Cant wait til mine comes round! (well, I can, but I'm excited again)

I can but only because I know I have to. The same goes for everyone else in the queue really. We'll all just have to be patient.

So 15th is crystal. 20th is china...

Which anniversary was dragons?

Also. Congrats on the incoming dragon Auld Grump.

So far the Dragon Anniversary has been:
1st (Cang)
2nd (Gauth)
3rd (Kaladrax - the metal one, not the more recent PVC one)
and 4th (Wyrmgear)....

First was the most expensive (Cang), and 4th was the least expensive (Wyrmgear), with Kaladrax and Gauth fitting right into the middle somewhere.

The point where the dragons are available as In Stock has so long been out of reach that i can't quite picture what will happen when it is reached. I imagine i will run the moulds until they die (which won't take long) and then that will be it, end of story. We shall see, though.

Don't you think the dragon will sell well when it's available to buy with reasonably quick delivery? You've worked long and hard to get production up and running, it would be a shame if you don't get a payoff at the end of it all.

I've sold my house to get this sorted out, so 'a shame' doesn't even cover it...

Gods above and below, I hope that you can at least recoup your losses.

Trying to nudge other folks toward your site - I think that one Necromunda player will likely to order the trench coat gang - he was the one that beat me with the minis that he borrowed from me....

I have also touted Nutter and your troll, where appropriate. (Nutter makes regular appearances in Mordheim.)

Thanks, 'Grump. Appreciate it very much. Do you mean Nakka the ogre, when you say Nutter?

Nar - Nutter was the name that you used to have on Ogre With Table:

He tends to hang out with my Reiklanders as a mercenary.

I sold one of them to another Mordheim player as a commission.

Heh - speak of the Devil... I just ordered yet another of these excellent ogres, for another commission, along with a halfling and some more gangers (this last is for me).

Might as well make sure that you have some orders waiting for you when you get back.

That's excellent news. Slow and steady wins the race

.

Just out of interest, how much did the miscast Dragon sell for at Salute?

Big Boris · « **Reply #1736 on:** April 25, 2014, 02:16:19 PM »

Dragon #60 boxed and will ship today, 161 to go. Onwards, ever onwards...

My dragon's getting closer. One scale at a time.

DRAGON · « **Reply #1739 on:** May 02, 2014, 07:36:56 AM »

I really do feel guilty with mine sat here not finished .....

However I'm not prepared to show it off until I am happy with the results..................

Big Boris · « **Reply #1740 on:** May 02, 2014, 07:29:54 PM »

Currently up to number 66 shipped. Will be casting number 67+ tomorrow or Sunday. 156 to go. Rubber tree, meet ants. Ants, you know the drill.

What do you do when you finish the queue Andy? Sell the green? Add to stock? Dance naked through the industrial estate?

weareblind · « **Reply #1742 on:** May 03, 2014, 09:09:45 AM »

Well, no, build up another throng of dragons!

Build a longship and give it a viking burial while laughing maniacally I should think !

Reveal the new dragon I've been secretly working on and then shoot myself in the head.

Big Boris · « **Reply #1745 on:** May 03, 2014, 12:24:31 PM »

Note: I have NOT been secretly working on a new dragon, although I have of course planned it out and know what I would want to sculpt. Not going to, unless it's feasible to raise funds for it in plastic. No interest in ending up spending the rest of my life in this windowless unit casting dragons!

IN all seriousness, it depends on what condition whichever set of moulds I'm on by then is in. If I can squeeze a couple more dragons out of them, I will, if not, that's it. Drawing a line under it and moving on to the next stupid bright idea. Ask me again in 156 dragons time.

If people want a dragon, the only way to get one for certain is to make sure you add yourself to the queue before I reach the end of it! ie before Christmas this year, with any luck.

21 January, year 2009. My small amount of money was sent. A lot of water in my simple life is passed under the bridge Andy. Be strong mate, this is a test from the Heavens (or Hells).

Big Boris · « **Reply #1747 on:** May 03, 2014, 01:48:44 PM »

Currently 34th in line, Antonio! (Number 104 in original queue)

For those wondering why the numbers to be cast don't quite tally with queue numbers, it's because there are about half a dozen refunded/swapped numbers in there, which for the purposes of people remembering where they were in the queue, I've left in so that individual number places don't change.

For God's sake, do a Kickstarter for any new dragon before going back into debt on the brute!

Maybe find out how much it cost Reaper to make the mold for their enormous Kaladrax PVC model - Reaper now has their own PVC machine... but I think that both that and the company that they use in China might be busy for a while.

Hell... do the sculpt for Reaper, get paid less, but up front.

The thing is... you will have to sell a lot of dragons to make back your money from a plastics mold.

Don't worry, a new dragon is so far away on my list of things to do that I will be dead long before it could happen.
