[3phase]

Defentlly a kit I want to do but just can't swing it at the moment

[JAWS]

There will be later opportunities.
I don't want to over commit.
Too many other things I have to fit in to time that doesn't exist.

[steve36uk]

Put me down Jase

[JAWS]

Done Steve.

[cireskul]

[JAWS]

Pm me

[dbhs]

Jase,
I need to give you my updated decal graphics for your kit. I'll send you an email.

[Wombat]

Your decal sheet was a nice addition to my build. You did a great job with it!

For you people getting this kit it really is a fantastic kit and the updated decals just top it off.

[JAWS]

Awsome!!!
Thanks Doug.

[dbhs]

Mike, aren't you getting one of these?

[JAWS]

That's 10.
Will add you to the list.
Mike is getting the hull from radiant777' s kit as he just wants the detail parts.

[JAWS]

The kit will come with a 'new' interior pattern that is like the 'original' filming miniature. A nice update to the kit.

[JAWS]

Casting has begun.
Please note I only get around 2 hrs a day during my work week to do casting etc. So I am probably only going to get around 2 kits a week completed. I also don't want to burn out my molds so want to cast from them once a day at most.

[JAWS]

Update.

Kits coming along nicely.
First 2 will be ready pretty soon.

Just awaiting decals & finishing the new cockpit panels.

[JAWS]

Ok all this kit is just about ready to start shipping.
I have 2 awaiting to be shipped.
Just waiting for the transfers to get printed.
Jason Eaton has been working on a couple of small corrections to Dougs transfer pack.
Hope to have these by next week & then we're all sorted.
There have been a couple of additional parts added to the kit thanks to Mr Phil 'Wombat' Curl.

Hers some pics to get you pumped.
Small teasers....

[JAWS]

Ok just wrapping up the final parts & starting to package up.

[mslz22models]

Looking good!

[JAWS]

Ha! Thanks Mike. All because of your guidance my friend.
These are just about ready. It's only the decals to come. Jeffrey Grating was ill & has held him up.
These things happen. Have me tome to get the kit finalised. Still working on the new cockpit panels. Got like 90% of the actual donors. I'm still supplying the kit with yours. It was a great job. Just more reference these days
Some pics coming of whole kit laid out with parts & numbers etc.
Learnt that off Lees & Randy Cooper!

[JAWS]

   

Ok it's Awsome when moulds work right the first time.
So just 2 more parts to finish molding & it's complete.
The decals aren't done yet but first kits ship Monday.
Yay!!!! Finally.

[LastBattlestar]

Great looking castings mate. I'd be very interested to see a complete parts layout as sometime in the future I'd still like to get a partial kit.

Mike

[JAWS]

Mike I will be doing that this afternoon once the last parts are cast.
I will sort you out mate.

[steve36uk]

And boy does he need sorting out! :-)

[JAWS]

Lol!
Ok last parts done.
       

Just for clarity, this is the old cockpit pattern.
I will supply this until the new one is completed.

Decals will have be sent out later also as have not been completed yet.

Kits shipping Monday.

[JAWS]

Almost there.
   

[LeeS]

Looking good!!!

Any idea on price yet?
How about getting one with certain parts missing? I already have a bunch of the kits and it would seem a waste to order a whole kit and throw half the parts out

L

[JAWS]

Let me know what you want Lee.
Open to all options.

[JAWS]

           

Please note parts are only partially cleaned.

[3phase]

Looking good. One day I hope to get one off these kits as I think it is a cool ship

[JAWS]

Any time mate.

[JAWS]

Ok first post updated with numbered parts pictures & info.

I am open to any requests for 'Partial' kits as I know a lot of us have most kits used for detailing.

Once these 10 are done the kit will be available on request.

[JAWS]

Right so have found 2 pieces still missing which luckily I have kits for. Also a couple of parts I'm not satisfied with the castings so back to rubber tomorrow to finish & fix...
Other than that we're good.
Just trying to ensure I'm not back tracking.

[JAWS]

First post list updated.
First parts package sent radiant777
David Adami & boba flint next up.

[JAWS]

Ok have done inventory & have the majority of parts cast for the remaining kits. Can all listed pm me with their status, ie: ready/not ready.
Cheers

[JAWS]

PM's sent for payments. Kits shipping next week.

[JAWS]

Ok so I'm expecting some pull outs which is ok.
So don't stress out if you can't follow through.
I understand we can't always follow through on an order because of life & finances.
Just need to confirm who's following through so I don't waste materials.
My wife wants me to put the funds I used for the materials back in savings to buy a house so just need those that haven't PM'd me to do so please.
The other confirmed orders will be shipped next week.
Thanks.

[JAWS]

I have reduced the price of the kit from $600Au to $550Au.
It's now cheaper than it was when sold by MSLZ22 models.

[JAWS]

Well today was a great day.
I've organised all my parts into separate numbered containers & then marked all my moulds with the appropriate parts numbers.
This has significantly increased productivity & just made things easy for tracking parts.
With 126. Parts with most on doubles or more there are alot if parts.
With the easier production method I reduced the price of the kit to $550Au.
Just passing in the ease of work now to the customers.

Most importantly I adjusted my technique & can honestly say have also significantly improved my casting quality.

Today was a very good day.
               

[Satazius]

Looks great Jason! It's an excellent kit and you are doing it proud!

[JAWS]

Thanks!

Customer satisfaction is my primary objective.

I have refunded the 3 people that have paid the $50 difference of the kit reduction price.

[boba flint]

This looks like injection molded plastic.

Excellent casting Jase!

[LeeS]

The parts are looking great!!
I'll be placing an order shortly, I've just been sorting out the kit parts I already have as it'll be about half the small bits.
Hopefully this will go better than the last time I ordered a shuttle kit with SMT (it was cancelled and refunded)

[JAWS]

Numbered parts picture updated on post one.
I screwed the numbers up...
These correlate with my inventory list.
