I am very excited : ) I can finally start to shout about the Warlord Titan Build campaign I am now embarking on. Although this bad boy arrived at my house a couple of months ago, I wanted to wait until the rush of summer conventions, crazy workloads, and activities with rambunctious children had calmed down a bit. Now is that time : )
Over the next six months I plan to clean, assemble, and paint this massive beast and have it ready in time to unveil at AdeptiCon 2016. I think that's a pretty reasonable timeframe, as I'll be working on it at nights (and a little on the weekends, if I can squeeze it in).
I'm looking forward to messing around with all sorts of stuff I haven't done before, including filming a lot of videos of my progress along the way. You can see the first of these videos below (or on my YouTube channel). In this one I not only do an "unboxing" of the Warlord, but I also mention my Patreon campaign (something else I haven't done before).
For those of you not aware of Patreon, it's a site that helps artists and content creators to find and interact with patrons around the globe who want to help support their favorite artists in a financial way. My aim with this Patreon campaign is to raise enough that I can not only spend nights working on this, but also a full day each week so that I can increase the quantity of content as well as the quality of the videos as I go along.
Like any crowd-funding campaign, there are some reward levels that I've included that should be pretty cool - from campaign-exclusive decals from Fallout Hobbies to Google Hangouts, and even painted miniatures (sculpted by Chris Borer and painted by me).
Please head on over, check it out, and pledge if you can.
Finally, I'll also be documenting the build via Instagram, if that's more our thing. I like taking photos, and I hope that this will help keep me more active in doing so, as well as helping me refine my approach. You can follow my feed here.
Well, I'm off to start the arduous process that is cleaning and prepping all the parts for this madness.
Wish me luck ; )
Cheers
Dave
Oh my. You gone double down on the social cray cray. Should be a boon for ye. Looking forward to the build and seeing it on the table.
ReplyDelete"All the media!" Thanks mate, I hope it doesn't get too sickening for you ; )
DeleteExciting stuff Dave! It's a big project not only building and painting this model, but adding meticulous documentation of the process, but I have faith in you. I'll be looking forward to following the process!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nick. I think it'll be equal parts mind-numbing torture and exceptionally deep joy : )
DeleteNow for the indelicate question Dave: what's Patreon's cut that they're taking off you?
ReplyDeleteNot sure on that one. I'm expecting 2-3%.
DeleteBecause I'm more than happy to contribute, but if it's too large I'll just paypal it over to you instead!
DeleteReally looking forward to this Dave!
