Hi Friends!
It appears the dust hasn't settled yet :O I have been asked about how to specify rewards, late pledging and adding funds for add-ons, so I wanted to send out a quick update on the process and its progress.
BackerKit, Late Pledges and Adding Funds
I am currently finalizing all of the details on the survey in BackerKit for everything added as the campaign grew (colors, stretch goals, weights, prices, managing shipping details, etc.).
As soon as that is done, BackerKit needs to approve it. Once approved, invitations to the survey will be sent out to all current backers. In BackerKit you will be able to select the colors for each part of the Hobby Holders you pledged for. You will also be able to specify what add-ons you would like and add more funds if you would like to buy additional add-ons.
There will be a link at the top of the project page for late pledging as soon as the surveys have gone out. This will stay open for the duration of the survey period.
If you have any other questions or need clarification, please let me know. :D
Thanks so much for the continuing support!

YOU MADE IT HAPPEN!
I cannot express my gratitude to you all enough for believing in me and The Hobby Holder. Thank you so much for all of the support; every day I was blown away by the amazing response to The Hobby Holder.
I also want to thank my wonderful wife Ali for listening to me go on about The Hobby Holder for so long now and encouraging and supporting me through this crazy process. Thanks to my friends and family for lending me an ear, a kind word and a hand (I will be needing more hands when fulfillment comes around just FYI), and thanks to Evan at Proto Labs for working closely with me on making sure the Hobby Holders that make it to your hands will be the best quality they can be.
For now, I am working on finalizing the surveys in BackerKit and getting those approved. Once it is ready you will receive a notification to go in and pick colors, add-ons and additions. The injection molds are already in production, and we should be seeing samples in less than two weeks :D I am working on a more detailed What's Next update and there are some messages I need to take care of. If anyone has any questions just let me know!
Thank you so much for your amazing support!

P.S. The champagne will have to wait as it is the middle of the morning and I am at work >.<

Friends, the final few hours are upon us! What do you think 17 or 18 painting videos? ;)
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank everyone—from those of you who have been here since the beginning to those that are still joining in on the fun—for helping bring The Hobby Holder to life! This is just the first part of our adventure together and I am so excited to get The Hobby Holder into your hands in the next few months. :D
I hope everyone had a great day and maybe even got some free candy! I have been up and running for almost three days straight at this point, so I wish you a good night friends. I will talk to you all on the other side (although, I probably won't be able to sleep, so maybe we will talk sooner if you need me haha)!
Thank you from all of us!

Final Stretch Goal - Now to the End of the Campaign!
Before this campaign I had never filmed myself painting before, and I really enjoyed the experience. For every $1k pledged after $70k I will produce another painting video to be released later on Youtube! I am compiling a list of minis I have unpainted right now (including KD:M) and will share that and get votes. If there are ones I don't have (that are easy enough to find) that you would like to see painted, let me know! These will all be uploaded in two speeds for your viewing pleasure :D
For the first one I am going to choose for us. Krumpus (Reaper) I choose you!

Painting the Lucky Emissary on The Hobby Holder
You voted. I painted. Here is Malifaux 2e's Lucky Emissary by Wyrd with a custom cobblestone base being painted! This was actually one of the more difficult minis I have done in a while. Pretty much every part had to be painted before being assembled. That said, it was actually a pretty good example of the quickness and versatility of The Hobby Holder. Enjoy!
There isn't really anything interesting on the other side, but it is painted :P
Thank you all so much for your continued support! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend :)
