Depending on where in the world your located, it shouldnt be long

Please do post some pics of them when you paint them!

And just because i'm ultra excited.... http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2012/...-crusader.html!

I wasn't able to post those pics here as BoLS had the exclusive but now, go read what they had to say on the TSSCHA sets!

**Charax** · 15-04-2012, 06:01

That was utterly, utterly pointless. They literally just described the set and showed a couple of pics. No impressions or review, just "Hey, remember these? They're a thing! Exclusive ftw!"

Exactly the kind of vapid nonsense I come to expect from BOLS, and a complete waste of an exclusive

I still felt special they did that. Especially since I keep getting bashed and told my work sucks on most forums. Heck, look at the comments on that article. People keep complaining about power armor marines and dont even realize they arent power armor.

Any chance of a parts breakdown? There look to be two styles of leg there; will the sets of five be a random selection of these, or are there more (unseen) variants?

Pics today of all 5 torsos and 5 legs laid out with a wash to show detail.

There are 5 posed legs with various small details changes and 5 torsos, again, with detail changes. Nothing huge as they all still look good together but enough variations to do conversions with them.

**TSS** · 17-04-2012, 09:05

Washed with brown ink over no undercoat, but it shows the details on the 5 torso variations.

On a side note, the demand for these has been high and the molds are nearing the end of their life. I realistically see them only making a few more sets. There are no plans to remake the molds.

*The demand for these has been high and with that, the molds are nearing the end of their life. I realistically see them only making a few more sets. There are no plans to remake the molds.*

I just got in the first pictures of a painted upgrade set. It was painted by one of the first customers and I'm happy he chose to share it with me. It is using other companies arms and head, as its designed but is using the TSS torso, legs and shoulder pads. He said it was for his pre-heresy Iron Warriors army.

Now lets see everyone elses! Id really like to set up a gallery of various peoples uses for the set.

Back to work on the TS7-A robot!

**Charax** · 18-04-2012, 17:23

you'll see mine when they arrive!

Shame you don't plan on remaking them. don't suppose I could buy the masters off you?

I cant wait to see what you do with yours Charax!

I may be up for an offer like that. We can discuss it more once these molds are done (and you have seen the actual product in your hand), sound fair?

NEWS BLAST!

I just got in this additional picture showing him with some models for scale. Please keep in mind those models are in full motion poses thus lowering the height as well as being on blank bases, even lowering the height further. Maybe not the best picture for scale but it should help.

**TSS** · 20-04-2012, 10:49

Only 9 more sets remaining before the molds lives are done.

**Ironpit** · 20-04-2012, 11:14

i ordered mine 2 hours ago

Got your PM here and its not a problem at all to change your shipping address.

Your lucky to, down to the final handful of sets left with this mold.

**TSS** · 22-04-2012, 10:56

Down to 6 full sets that are already cast up. The molds might be able to make a few more but I wouldn't put all my hopes in them being flawless casts as the molds are nearing the end. Taking pictures now of the actual upgrade kit laid out before shipping.

**Charax** · 23-04-2012, 10:09

the wait for mine is agonising!

miscasts aren't all that bad, some of us are Nurgle players!

Thats why ive been tossing in minor miscasts as freebies! Especially if people mention Papa Nurgle!

Here is a bit of something to hold you over as your upgrades traverse Royal Mail Customs:

Ive been meaning to take this picture and post it for awhile now but the demand has been so high, all my time has gone into casting and my actual day job.

Without further adu, I preset the True Scale Heavy Armor upgrade kit as it looks when shipping.

(no flash)

(with flash)

Tomorrow ill post picture of the shoulder pads but since they can be seen below, painted by a customer, it seemed redundant.

In total there are less then 8 full kits and a hand full of partial kits such as just the legs and torso. If you want a chance at these, now is the time to act before they are OOP for good. They can be found in the TSS store, here.

**Charax** · 02-05-2012, 11:15

anyone in the UK got theirs yet? we're coming on 4 weeks from when they started shipping & I'm kinda nervous

**Apologist** · 02-05-2012, 13:07

Nope, not yet.

**Charax** · 02-05-2012, 13:22

that's strangely comforting! at least I'm not the only one

**TSS** · 03-05-2012, 00:39

Guys....

I update the website all the time. The demand was huge. I mentioned it early on. I mentioned things can take 7-10 days until they are cast from the time they are ordered.

I then updated saying how I underestimated demand and as such had to order a ton more resin. I only got the new resin in on saturday.

All this can be seen, and regular updates viewed at the website. www.threestagestudios.com

I also ask if anyone is wondering about their order in que, email me, which is right there on the website as well as listed on the webstore under contact.

I got more orders then you guys can imagine in a VERY short time. I also work 5 days a week, 8-5. I cast as fast as I can
