An update on Grey Aztecs, McCoy Keys, MK1 Banana Blasters and more!
Introduction
Hello Everyone and welcome to the weekly newsletter!
It's been a busy week as some of the team prepares for a professional prop gig in London this weekend.
We have also been working hard on getting orders completed and out!
Grey Aztecs
Kas has been working extremely hard the past few weeks focusing on getting the last of the original run, Grey Aztec orders finished. This week he finished off the Series 3 orders. These are currently packed up and ready to head out.
Next week he will be fitting the last of the series 1-2 orders, and packing them up as well. The long wait is nearly over.
McCoy Keys
Josh H has been working on a batch of McCoy Keys, they are all painted and just receiving their weathering passes, before being sent out!
MK1 Banana Blasters
Work continues on the MK1 Banana blasters, the sanding and priming portion of the work is completed on the barrels. The rest of the pieces are currently being printed and will be worked on next week.
Resin Stunt MK1s
More work on the MK1 orders, as the bulk of the assembly is completed. The head sections are in various stages of painting and will be assembled late next week!
Big Finish Stage Show: The Stuff of Legend
Some of the team are traveling into London to assist with the Big Finish Stage Show this weekend, hopefully we’ll see some of you there!
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of licensed Doctor Who audio dramas, Big Finish Theatre, in partnership with BBC Studios, Fourth Wall Live and AEG, is proud to announce a unique full-cast live recording event, taking place at Cadogan Hall, London on Saturday 14 September and Sunday 15 September 2024.
For the very first time, Doctor Who fans will be able to watch an all-star cast take to the stage to perform a brand-new audio play, The Stuff of Legend, by Robert Valentine.
Leading the cast is Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and India Fisher as his indomitable companion Charley Pollard. They’ll be joined onstage by Alex Macqueen as the Master alongside Nicholas Briggs, who voices the Doctor’s unstoppable arch-enemy, the Daleks.
A few of our props are due to be used by the production across the weekend, and we have also made a brand new prop, specially for this live event. We will be posting about that soon!
Burnt Out Tools
Josh H has been finishing up the Burnt Out tool, Collectors edition orders, they are all finished aside from the vinyl decals for the tins. Those will arrive early next week, and then the remaining orders will ship!
Grandad Tools
We made the decision to reprint all the Grandad tools. This is because we have decided to use Tough Resin. This will add more durability to the props and quality of the props.
We will be painting these up next week and fitting them shortly after!
