are bitching and moaning about the Mk Is being a stretch goal when they did not participate in the Fan Funding Effort (I Know, I got em on a list) and thus do not have the e mail from Mike Noe Explaining some things.

the Stretch goals really needed to be up ten days ago though, to generate a little more excitement, the project might have already been over the top and thus pushing into how far beyond.  right now I will consider us lucky if we can get the Wasp and Stinger stretched.

You're right, JP. I think it may be a little too late for these stretch goals to get out. I 'm having doubts that the project will get funded.

Just keep thinking positive thoughts.. that is what I am doing

JP, I defiantly agree with you on that. I am getting tired of repeating myself every time they repeat the same complaining after every update.

Is there much of a difference in popularity between the Spectral LAMs and the Mark 1 versions of the Star League LAMs? Would it have made a difference to the project had the Mk1 units been the ones originally offered, and the Spectral LAMs added in as stretch goals?


(Of course, I'm hoping that the project will be successful enough to allow both sets of LAMs to get their due; but I'm wondering more about the relative degrees of interest there may or may not be among the BT fanbase for either set of units.)

That's a good question. I'm not sure there's an answer for it at the moment, and outside of conducting a forum(s) poll I honestly don't see you finding one pre-sales. 

Keep in mind that kind of "answer" isn't exactly hard, but a decent way of gauging relative preference, not interest. The Kickstarter itself measures interest.

I usually try to do so, but with handling the IWM forum on BT Forum sorta put me back into the forum. Though it is because of what I said above that led me to stop posting on another forum because I was just going in circles.
