***Update to the update***

We will be resuming the Knights of July release over the next month or so.

Many patron rightly pointed out that it is unfair to simply cancel the remainder of the Knights of July releases simply because we have consistently run out of time.

We are still recovering from a bad run of setbacks, personal and professional, and will be getting back to normal with communication, engagement, and more importantly content!

We are incredibly grateful to all of you guys for being so patient with us. I’m not going to lie, it’s been a rough 2-3 months for us, and we are amazed at how kind everyone has been.

The good news though is that all of the chaos seems to have stabilized, so for now at least the perfect storm has passed.

Anyways, that’s it for the update to the update.

Thanks everybody for voicing your concerns and remaining patient with us over the last few months. I can promise you, it’s going to be worth it over the next 3 months!

I’m incredibly excited for the upcoming line up, and will be announcing the tentative plans for primary and secondary models soon!

Thanks

Ty

***Resume Standard Transmission***

Dark Fire Designs Update

We may have seemed quiet over the last month but we have been working like crazy on our end. So what have we been up to?

-Sickness. Our kids started school and so did the germs. Everyone at home came down with something. With 3 kids in school it was bound to happen!

-Projects. We have been working really hard to try and get a special game system in place for Halloween but sadly it won’t be ready until next year. We have also been helping the amazing Kathy Millat with a few models for her Kickstarter so make sure you check it out when it goes live!

-Patreon. We have been trying to get ahead in our Patreon releases for the next few months.

-Tech issues. One of our computers went out of commission and we have been trying to replace it.

We also know we have some questions to answer:

“Are you going to finish the rest of Jedi July?”

-Yes, although it will likely be one a week starting in October.

“When will the Painting Contest winner be announced?”

-We will be deciding the winner this week! We will also be sending out coupons to all who participated over email this week

“Will we be getting zombies this year?”

-Absolutely! It’s one of our favorite times of year! We love bringing you guys spooky models!

*****

Please enjoy this Trooper Tuesday and Secondary Models! We will have a preview for October soon!

SO glad to see the Lancers on bikes! Was waiting for those! The Spider Droid is really cool too! And that Imperial Veteran, perfection! If he has an option for a helmet then double perfection!

Jedi July was one of the releases o was looking mose forward to. I, for one, would rather you finish those models than some others.

gavin

So with all respect due, I feel like this is a very big mismanagement, are we going to be getting these models made for Kathy here as well? it just doesnt seem fair to cut out things that were promised but then focus on someone else's project

Rob

Sounds like Ty, Felicia and the kids have been busy! It happens. Glad to know your all still alive!

Dean Bush

Sad to see Jedi July not being finished. Was really looking forward to them.

Luis

Mounted lancer bots! Yes!!!

I second Gavin here. "We did not have time to complete Jedi July that our paid customers were promised and are patiently waiting for, but we did have time to complete multiple models for somebody else's Kickstarter" is a very bad way to treat your Patrons. Not to mention it's unfair to Black Remnant who completed his part despite all the issues he has to go through. Very disappointing.

Aaron Jones

Thank you for engaging with the commenters here on Patreon. We want to see you succeed. We're here because we love the things you create. Please don't let that fact be overshadowed by people jumping in to share their sincere thoughts and feelings about recent events. Keep sculpting, keep sharing, keep on knowing that we are here to support you!

Anyone suggesting y’all aren’t doing enough can rot. You all go above and beyond, month after month, for the paltry sum compared to a lot of other Patreon pages. Yes, I understand the Kickstarter stuff, but contracted work vs. patron work is a different beast entirely. Never ever ever feel like y’all are being unfair for putting your families and wellbeing before some silly models.

Andrew Croft

On the update to the update: I'd like to suggest Ty holds back on a model or two for business continuity reasons. That way (if and I hope not) things go astray you have a backup to throw out there. For example blown up imperial walker bits or smashed rubble ATST - assuming this is quick to do as you have a starting point. I will say I'm very satisfied with this Patreon regardless of what you decide to do. My only feedback is not to list what's coming in the months ahead as the surprise each month partly makes the Patreon more engaging.

Rory

Glad to hear things seem to be improving for you guys, hope things go well!

Luis

Let's cut them some slack. I have never felt that I've gotten less than my money's worth on any given month - and more often than not it's far more content than the mere $12 subscription fee, if you ask me.

EvilMadcat

Thx for your work all the time your models always great and for me was it okay i still in and is great to see any time new models

Luke

Any update about the TrenchBot Sniper & Rocketlauncher? They were already promised for last week as secondary releases. Realistic previews or teasers on Discord would be appreciated, already been pretty bummed out a few times by the communications about schedules.

Hmmmm

Any chance of a single stormtrooper in a seated position to fill up our empty ATATs?

Tom R

The spider droids alone make this month's release worth while!

Jay Fish

Maybe you could do jaina and jacen solo for some of the remaining Jedi, if you needed any ideas.
