Sorry for the radio silence. I can assure you the project is being worked on by multiple people every day. We experienced a setback that resulted in a lot of re-work. Not very exciting stuff to make updates about. After the factory scanned the hand sculpted parts into digital files everything looked great. We knew we were going to have some clean up though. As we were cleaning up parts, we noticed a few issues with the geometry. The more we looked the more issues we found. We also found issues when the o-ring design was added into the figures. We were going down rabbit holes trying to figure out what was going on. It was stressful and gut wrenching, but we had to put these problems to bed so we can put out the very best product. We had to go back to the original designer of our sculpting buck and make the changes to add in the o-ring design. Then we had to check and/or recreate every single part to ensure everything was right. 100’s of parts and 100’s of hours work. Multiple people checking and correcting everything and then assembling the models in the computer and making more corrections. We are finally getting back on track with the factory now. Here are some shots of some of the corrected parts.
