Hey there Costumers! We have been super busy making all the stuff we can as fast as life allows, so I just wanted to give you all a general update on where we currently stand on the various projects that we have underway. . . 1. The Pyro/Torch Jet Pack & Gauntlets: This has proven to be a far more ambitious undertaking than we thought. We are nearly 9 months from when we started and I am happy to say that we are around 75% done with all the parts for the jet packs. We have overcome the biggest obstacles in making these a reproducible kit and are moving ahead in large strides to get this completed. We are planning on offering these as an assembled pack with lights! We have not determined a price yet. As far as the gauntlets go, We have the base molds nearly complete and all of the parts for the boxes are laser cut and currently being assembled to check fitment before molding ensues. 2. The Powertech Helmet, Armor, & Blasters: The helmet master is nearly complete. I have started filling some low spots and correcting some of the sculpt for symmetry purposes. We should be casting these as early as mid-August. The Blasters and the thermal detonators are all modeled up and waiting on our new 3D printer to arrive to print out the master and get them molded up for casting. The various armor bits are in the midst of the drafting process. 3. The Westar Carbine (Deathwatch Carbine): The master is complete and is waiting for us to mold it up. (It is waiting its turn.) We have also ordered in some sound and light controllers that we hope to incorporate into a Deluxe version. 4. Our Republic Commando Helmet build is back on the bench and, once some design decisions are made, will be back underway ASAP. 5. The scaled down Female/child JT-12 Jet pack master is around 60% complete and we hope to be molding it up around the end of August, if at all possible. 6. We have 2 Custom blaster designs completed also waiting on the 3D printer to arrive. Look for some cool custom stuff around the beginning of Fall. 7. New molds for old parts: The Westar 35 Mold (4th Gen) will likely be retiring shortly after the 3D printer shows up as we are going to print new, improved masters that will be more efficiently cast and improve what we can offer in both weight and functionality. (Think Hollow with electronics.) The Season 5 Comlink will be receiving a new master and mold as soon as the 3D Printer shows up and we can successfully get a print of it. Four of our JT-12 Jet pack auxiliary molds for the resin bits are in dire need of reworking and are showing their age. 8. We are upgrading the controller on our large format laser cutter and will be adding the ability to etch, etc. I am sure that some new offerings will spring forth from this. 9. We have a couple of Halloween related offerings in the works, hopefully we can announce something very soon on them. 10. We are working on adding two things to our Deathwatch armor kits, A vacuum formed outer belt, and boot toe caps for the Brahma Banjo boots. The belt forming buck is nearly ready for pulling and I have all the items needed to cast the boot caps, just have to get around to it. There are probably a dozen or so other things that I have forgotten to mention. If there is something that you are wondering about, feel free to email me at brandon@eternalarmory As always, thanks for all of your support and awesomeness. Stay tuned! -B-
