Dream Pod 9: Kickstarter Update
Dream Pod 9, Inc. präsentieren neue Kickstarter Updates auf Facebook.
Kickstarter Update: Peace River Jackal Two Pack Add-On 3d Printed Parts Preview!
We are now into 2nd week of the Peace River & NuCoal Core Plastic Miniatures Kickstarter with just over $31.5K CAD Pledged and the first 2 stretch goals unlocked. The next stretch goal unlocks at $32.5K to add 1 more Warrior VI plastic miniature to the Peace River Army and Badlands Commander reward levels and their Hero of version.
For this update we’re spotlighting another of our Peace River Add-Ons for an extra pledge and that are included in the Hero of Peace River and Hero of the Badlands Reward Levels. The Jackal Two pack are new pewter miniatures for Peace River, being first release thru this Kickstarter. Checkout the image attached with different views of the 3d model and photo of the printed parts, made using a Formlabs 3d printer. The parts still need some cleaning to remove nubs where they were attached to the part spruing. Once the parts are cleaned up silicone molds will be made and special high temperature resistant resin parts will be cast. Those parts will then be used to make the vulcanized rubber molds for pewter casting.
The Peace River Jackal Two Pack is being offered first to our Kickstarter Backers, after all the Backer Reward Packages have been shipped then it will be made available on the DP9 Online Store, and via our retailers for order.

Kickstarter Update: Peace River Black Wind VTOL Silicone Molds and First Resin Miniature Preview!
Today we have a follow up on the Peace River Black Wind Steath VTOL which we showed the 3d model and 3d printed parts in a previous update. Alain Gadbois over at Fusion Models had time earlier this week to finish up the first set of silicone molds and cast-up a first set of resin parts. Alain has over 30 years experience of mold making, casting resin, and is a highly skilled sculptor and model maker. He was Dream Pod 9’s first miniature/model sculptor when Dream Pod 9 first started and is also responsible for the full size Gear made to promote the original Heavy Gear Computer Game by Activision. The Black Wind resin mini is 114mm long by 99mm wide and is included in the Hero of Peace River Army Commander and Hero of the Badlands Commander reward levels and as an Add-On for an extra pledge.
Check out the attached photos of the silicone molds, first resin parts cast, and assemble resin miniature below. Also took photo of the Black Wind with a Dragonfly Hopper and some of the older Peace River pewter miniatures to show how big it is.
Alain’s next project is the Peace River Uhlan Strider that he’ll start work on next week, cleaning up all the parts and then making the silicone molds. Once he gets those finished up and a first set of resin parts cast-up we’ll get photos taken and make another update to show you all how it turns out.

Spiel und Firma sind wie ein Geister-u-boot das immer mal wieder auf dem sogar auftaucht und dann wieder verschwindet…
Ich hab allein fuer dieses Jahr 20 News ueber DP9 gepostet.
Das wirkt also vielelicht eher nur so weil nicht immer alles auf dem BK landet.
Kann ich verstehen.
Es gibt da aber schon eine ziemlich eingeschworene Fan-Base und DP9 versucht mit den Kickstarter auch die Fan-Base zu vergrößern. Recht gelingen mag es aber nicht. Zumindest sehe ich das noch nicht.
Habe gerade die ersten Plastik-Modelle aus den ersten Kickstarter zusammengebaut und sehe ausser im Material keine größen Unterschied zu den früheren Modellen. Designtechnisch finde ich zum Teil die alten Metallmodelle besser. Preislich sind die Starter aber nun viel günstiger als früher. Finde gerade das 2-Spieler-Starterset richtig gut zum kennenlernen:

Früher lag es an den Preisen der Sachen, speziell nach Import. Heute liegt es daran, das sie seit 2006 an den Blitz-Regeln herumpfriemeln und nichts gebacken kriegen. Klingt komisch, ist aber so. 😉
