Hi everyone,
I just wanted to provide an update regarding this ears run.
As mentioned from the start, there is no guarantee that Elstree Precision will be doing more than a limited run of 10-15 sets of ears. As mentioned by Andy [USER=4118]intwenothor[/USER] after his visit to Elstree - these ears are being machined mostly by hand on original equipment and are very time consuming to make (and likely not profitable).
We are still in the prototyping phase of what still may only be a very limited run of Elstree Precision metal ears (with sales going to those that have directly collaborated on the project and then the running interest list of members on The Dented Helmet) before being offered to anyone else externally.
John and I have emailed Rob at RS Props regarding the public mention of the ears project on their launch video and website advertisement and asked them to remove the mention for the time being - since nothing is guaranteed beyond this initial run for TDH as agreed to by John at Elstree. However, we do appreciate their sentiment and support.
More to come. At work and busy.
Thanks,
Steven
