Freaked Out!
5/29/13 Update:
Just want to update everyone that I've hit a speed-bump so to speak, so the Ranger is taking a little longer than I anticipated. He's going to take a little longer to finish because the mold and castings on his hand is taking a lot longer than I initially thought. The resin I use takes several days to dry and harden. Unlike the hat and mask which is thinner, the hands are using the same soft material, but because it's thicker, it's taking much longer to fully cure. The last few sets I've casted are averaging 3-4 days just for one set to cure. I just want to let everyone know. I'll try to finish him as soon as I can. Heads are being painted currently and Jen has already finished the clothing and we're starting to put everything together. So the hands casting and the box is the only thing slowing things. I hope to finish him in the next few weeks and will try to find a way to speed up the castings on the hands.
5/3/13 Update:
The run is closed and the edition size is 7 total. Numbered certificates will be issued per the list below and I'll keep everyone updated. A big thanks and congrats to all the collectors joining in on this!
I've placed an order for the guns and metal bullets and spurs, but Battlegear Toys is backordered until the second week of May so I hope to finish and ship everyone's out by the end of May at the very latest. I'll post updates here and you guys have my email and PM so feel free to contact me with any questions/comments.

Alright guys he's finally done. I'll leave a few of the WIP photos, but I can only post so many images here. I'll add more photos in the posts or if anyone wants more photos, you can view all the photos on my Blog or Facebook account.
I finally got all the costs nailed down and with the 6 people on the interest list right now, he's going to be $465 shipped (shipping and Paypal fees included - International shipments are just $20 extra). Please PM me if you are still interested. I would like a $150 deposit to be paid and it will take about 2 weeks to finish all the figures to ship and the balance will be due then. I will use the deposit to get the body, guns, bullets, boots and supplies and start building them. The numbered certificates will be issued based on the time of payment so for example the first person to send in the deposit will get #1, second will get #2, etc. I will only make the run specific to the interest list and no more will be made later on. If you need to make payments for make a schedule of payments, just let me know. Jen and I are very flexible on the payments and we just want everyone to be happy. The run is made and closed because we won't be able to find the same materials and supplies to make any additional ones later.
If anyone wants any separate parts or castings, please let me know.
