i've picked the purple and it is indeed epic. titan gray and purple will be the first to go into production. because these colors are going to match the danco colors, i'm going to go ahead and start producing. i also have a color i like that is somewhere between aqua and light blue -- cerakote "robins egg blue". because i'm not sure where it fits, i'm not going to go into production on any of the blues or greens yet.

the purple is cerakote "bright purple" for reference.

ming -- did you get my PM about wanting switch back to raw for my order?
no, i've updated it now.

ooh, burnt bronze? any other takers?


Signed up originally for Bronze hoping it would be burnt bronze, so put my vote down for that also

Thank you for the recent progress updates!
I am now having a hard-time deciding between purple , titan grey, and raw.  ???


Also, my kit is still up for grabs if anyone is interested, if not, I won't be sad to keep it.  :thumb:

I'm interested in doing a dark gray/black option as well. Since I also want a notched plate, how much will a custom color run me?
GODLIKE SmallFry in progress.

Nearly a year later, and still in production. Some high-rises are built more quickly. This is why I stopped doing group buys.

Status remains largely unchanged from my previous post.  Plates are still being painted and I believe titan grey and purple ones are done.  Other parts are waiting for the following to be resolved:

the folks i'm working with are trying to help, and we might be able to give you insanely cool news if that all works out. if it doesn't, production will march on as it has been.

I don't really have much info on what's being tossed around but I will let mkawa announce anything that arises :)

sigh. i hate to be so quiet on this front, but i am _still_ trying to work with some folks on some hopefully exciting developments for the parts of the kit that aren't titanium or sorbothane. i would not be trying so hard to work on this if i didn't think it was pretty exciting. that said, i also want to give people their kits, so i'm trying as hard as i can to balance the possibility of exciting vs the reality of sending people kits asap. i have been SWORN TO SECRECY on these discussions, but i will make a final decision next week.

on the upside, tammi and i have settled wild green for the green plates, ridgeway blue for deep blues, and are looking at burnt bronze for the bronze plates.

OK, I've talked with folks and it looks like cool stuff is a go. We're working on an announcement and you will hear from everyone involved by the end of the week.

1058 is titan gray on both plates :D

if anyone can show me how to build a read-only view of a google spreadsheet that only includes a subset of columns, i can make the color choices public. i could have sworn i've seen people give talks about how this is implemented but darned if i can actually figure out how to do it.. :/

neither bronze has been ordered yet. the green and blue colors have come in. we'll paint one of each to make sure it's what we want and then i'll go ahead with production of those colors.

we'll get to bronze after the ordered colors have been debugged and produced

actually, i'm not entirely sure where they are. i thought they were heading to me, but they may still be in iowa.

as for the announcement, it's kind of a large-ish announcement that is a bit bigger than just the smallfry kit, which is cool, but also means that it requires a number of parties to organize themselves while still doing the work required to make the announced thing happen asap. we're getting there (a) and (b) it will be a cool bonus to thank everyone for their patience and participation.

I'm confused. It sounds like things are already in production but the order form says 6 left. Are there still six orders open or is this GB closed?

mkawa's big announcement will have to do with the PCBs. We couldn't have them made a month ago, due to the CNY holiday, and while that delay was happening, some other developments have come into play. Stay tuned!

yes, the metal is all cut (save notchless plates, which i'm waiting to hear about with the PCBs) and about 25% has been painted. as jdcarpe said, the pcb has been subject to some recent, pretty cool developments that i'm waiting for some folks who are probably reading this post to help me announce :P. there has, in fact, been 10k put into this project along with many months of pushing on shops, prototyping and debugging. re: the 6 remaining indicated on the website. that is wrong. by my notchless plate count, a few plates have not been spoken for, but i'm going to go ahead and hold those back for now.

i do have some notched plates that i wasn't entirely happy with, but have decided that i will go ahead and distribute in an attempt to make things right.

that said, i can't erase the months of waiting. i can and am doing my best to get to the best possible outcome given what has happened to now.

neither bronze has been ordered yet. the green and blue colors have come in. we'll paint one of each to make sure it's what we want and then i'll go ahead with production of those colors.

we'll get to bronze after the ordered colors have been debugged and produced
I'm OK with being a bronze guinea pig for my bottom plate if it would speed things up.

Can't seem to PM so bumping.
wait, do you want to guinea pig burnt bronze or regular bronze?

I'm willing to guinea pig burnt bronze if you still need one.

I can't remember what colours I picked for my first kit. (#1079) but for the second (#1193) was in this batch if I recall

i have 5 or 6 kits left. the next 6 kit orders will get no choice on colors (because you're going to get the cerakote experiments) but will get notched plates for free.

eta: basically, you're going to get a colored top plate of completely unknown, potentially multiple colors, and a gray bottom plate.

If you need to experiment with more plates I don't mind if you paint the bottom plate crazy colours too. Only if that will help.

I've been trying to keep up, but what colours are definite now?

titan gray (painted, done), purple (painted, done), green (not painted yet), blue (not painted yet), and it looks like bronze is a lock with all the interest.

i need to look at the seafoam numbers again and check the cerakote colors for a good seafoam. i've been focusing on only a couple colors at once to keep things manageable

note that we have something equivalent to a lot charge which is paint cost.
