Just a cheeky update for everyone, production is very much underway, we're still prototyping to perfect the model but it's still happening! Website, social media pages, official thread on here and more coming soon

This is so exciting! I had recently wondered how the project is going and suddenly, update!

Do you get to keep your prototypes?

Please ask! Fuel my obsession by giving me a reason to talk about it!

At the minute they're digital prototypes, but I assume there will be a physical sample made at some point potentially!

Omg!! I was very excited to see you posted in this thread in my notifs!! This is such an exciting project. For now I offer my 'verbal' support but im excited to support financially when we are able to as well. :happyhearts:
 
I still need to actually make a thread for G2 Re-Do lol BUT until I do here's some exciting news

I've been working back and forth carefully with the factory over the past months with digital protoyping to ensure the most perfect pony that ever will be - and I think we're finally just about there!!!

I'll be 3D printing the first look at an official prototype to test out rooting, hand painting eyes to make sure the eye sculpt is correct etc! So the first official looks at the real prototype will be coming soon!!!

That’s fantastic news! :Flutter4: They’re getting closer…! Maybe you’ll have one in time for Christmas? A present from you to you
 
Wouldn't that be amazing! Hopefully the actual production won't take too long, it's all the preparation stages, we're on version 5 of the digital prototype but I'd rather it be that way and perfect than rush it!
 
As promised, here’s a first look! This was 3D printed by me, using the must up to date digital prototype STL! We’re getting really close to perfect now - as said this is version 5 of the digital sculpt as I’ve been very thorough with the company, stuff like making sure the tail hole is correctly placed to the MM, the polygon count is high enough etc

So I think the main sculpt is finally perfect! The actual head, details, shapes look SO good

This is hand painted and I don’t have very good brushes, obviously factory printed eyes will look a million times better. Similarly the weirdness around the nose is from the printer.

The rooting holes were a little too close together and the head split when I was rooting, which is why I only did a little then stopped (I had to glue her back together lol). The fact this is 3D printed in rubber resin and is quite thin definitely contributed to this - the real ones will be cast in PVC which is more durable but I think for safety the rooting holes need to be larger and further apart. The holes for the eye gems need to be a little deeper too.

Other than that we‘re really close to greenlighting production I think!

That looks so good!! And I’m glad you are looking at important details like rooting holes and eye gem holes.
