KOBOLD AND GENERAL UPDATE
The first mold set for the Kobold pre-order is finished and i will be making a second set to move the production a bit faster. I wanted to experiment with the rotocasting machine and that took some trial and error since the molds must be built differently. I am planning to start casting next week BUT I have also had guests from out of town and then OF COURSE got sick this last week so it's all been moving much slower than I'd like. But it is moving!

The smaller ones shown are 10mm. A small issue is making sure the eye domes and pupils glue into the eye holes without...
WALL HANGER UPDATE 2
Good news everyone! The weather has gone from 106 to a normal 73-78 daytime temp. THANK GOD. The last two weeks were pretty awful but I used the time that I couldn't put into casting to finish a new mask sculpture so it wasn't a complete loss. It also let me work through my exhaustion and burnout from the last mask fulfillment a bit. Now that I can work in the garage again, the preorders for wall hanger blanks will go back into production and will resume fulfillment next week. Very sorry for the unexpected delay in my casting schedule but it is...
