    Believe they were supposed to ship out Friday. We'll probably be contacting everyone who ordered this week with more information.

    ~90 pounds of wood just showed up at my door step. The great QC check has begun. Nick is incurring many a union grievance from the stack melters union in his furious 3d printing schedule.


    the stern sponson is planned in here, as while we call it a Deutschland, it started as a request to kit a Schleswig-Holstein. I have a hard enough time just spelling the first one, and Deutschland is more well known, so we went with the class name.

    The wood parts look good. The holdup right now is the 3d printing union and its absurd overtime rules. Somehow Nick is allowed to sleep , I don't know how that got into the contract.

    Nick should have a better idea on completion ETA of plastic widgets soon.

    You'll have better quality control if he's allowed to sleep, IMHO. :)

    Still short quantity on a few items and no casemates or sponsons in the pile... Most small parts are still in bags and not piled into the table.

    7 empty 1kg spools and a partly used 3kg spool sitting here right now. But not all that was used on this and not every print made it into the pile. There were various iterations of test prints, prints that had to be tossed for various reasons, etc.
