I have no problem with companies using KS and I don't see it as a money grab. It's a sound risk mitigation tool and if people at willing to participate, as a company you'd be foolish not to use it.

As to logistics: you keep on using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Nice dig, chief. Logistics is exactly what I said, and exactly what I ment. Don't parade meme's around and act clever when your experience might have been luckier then mine was.

I have tried to go on in along with exactly 4 projects with CMON, and each and every one of them gakked on my head with crap communications and more then a little more then was acceptable inconsistant efforts.

My last one was Kingdom Death. We shall see if it gets the same candy covered gak that the other ones got.


How many million did they take in over the course of the numerous projects, and where did the cash go? Those millions definatly didn't go into fixing the issues, nor into customer service.
Want an example? Try calling them some time.

And I second the gak communication.... misdirections, as a nice way to describe them...

Hate isn't out of control. I had more then enough trouble in dealing with this particular company that if it attaches its name to a project, I give the thing a double look, then move on. Others are in the same mode. Gak customer service gets what it gets.

That is just how it goes.

So, try to ignore most of the hate, have a look for yourself and enjoy if YOU like it.

You have a strong and obvious bias towards game producers at the expense of the consumer. You also make abrasive, aggressive, antagonistic posts on a fairly regular basis. Your posts on balance do not strike me as one of the more reasonable people on this board, rather, you often appear to be a white knight when it's not needed or in dubious situations. You also refuse to apologise when you're proved wrong, as you've shown twice in this last week or so in interaction with myself.

The last line in your post is actually very reasonable, though we're here to discuss the models and look for feedback from other people's experiences. I agree to ignore the hate, but also take on board people's experiences and legitimate issues with things.


I'm very critical, and can also be abrasive at times, and I make no apologies for being biased towards the consumer, though I do try to be fair and balanced, as well as reasonable and articulate about it, and I give credit where it's due. I'm also not afraid to apologise and admit when I've been wrong or misunderstood other posters.

I'm still curious as to which issues with Zombicide or Guilds of Cadwallon you're talking about. Please, elaborate.

Zombicide had the feth-up with them having to change a few models and basically hitting total radio silence over it. GoC I wouldn't know - that went of without a glitch from where I stand. Pretty good quality production too, from the glances I've been able to give it so far.

Are we really considering that a screw up? They made allowances for anyone that didn't like the Mirimax-mandated changes to get refunded..... Where's the problem?

Presumably that they knew about the problem for months before they told the people who had already paid for them?

Dude! don't shoot the messenger... I wasn't even around for that KS! just answering a question I do believe that's what's being argued here.

New Limited Edition Resin released today:

Jet Girl







http://studiomcvey.highwire.com/product/smm35--jetgirl?utm_source=Studio+McVey+List&utm_campaign=abdadcd5f1-SMM26+-+Zeeona&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_33f06d4337-abdadcd5f1-413797517

This is the first Jacques-Alexandre Gillois sculpt we have had in the Limited Edition resin line for a while (he's been hard at work on new Sedition Wars miniatures) - and it's a beautiful piece. It comes from a concept by Roberto Cirillo, and sits alongside the other pieces in our pulp sci-fi collection - Zeeona and Beatuty and the Bot.

The price of this Limited Edition resin miniatures is £13.99, and flat rate shipping to anywhere in the world is £3.95 - no matter how many miniatures you order.

The miniatures come as an unpainted single-piece and is strictly limited to 750 high quality resin castings.

Mike

EDIT: added another picture and store link.

That miniature is awesome!

I'm a big fan of the Rocketeer too...

Off to the Studio McVey store - thanks for posting this Dave!

I would prefer news about 2nd wave shipping dates. Has the stuff left China yet? If so, when? If not, any decent predictions on when it will?

Sorry CptJake I don't know anything about wave 2 shipping I posted Jet Girl here as it's the Studio McVey news and rumour thread not the KS thread if I hear anything I'll post on that thread.

I just found out that while I can get to:

http://www.studiomcvey.com/

I am workblocked for the actual store part of their site!

Another thing to remember to do tonight!

Beautiful model.

That's a gorgeous model, I want it badly. But, there's no way I can justify placing another order with these guys until I have my wave 2 orders in hand (or at least know they're on the way if I'm generous).

Very nice figure.

~Eric

I've got to have this one. It looks great. And the paintjob really is ace, too.

Really nice mini,

If I could afford it this month I would, but I'll need to wait till I can do a larger (& more P&P efficient) order

Very cool- just ordered one, think I'll use it as a SW firebrand or something.

It's been awhile since there has been any Studio McVey news to post but SMV will be at Salute 2016 with some limited edition resins

Salute 2016 is just over a week away, and Studio McVey will be there with resin castings of some of the large monsters from The Others.

So far we have taken delivery of resins of the Avatars for all 7 sins – Pride, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Wrath, Envy and last but not least – Sloth. These are resin collectors pieces, moulded directly from the original sculpts. They are going to be available in very limited quantities. Once they are gone – we won’t be casting any more.

In case you were not aware, these are pieces from The Others Board we launched on Kickstarter last year. They are all very large pieces (Pride is enormous!), and have been cast beautifully by the same facility that makes out Limited Edition Resin range.

I’ll be posting again here before the show, to update on any other pieces we’ll be selling.

Hope to see you there!

Mike

Limited availability (left over from salute) The Others resin miniatures are now available in the online store - when they are gone they are gone no more will be made.
