I had a bit of a blitz on packing Imperial Skies pledges yesterday while Phil was fiddling with his moulds. A big pile of orders will be going to the post office this morning (it’s only a small local branch, so they’ve been pre-warned to expect them !). So far we’ve completed just over 30% of the pledges, and this doesn’t include those North American customers who will have received their books but are still waiting on models or other components. I’m hoping to get even more done at the start of next week – although there’s a planned power outage at the workshop all day Monday, so I may not get much done in the dark !
31% of pledges have shipped
Phil brought the new Lexington master mould along and has cast tins to make the replacement production mould over the weekend, so that will hopefully allow us to ship pledges which need those. The last hurdle will be the Japanese cruisers – the mould for the new versions is not playing ball, with the side guns not casting properly. We will first try making a new one with the ships aligned differently to see if that cures the problem, or in the worst case we’ll have to modify the designs slightly, get new masters printed and try again – this will put a delay of potentially several weeks on things, so in this case we will ship pledges without the cruiser and send those on as soon as they are ready.
