First FULL Building Unlocked!

Alright! A bit late on the update here but, well, we did it!!! We have already reached the $30CAD Stretch Goal for the very first FULL exterior building of what will be an epic model full of personality and character.  A realistically detailed medieval fantasy Watermill!  I am just as excited as I'm sure all of you are for this building. This is going to be exquisitely modeled and sculpted full of rich detail with that quintessential, medieval fantasy character that just draws you right in and has you falling in love upon first sight.

Not only did we reach this HUGE milestone in the Kickstarter, but I've added even more Stretch Goals!!   This is getting SERIOUS!  The dream has always been to eventually design and create entire buildings in an aesthetic that I love, which I did not think I could do until Kickstarter #2!  So, SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!!!  Lets get these Stretch Goals met!   This has gone beyond the halfling homes now and can be used for so much more in addition to our lovable halfling village.  They will make a great addition to the Hillside Hamlet of Hillcrest, but they can also be of great use in any other medieval fantasy setting such as towns, villages and cities!   How far can we take the stretch goals?  What would $100,000 bring us?  Can that dream become reality and the range of buildings continue to expand well beyond the initial scope of this project?  Lets push this as far as we can!!!

For now, I'm sooooooo excited to share with you the next set of Stretch Goals!  These are going to make for some amazing pieces of terrain and with the funding from the Kickstarter, I will be able to hire a professional artist(s)  to help get these completed as quickly as possible, without any compromise on detail, and onto your printing beds!  LETS GO!!!

New Merchant Tier Added!

One Day Later!

WOW!!!!

Well, I was NOT expecting to get fully funded this quickly which happened in less than ONE HOUR after going live! We've reached not one, not two, but THREE Stretch Goals(!) already after only one day of the campaign!

Thank you all for making this project a success and for choosing to back the project!  I've worked so hard on this over the past year and to see it come to this is beyond my expectations.  Just even producing a Kickstarter is something I had never foreseen for myself.  The first hour after anxiously pressing that launch button was incredible and had put all my worries and nerves to rest which was amazing.  

Now we have the exciting task of spreading the word and reaching as many more of those stretch goals as we can!   This is the fun part!  I am so excited that the next stretch goal is a FULL entire building!!  I get to design and build something totally unique using all the same sculpting techniques used in the Halfling Homes and Scatter terrain.  I can't wait to get to that as I'm confident I can create something that I'd personally be proud to showcase on my table and confident the rest of you will be too.  :)  I'll be separating it all into pieces so you don't have to worry about it not fitting onto your printer bed.  It'll be made to fit the smaller resin printers, not to mention FDM as well, just the same as all other models in the Kickstarter.

Beyond that there are so many directions we can go as far as stretch goals and I'm interested to hear what all of you would like to see with those moving forward!  Leave a comment if you want to share what you'd like to see as a future Stretch Goal!

Remember to share the Kickstarter in as many places as you can such as forums, Facebook groups, Discord groups, Instagram, Twitter and any other communities you're a part of.  All of that helps us to reach these Stretch Goals!

I'll leave you all with a WIP sneak peak at something to help get you excited for this next goal!
