1. First we would like to apologize for the lack of communication on our part. We have had a lot of personal issues as well as many other factors contributing to problems on our part. I discovered 2 weeks ago, for whatever reason, kickstarter quit updating me via email. It seems it was more of my emails fault as it resorted everything via something called focus. Anyone using hotmail can vouch for this.
2. It is true we have started an Etsy shop. 0 of the backer dollars went to funding the shop. We still have all the shipping money reserved for shipping the sets as well as all the powder we purchased to get orders out. I made a mistake in timing for the completetion, and the amount of work that goes into it. I have since, a year past, improved upon the set. Instead of building each piece, there is no gluing for the set all of it is solid cast. I have worked tirelessly on painting.
3. People are receiving their sets and i have since the start of this year been able to get a few backers out a month. There is no specific date on which each set is done, i am taking what i can to work on what i can.

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to give a quick update about the shipping. We have been chipping away at getting these orders out. We have sent several and we are trying to get at the very least one week done now until we can get them all completed. We do apologize for all the delays and push backs. When we started this project there was no way we could prepare for every little thing that could have come our way. There have been a lot of things that have come up that just keep pushing us back further and further, whether it be with supplies or health/personal things. We do very much appreciate the patience and understanding that we receive and know that really truly are trying to get your orders out to you asap.
Thanks,
Dustin

Like stated in a previous update, we are expecting this kickstarter to be finalized by early next year. This is a 9 month delay on our original projected date.
Thanks,
Dustin

When we began the kickstarter we based our shipping times on the two factors.
1. The continuation of interest outside of kickstarter
2. The ability to employ persons to help us with the sets.
The first did not happen. I spent the month of may ordering supplies and hiring a guy to help make silicone molds so we could solid pour pieces. The ability to keep someone employed to continue the project vanished when the continued interest never happened. At the end of may we made some test runs on the solid pours and stock piled a bunch of stuff and started shipping stuff in July. I went on backer kit and used the list and it slipped my my mind that it was not organized properly and so i shipped out orders not based upon ordered backed.
We offered free painting on the sets, and even solid casting the pieces is time consuming when you are working alone and trying to maintain a full time job. Right now we are lucky to get a large order in a weeks time, and this is our fault as we should have set the initial funding goal much higher. With around 40 backers still left to get their orders and it being roughly a week per backer, at our current estimate, it could be early next year or end of this year before the finale orders are out. We are shipping as we make them.
I am going to upload some picture of work in progress to show that we have used the money to fund the project and hopefully boast your encouragement to be patient with us. We also noticed that many other projects on kickstarter take a bit of time before people get what they pledge. Us making the estimate to get the complete kickstarter out the door in a months time was poor calculations on our part.
Thanks
