Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs
UPDATE 22/10/14
Bit of potential bad news I'm afraid guys
It's not 100% yet, but it looks that the package with the 3D printed head and all the accessories has potentially been lost in transit.
We are currently waiting for a reply from the postal service to confirm whether it definitely is lost, in which case then we will have to re-print everything again and get it sent off to Pete to clean up. We can't reprint until the part are confirmed as lost due to the cost, unfortunately.
Hopefully they come back with some good news but i thought I'd let you all know the situation. As soon as anything else develops I'll let you know.
Sorry for the huge delay on this project and thanks for your continued patience.

It's not your fault but seriously, this is getting ridiculous.

MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs
Yeah it's been a long time and I apologise to everyone waiting but there's nothing I can really do.
USPS need to confirm the package is lost before the stuff is reprinted and we've been hassling them for the past 2 weeks and the only reply you receive from them is we will inform you once we know ourselves.
The updated vest has also been delayed by 2-3 weeks so I can't even move the sneaking suit along.
Anyways, for all those that have paid I apologise again for the mega delay on this project and as always as soon as I know anything I will update.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs
Hey Guys - Sean here
Well this was supposed to be a FAST turn around -
yes, it looks like the package has been lost. My printer guy cannot confirm this though as he has just put an inquiry in with usps and apparantly that takes a long time for them to get back. HE thinks the package is NOT lost.
The thing is - I cannot let you guys wait even longer than you already have. As some of you have stated - this is getting ridiculous
So I have made the decision to reprint this batch, because of the exspensive printing costs this will mean not only will I not get paid for this project, but I will have to pay out of my own pocket in order to see this project through.
The point here is that, you as a customer have paid your fee already and deserve a project to be finished in a timley manner. I appologise again for this guys. To help speed things up I have found a moldmaker in Canada who I will be able to send all the parts to who will help to check the sizing and then will be able to mold and cast the parts up as soon as he receives them

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs
Thank you very much for the reply, Sean. I think we should wait for news on the package first, before figuring out the next step. You've already done the hard work of rapid-prototyping the heads, and there's the high possibility that the package is just held up somewhere in a USPS container, and needs a postal employee to find it.
As a MGS fan, I truly appreciate that you were even wiling to do this project for us. I'm not sure about everyone else, but personally, I can wait for more news about the missing package. It has been a while since this project started, but that's not a problem for me. So, if you do decide to expedite the process of re-prototype the heads (for folks who need theirs IMMEDIATELY), you can hold mine off in the mean time. I won't mind at all :duff.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs
Hey Sean, thank you for posting here.
It's truly unfortunate of what happened but by all means, do take your time. There is no angry mob here and in actuality, we're very grateful for your time and effort.
I have no idea how international postage works and this is actually the very first thing I've ever paid for outside of my country, so I hope it's a shipping hold up of sorts. I'm totally fine if we have to wait for the final word from the shipping company.
Either way I respect whatever course of action you take and just like what Solidus said above, if it comes down to holding off mine, I'm cool with waiting.

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs
Well guys got some GREAT news!
I'm glad to finally say that the heads arrived with Pete yesterday! :yess
That means we won't have to re-print or anything (thank god). Pete is going to clean up the parts and then send them off to the caster for casting.
Sorry for the bad quality pics, Pete took them really quick this morning. Will have some better ones tonight

hey guys
Thanks for all the kind words - but really - thanks for hanging in there and telling me to wait - you saved me a small fortune in reprinting! It's really a great community to be in!

Re: MGS1: Solid Snake Project sculpted by sdabbs
The sculpt looks FANTASTIC! :yess: I'm glad everything worked out with the sculpts. That's not a bad price for the accessories.
Not a problem at all, Sean :duff. I must say, you've done a truly fantastic job!
