Resin shots of stretch goals
The majority if you will have seen these in your hands at this stage, but I'm going to start cleaning up and painting a set of all the unlocked miniatures later this month. I snapped shots of some of the raw resins earlier, though this isn't a complete listing yet.

August report for Shieldkin
We're almost done!
All unlocked models are moulded up.
The majority of orders have been posted as not many of you were after Slingers.
I will be taking pictures, on Thursday, of everything that has been cast up since the project ran. There are a few pledges waiting on seeing those before deciding final selections.
... and then I can start looking at beginning the sculpting for the second nesting! I am hoping to add a few champions, a new shaman and anything we missed in the stretch goals from the first nesting. I'm also contemplating a palanquin and some smaller and larger turtle-folk.

Archers and shields are go!
Hello folks - almost everything is now moulded. Just a few more slingers to hit the rubber this week. I've taken up another job so my time on Krakon is a little less than when I launched this project, but we should be fully delivered inside of August regardless - a week or two later than I was aiming for.
Shieldkin moulded:
- Shaman: 1 of 1
- Command: 2 of 2
- Champions: 1 of 1
- Halberds 4 of 4
- Spears 4 of 4
- Bows: 4 of 4
- Hand axes: 4 of 4
- Slings: 1 of 4
- Shields: 4 of 4
Any pledges/orders placed that involve complete sets will be hitting the mail system on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Production update
Here's an update on the models that have been moulded thus far:
- Shaman: 1 of 1
- Command: 3 of 3
- Halberds 4 of 4
- Spears 4 of 4
- Bows: 2 of 4
- Hand axes: 1 of 4
- Slings: 0 of 4
- Shields: 1 of 4
Any pledges/orders placed that involves complete sets will have been sent this week.
I anticipate having the hand axes, slings, bows and bows and shields early next week, with most of the remaining orders to go out by end of next week. Everything should hopefully in the various mail systems before August!
For the second nesting I am going to be exploring some of the stretch goals that were not unlocked. As the entire range wasn't sculpted by me, I am looking forward to adding my own characters and creations to the range, alongside more weapon options.

Production & Fulfilment schedule
Thank you all for supporting this project. We had a massive boost on the final day, which unlocked another stretch goal - slingers! Again, they'll be the same deal as all the other infantry - 4 variations, same prices.
Here are the WIPs - I say WIP as I haven't tidied up the sculpts myself on these, nor removed the puddle bases.
All these unlocks will be tweaked and put into production over the coming week and I will be putting up details of the pledge manager then also. It is likely to take me a week to get all the extra models tidied up and into moulds, so pledge will not be posted out until at least 13th July onwards and then it will be a case of sending them as fast as I can cast them.
With the success of this first nesting, there will definitely be a follow-up. This will include all the stretch goals that were not unlocked, and most likely more poses, weapon choices and characters.
