The Recluse Billionaire (TDKR) SOLD OUT

[gargan]

Hi, sorry to hear the result didn't turn out as we wished, but can i just have that glossy one? I don't want to complain or blame anyone, i know you've tried to make this perfect, please understand how I feel: since i paid back in Dec 2012, it's been 1 and 1/2 yr now; I don't think I want to wait another few months to complete this transaction. Although the glossy one is not perfect and not exactly what I wanted, at least we can call it complete. hope you understand.

Hey all - State of the Cane address...

Short - Still working on casts that are up to my standards and are a good product.

Also - I will be offering a $15 discount on a future purchase with me for anyone who bought this set.

The long:

So I received a test cast from my caster for the batch mold. The product was true black and the gloss finish was perfect. The problem however is that the cut line on the cane causes a seam and an overlap (where the seam meets is not flush causing one side to sit lower than the other.)

This is horrible on a black high-gloss item.

So the plan is to print a set of heads and feet for the canes and cast them in two parts. The foot on the rod and that will prevent the cut line then the head and just glue them together.

Also - I have talked a lot about the botched set of canes that were first done last year. Here are pics showing how those turned out.

Here is a pile of them:

Next to the straight rods used in the proto you can see how warped they are.

Bad cut lines and pour points.

Has this taken longer than it should - I have always agreed to that - but I hope you can see I want this to look right and not look like a piece of crap.

Realistically probably August. VisionProto is back up and running again after about a month hiatus for moving half across the country. Three sets are being printed this weekend and heading strait to the caster. Looks like this is finally coming to a close. Momentum feels good.

I'm selling mine, if anybody's interested.

Mine is finally painted by a friend we went for a younger look. Hope you like it!

I like the skin tone, though I think you need a finer brush 20/0 for eyes and little details..

 

[fecho2007]

Thanks Tyranus! I will tell this to my friend!

 

[Triton]

I am ready to take a refund if the cane still can't be delivered. It's been dragging for too long.

Exactly. It;s been way too long. We need a refund. This sucks. PLEASE RESPOND.

First few rounds failed. But - they are in production this week. I was texted a photo of a clean cast yesterday.

There will be no seam on these canes which is what the problem has been from day one...

All orders should ship in Feb. I will post the finished canes as soon as I have them in-hand.

 

[Commtech]

February??? Dammit.
