mistakes. There are a few things I wish we would have done differently and a
few processes that I need to implement before we move to the next stage. Such
are the realities for a small company building a relationship and process with
another company a world away.
The Kickstarter orders are starting to make it into the
hands of the backers, and the question is what do our customers have to say?

ever looked at or handled in my entire life of 32 years.
The level of detail is crazy. The level of customization is
insane. The Leviathan just is absurdly amazing. A marvelous feat of
engineering. Also retail is $120 on it. They will be available for preorder
soon but only will ship after all KS backers have received theirs.
Dreamforge and Wargames Factory have absolutely conquered
the plastic miniatures market. Renedra and Citadel look like crap compared to
these kits.”
“As for future kickstarters, as long as Mark makes pretty
models he will continue to receive my paychecks.”
1) The box is awesome. Great printing and high quality
cardboard. Not cheap and flimsy.
2) All the sprues were stacked then sealed in a plastic bag.
I liked that touch as nothing is flying around.
3) holy crap that detail. I may have to buy a new sprue cutter
because I feel dirty if I touch these models with my tainted pair (used to cut
GW)
4) The instructions for the stormtroopers is kind of
difficult to understand at first.” (Note:
The revised instruction insert did not make it in time for the Kickstarter
orders)
plastic goodness this morning, and I had high hopes for thing, almost too high.
But there were the kits, nestled under a crumpled copy of the Deseret News, and
all I can say is my hopes were not too high, and Judgedoug (the first feedback posted) was not
overselling things at all.
I literally said "wow" when I opened up my
accessory kit: the number of bits is staggering, I mean, I knew on some level
the number of items, but to actually see them, as opposed to just numbers,
almost incredible! The detail on the models is better than I have ever seen on
plastic models, better then I even thought possible.”
and how excellent they fit together! Damn nice miniatures indeed - can't wait
to get my Morty.”
with Kickstarter bonuses. Very high quality kit with very crisp moldings and
sharp detail - easily superior to GW's Gargant. I'm very impressed with DFG's
design and WGF's execution & production.”
All very high praise;
I am more than aware that these are the first glance reviews and that there is
a certain amount of excitement in holding something new. I will take the compliment and say thank you again to all
the backers who made these kits a reality.
All the best!

Note on assembly:
Please don't use any kind of Superglue... You will simply frustrate yourself on
a multi part mini and end up with an inferior build. It does not bond well and
it dries too fast to allow you to tweak the pose.
Use Testors model
cement, the stuff in the orange tube. Trust me.... You will thank me for it.
