Hi Vader1974,
We are sending an update on this project, but to be concise, no, we had to push out the expected ship out for this project. While a missed delivery time always sucks, I hope you can find the reason somewhat hopeful : after endless debate on the sculpt of the mantle and chest boxes, we decided to go back to the archives, scan the originals and literally have everything printed from these scans. I've been waiting to put up a post with some of the results, but what we found was by doing this, complex curvature was finally captured and most importantly, the correct flare of the mantle was caught. Excited is an understatement and something our manipulation of previous sculpts could never capture. Secondly, the size of the print outs correctly capture the original pieces. What we found was the our original mantels ( that had traces to the originals) suffered from 2-3% shrinkage and in some mantles, as large as 5% shrinkage. This was also true for the chest box scans we took.
Thus, we wanted to get it right the first time around as a result, I made the executive decision to delay shipment to finally put a nail in ensuring the right look..it doesn't get better than scans and prints of the originals. But with that said, we should do a lot better of updating everyone, so I apologize for the lack of updates and most of all, the delays.
