We've just hit a milestone and i just wanted to thank you all for the support. Like i said before, this all started because i wanted my own TFA armor so i could troop in it in time for the release of the movie. I started researching, planning, and sculpting exactly 1 year ago. I had the help of some extremely talented sculptors to help refine my roughs (the son of a National Artist no less) and through serendipity met my awesome fiberglass guy. I initially just wanted my own set and a few for my Garrison for us to troop in for the premier. But then my fiberglass guy told me that he was happy that we met, and that he had a little business again, after a long hiatus and that he would really appreciate if i could help him keep his shop afloat. So i decided to see if i could help him out. And thanks to all of you, not only has he been able to pay the rent for his place and avert his having to be evicted, he was also able to offer jobs to those who badly needed it. So again, I'd just like to thank all of you for helping me help them.

So on to the updates:
1) casting the April run sets is ongoing and more than half the sets have already been shipped out
2) some parts have been improved upon such as the thighs and forearms, some old molds have been replaced by new ones
3) we're currently experimenting with rotocasting new sculpts of the Phasma finger armor with the same flexible resin
4) I'm almost finished rough sculpting the Snow trooper armor
5) Because my fiberglass guys will be taking a well deserved week off mid-May , so i'll be opening up the list for the May Run a bit earlier (next week) so that we can get started on that already to avoid any backlogs.
Thanks!
More sets shipping out tomorrow.
