I've been dropping in and out but I think this is my first post. I like the style you've gone with although it's not the one I tend towards. Keep us updated on the kickstarter, I really hope it goes well and I'll try and pledge if I can.

Excellent news, and will be watching for this KS with interest!

PS - Will spread the word where I can, the whole Infinity community needs to learn about this if at all possible !

Looking forward to this - I will definitely be pledging!

And absolutely post this on the Infinity Forum when it goes live!

We are live!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1628235004/sci-fi-traffic-hazards-28mm-vehicles-for-the-futur

Time to get to work!,... wait,,.. havent I been doing that?
Thanks guys, even if this fails it was great fun setting it up and working through the logistics.

Absolutely fantastic!

I hope this isn't going too OTT but this is the most exciting Infinity-related release I have seen in some time.

A more coherent post will follow!

Congratulations! Give us a heads up when you post a News and Rumours thread!

I'm wondering, if I get 2 different vehicules, is it 20$ for shipping the lot or 20$ each ?
What If I get the train and a vehicule, do I add the 22$ to the 20$ or do I only take the highest value ?

I was hoping to avoid a la carte but I think instead Ill use it as an opportunity

I have a table drafted, Ill finalize it and post within 2 hrs most likley
domestic is fairly easy, its international that is a bear. crossing thresholds of 4lbs and 20lbs or 1ft or 3 ft dimensions have irritating jumps in cost and I have to be careful how mixing and matching leads to this. Plus I need to put a cap on international orders at 400USD, since beyond that shipping becomes outrageous.

Ok Done
I have international and domestic addon charts on the main page now

Would I be safe in pledging enough for a couple of different vehicles, then the most expensive P&P ? I guess if further P&P details are going to be sorted at a later date I can just add to the pledge then?

A couple of points to make, if I may!

1 ) Definitely make a post in the main News and Rumour section. Yes, these are great for Infinity, but they might be popular amongst some other games systems.

2 ) These vehicles could be really popular within Europe. Not least because Infinity is Spanish. I think people don't mind paying a bit for P&P, and its completely understandable, but they need to know how much they will pay.

3) Have you posted on the official Infinity forums about this yet?

I have updated the main page to deal with addons both US and international based on weight and volume estimates. Choose the most expensive pledge (taking into account quantity and total cost of homogeneous sets) pledge for that reward, If international add to that the most expensive shipping. Then add individual vehicles based on the table in the main text section of the KS page. These have extra shipping folded into their prices. Note for the train and large vehicles shipping costs start rising back up fairly quickly due to volume of the vehicles necessitating larger boxes. I ask a limit of 400USD for international orders as shipping explodes after that. Im investigating hte most equitable solution for such large orders but I dont think there will be enough interest to warant it.

I will post in the rumor section here later today (about to head out for family time for a couple hours).

I dont feel comfortable posting on infinity forums other than this as I have not established a presence there.... I will notify TMP, and a few others that I do have a presence on.

Thanks for the suggestions!

OK great thanks for the clarification!

So, just to ensure I'm on the right track here, if I wanted to buy (as a way of example) 2 Utility trucks and a monowheel as an International customer I would have to pledge:

$70 (2 x Utility trucks)
$18 (Monowheel)
$20 (int. P&P for Utility trucks)
______
= $108 total ?

With regards to posting on the official forum I'm sure that someone on Dakka would be willing to do so (I've seen some big post-count users from the Infinity forums over here). I'm not very active on there unfortunately, although I'm more than happy to start a thread on the Data-Sphere forum!

Correct
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another example that is slightly more convoluted.
I want
1 medium traffic 210 base +20 intl
1 train 69 usd + 22 intl--not as expensive as med traffic so use the chart-> 73
2 cargo haulers 38*2 =76 + 20 intl-- not as expensive as med traffic so use the chart -> +77
5 monowheels extra 70 usd + 15 intl -- not as exp so use the chart -> +73

so
210
+73
+77
+73
+22 intl--- in this case the train was the most expensive to ship. since its over 10" long and weighs over a pound.
Total minus shpping

That would be 433 total(excluding shipping add-on of 22)--- but wait, International orders are not to exceed 400 USD
So you either need to remove 33 dollars worth of stuff, say downgrading to 1 cargo hauler, or contact me so I can find out how much extra is needed to get this expensive thing shipped. Im going to look into this but from what ive seen so far its very weight dependent as well and will probably require its own irritating lookup table.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now lets do a few domestic examples
Domestic shipping example 1.

I want 1 monowheel, 2 mustangs, 5 grid commuter.
1monowheel = 20usd
2 mustangs = 2*20usd = 40usd
5 grid commuters = 70usd -- the most expensive so pledge for this at 70, and use the lookup table for the remainder.

$70 for 5x grid commuters
$17 for 1 monowheel from chart
$33 for 2 mustangs from chart
=120USD total

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Domestic shipping example 2

I want 1 trains, 2 cargo haulers and 1stomping grounds.

1 train = $69
2 cargo hauler =2* $38=76
1 stomping grounds = $145 ---most expensive so pledge for this then use the chart for the rest

$145 stomping grounds
+$63 for 1 train
+69 for the cargo haulers
=277

---------------------------------------------------------

Domestic example 3.

If instead I wanted 3 trains 1 stomping ground and 2 cargo haulers.

$172
+145 stopming grounds (no discount because its shipping is entirely different)
+69 for the cargo haulers
=$386

Great stuff and thanks for the clarification! That train looks awesome - think it may prove a success also as as far as I know there is no other train available with which to play the one mission from the Paradiso book.

I've started a thread over on the Data Sphere forum (a new fan-made unofficial Infinity forum which has been steadily growing in size)

Also, would you mind me using that GIF you have running as your signature so I can attach it to my own username here on Dakka?

====================================================================

I just started a thread in the news and rumors section of Dakka

Anyone who wants to use the images from the kickstarter to promote it are fully welcome to. Its what they were made for.

You should post a news release on theminiaturespage.com

I'm really impressed with how you are handling criticism and taking feedback on board. That's the mark of good business management and customer service! Good job, dude.

Definitely agree!

Has this got any advertising on the official infinity forums yet?
What about Warseer?

Just about worked out what I want to get now, really hope this can reach the pledge total !

Ok I will do so, as soon as I can remember the correct incantations needed to fit these cursed moving pictures in my signature!

Thats on my list of "to do's" I just havent figured out how yet. TMP is a little less intuitive to navigate. Ive gotten press releases on tabletop news and one other. I think Ill push getting another few press releases after I update the page to include more -non painted vehicles. The problem is painting is an addiction and I painted nearly every proof I had.... I needed them for my UFO game and they were great having fuel cell explosions all over the map! It was a blast! I will see if I have a mold for the missing vehicles. I made my own molds of most of the masters before sending them off so I can make a couple copies for myself. Quality isnt as good but a little modeling skill takes care of that.

My paintjobs are definatly not the most popular, Im used to that. Its usually a different story when people see me actually doing the airbrushing or see the model in person. Its hard to capture how these really look with pictures. Besides I mainly paint to make me happy. Otherwise I take criticism for what its worth, If someone was annoyed enough to be negative, even if it was malicious, there is always something to be learned. Besides, I make pretty things like this at work and work is where I get a lot of ideas Ah the pretty things Im still not allowed to show...
Besides, One of my masters used to say you can learn anything from anyone, even a brand new whitebelt. Its up to you to find the lesson in it if you truly wish to improve.
And to prove it I took their advice, and added a minute to the end of the video showing concept drawings which show detail in a much simpler manner.

Here is a stab at making the code "copyable" I just used opened up this page in HTML, and copied Alpherius's banner code. Ive never programed HTML but its not rocket science by any stretch =) sorry guys I dont know how to comment HTML so Ill replace less than and greater than signs with OPEN BRACKET AND CLOSE BRACKET

OPEN BRACKET a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1628235004/sci-fi-traffic-hazards-28mm-vehicles-for-the-futur" target="_new" rel="nofollow" CLOSE BRACKET OPEN BRACKET img src="http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww42/atropos907/Sci-FiTrafficHazardsKickstarter2_zps4b524ee6.gif" / CLOSE BRACKET OPEN BRACKET /a

BRACKET is a "<"


Thanks for your help guys, I hope this KS makes everyone a bit happier!

I don't know what those are, but I'm pretty sure I want some.

If you would please take a look at the "news and rumors thread"
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/517590.page
and tell me if you think the KS page may be better served showing either
1. the pictures on this page which are uncleaned, unpainted proofs?
2. moving the pics from the bottom of the KS page up to the top?
3. Using the pics of the uncleaned unpainted proofs in a second short video?

For the future
Update #4 - For backers only · May 2, 2013 · 1 comment

Id like to thank those who attempted to back this project.

i have recorded your KS Identities of those with active pledges at the end of the campaign, and what you pledged for so that I can make good on offering to you first when product becomes available.

Notes for later. I will be offering the bases probably within 1-2 months at 30-50mm, and then a month later at 25 and 40mm (more appropriate to games like infinity) Which basically is the same bases without the rounded perimeter.

Im also working on some power suits, Im hoping to have at least one done within a few months.

If your interested in following my progress I will maintain a presence on Dakka and Data sphere under the SN Atropos907

Thanks for your support.

Respectfully

Steve

Best of luck moving forward Steve - and please keep us up to date!

a quick pic of some WIP battlesuits on my bases. With some of my revamped papercraft cargo modules in the background.

Wow, those look really good!

And, still looking forward to those vehicles going on general sale at some points also

Let me add a "WOW!" to Pacific's!

Those Battlesuits are very nice indeed!

Just to be sure, the way both of you made that statement leads me to wonder if I accidentally misled you. The battle suits depicted are (left: infinity Tag Lizard, Middle and right: Zandris IV battle suits) They are not my designs. Just making sure because Im not sure if your saying wow to the paint job, the mech design or them on the base.... Ill have a render or sketch WIP of my battle suit up within a few days probably tonight if I can get some rendering time in.

No worries here - I recognized some, but not all!

Loving the bases, and looking forward to seeing your official webstore open up...

Sorry things didn't work out as hoped mate. Looking forward to seeing your progress though!

Erm.. yes I was referring to the paintjob and overall look of the mini! *cough*

Ok kickstarter supporters should have received an offer to buy some of the larger vehicles. Ive filled a few orders so now Im opening this up. Supplies are limited, but frankly I doubt Ill sell out anytime soon. Only the models in bold are available. The rest are being sent out this week for production molding with the assistance of funds recovered from the first round of sales. Shipping not included. If your intersted PM me with what you would like and your mailing address and paypal billing email address. Ill write back with an expected timeline (esp if I have to cast some of it up) and I wont invoice you until Im ready to ship.
