If we reach the appropriate pledge goals you may be receiving some of the Sidekicks as part of the BOMB KIT pledge level for $75 at no additional cost. Now you can add an additional amount to your existing pledge to cover the cost of an extra set of awesome Sidekicks for your Babes! You may add them on at ANY pledge level in unlimited quantities. They are only available as an add-on as a complete set of five Sidekicks.

Momentum has been going strong! The Bombardier Backers have really been getting the word out and sharing what an awesome project they think this is. I also want to thank everyone who has helped many of our new backers feel welcome by answering questions and pointing out new rewards in the comments section and forums like this one. I have been busy working on sculpts throughout the project and it has been a huge benefit to have such a great support network!

TARGET ACQUIRED

More news in our Official Update here!

I totally agree about sculpts and concepts. One example of a poor correlation imo is anima tactics, fantastic artwork but their sculpts are very hit and miss and generally don't look much like the artwork. I'll be awaiting to see some sculpts first too, saying that i do like the concept artwork so far.

Here are a couple of things I've been working on.





Maelee and Betty are coming along nicely. Maelee has a few more details to add, but her gear and tools will likely be 3D printed and so won't be finished for a while. The wrench is just a placeholder for reference. Betty still needs the rest of her flight jacket, hair & cap as well as a few other details. This should give you a rough idea of how they are progressing.

Only 68 Hours to Go
Today has been the highest pledge day since September 16th! I have to hand it to the Bombardiers, you guys really got out there and beat the bushes to drum up the pledges. I also want to welcome and offer a sincere thanks to all of our new backers who are starting to jump on board as we count down the final hours of the Kickstarter project. We have restacked the graphics on the main project page. Hopefully the new Rewards Levels image will make pledging a little easier to understand.

Despite popular opinion I am actually sculpting on the Babes! I removed the larger head for Betty and will work up a replacement. I will also be beefing up her legs a bit for molding.

Nowada has been blocked out with the basic understructure and anatomy. Next she will be getting an initial layer of drapery and armor. I will also begin the weapon next.

Vivian has a glass bead in place of the helmet until that is built in ZBrush and printed. As work progresses on her I will post renders of the helmet. She has a rudimentary layer for the diving suit. More layers will be built up to fill out the bulk of the armored plating. I thickened her waist a bit to facilitate casting. Were it the proportions in the art it would be prone to snapping when pulled from the mold.

Really sweet sculpts
Sadly there's no scavvies -> not my cup of tea...
