As many of you know, my wife and I have been going through a very tough time these past several weeks due to the passing of our son, David. I wanted to start off by saying that the outpouring of support that we have received from the model building community has been tremendous. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts - so many of you are like family to us!
Misc. Updates:
Due to the delays caused by recent events, I thought I should post a few updates...
Painted Bruce Kits
During the next several months, my number one priority will be to get caught up on all of the painted Bruce orders. If you have an order placed, you should have received an email today with an expected completion date. These dates are based on a very aggressive schedule, but I will do my best to get these completed on time - without rushing them.
Tusken Raider Bust
I just have a little bit of sculpting and prep work left to do on the Tusken bust before I can produce the master and start making molds. I hope to have him up for sale this week.
King Kong Armature
The Kong Armature kit should be available 1Q of 2025. I'm really hoping I can wrap it up by the end of January. It's hard to say due to the amount of paint-work that I have on my plate right now.
Retired Kits
I have decided to retire the following kits this year:
Boris Karloff bust (kit and painted versions)
Elsa tribute kit (I've just made 3 more available upon request- but that's gonna be it)
Tauntaun (Luke Version for now, but Han will be retiring very soon)
Look after yourself and your family first...thoughts and prayers to you and your family......much love.
Can't imagine your pain. Prayers to you and family.
Mike Orta
Im very sorry to hear about your son. My thoughts and condolences goes out to you!
Best regards and love.
