Time to reanimate some zom bies.

 

 

FINALLY after a loong time waiting, the first sets have dropped of the new machine.

Thankfully quality has really improved again!

Can´t wait to have the cut and bordered prototypes for "sign off" in my hands.

Shoiuld happen by next week hopefully.

 

here some pic of the latest raw-covers before being cut.

Heeeey guys,

 

Another update from my side.

Still chasing the manufacturer to work more on weekends :D

 

Well with slow steps we are moving forward.

New pieces dropped from the new machine, with bigger moulds => beeeeetter quality already confirmed.

They´ve also been cut out.

 

Now just waiting to have the borders applied and then being sent to me.

 

I am really really trying as hard as possible to get that thing sorted for this winter, so that by november/december hopefully orders can be taken.

However, being dependant on the manufacturer, and still having to sign off the final protos... Well wish me luck!!!

 

Oh and thanks for everybody who still believes in this :D

 

and some new piccies also:

Hi guys,

 

Another update.

With the new molds/machine quality has made another step forward.

That topic is cleared now.

 

The only thing missing now is some final tweaking of the bonding gap.

 

Hope to run this thing soon.

 

Will kep you updated.

 

Best regards,

Michael

Any idea when these will be ready? Next week seems to have stretched into a months?  I know it takes time and using specialists is

 

or can be a long drawn out process. Better to say 6 months then have them ready? It is probably a difficult process to get right. I

 

appreciate your efforts Gforce just wondering when?
