The Churchill inspired tank is really growing on me each time I look at it. Especially now I know it's only 3cm in size.

Two thirds of the way to Initial Funding Target. Simply amazing.

good. a lot of people won't contribute until that tipping point is hit. Now I'm starting to feel more confident.

A lot of people won't contribute until the bases are split so there should hopefully be a massive boost when that target's hit.

Or in the run-up to that target. Splitting off bases, a 20% increase in figures, those are tempting things to help towards, and everybody benefits!

Well done! How's the marketing going? Any new tricks to lure people in?

Once half the hobby funds on taccon come out of shock from the last couple of weeks it might sort itself out :D
(i appreciate that that is not a business strategy)

I could add a £5000 "Tell E&C to do anything" pledge.

That'd fund a couple of armies in one quick swoop!

The only problem is I might be asked to swim in lava, or steal candy from a baby.

I find this interesting, in order to reach the desired option of splitting the bases from the sprue you need contributers to reach the stretch goals. Without them this will not get far. :)

The bases are a Marmite point – people either don't give a fig, or really care about them being part of the sprue. I'll be happy when £2250 is reached so it's no longer an issue. :)

Any clever ideas for some more perks priced between the four packs and naming rights? Once (if) the metal bits become 'unlocked', it'd be good to encourage people to come in to a £75/$115 or £100/$152 perk. This might also encourage existing pledgers to up their donation from the £42 or £62 levels.

Precisely this. I will be pledging in about a week's time when payday comes around!

Likely to be the same. Need to work out how much disposable income come payday.

I'll be putting in some metal bitz pledges when the time is right, but I have to be careful as it costs £300-£400 to get a metal mould set up and producing, and I'd like as much money as possible to go toward the main plastic armies goal - it has to be things I can be sure will get a lot of action.
