Good evening everyone.
For the last three weeks I’ve been convinced by the end of each week I would have an announcement that casting has begun again.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get a suitable environment set up after being let down twice - I thought I would be moving all the casting equipment to somewhere I can run it all and the extraction but haven’t been able to and it remains in a storage container.
There are just continued problems in my life and at this point I feel that no matter what - something comes up to halt my current progress with this project. I also know that if I was in your positions Id probably be overall very pee’d off and wouldn’t even care about the set anymore- so I’m just going to take on as much work as I can get now and refund you each in full.
Also obviously I have the moulds so I can still cast anyone who wants it a ‘version’ of the armor in kit form... it won’t be the thing of beauty I wanted but essentially minus the B.S and the problems I want to give the refund in full plus armor ‘kits’ to everyone who was on the run as of my last update.
I will still soon at some point have somewhere to work so options would be if anyone wanted it..
1- a ‘basic’ polyester (normal) fibreglass set, it has a poor heat resistance, its brittle, it’s stiff it not great but most of you are familiar with its properties - but it’s very easily modifiable, can be glued, screwed, glassed and filled- easy to repair and easy to paint. Highly Toxic to the builder at every level of the process.
My second kit option- is an epoxy version of the fibreglass- very similar but with improved qualities - slightly longer layup process but less brittle, similarly stiff but improved heat distortion resistance- not as easy to fill / adjust as the polyester but still very doable. Pretty much the same method to paint. Far less toxic to the builder at every stage of the process.
Both would be kit form.
Obviously though I understand for most of you refunds are priority at this point.
No matter how long it takes I will do whatever I can to rectify the upset I have caused with delays on these sets of armor to best suit you all, and hopefully one day I will be forgiven for my mistakes here.
Thank you
