Hey, guys. I hope you're all having a fun and safe holiday season. With all of the sorrow surrounding the Star Wars community regarding the death of Carrie Fisher and her mother, I thought it was time for some positivity. I got quite a boost today when both my Jetpack Harness AND my goodies from Evo Props arrived in today's mail. Everything arrived safely, and looks great! I wasted no time tearing the boxes open and getting to work earlier. I told you all that I'd post the total turnaround time of my transaction with Gabe at Evolution Props, since he's in Argentina, so here's what I came up with: I ordered and paid on November 21st. The items shipped on December 16th (some of which had a 10-day lead time once ordered, because they're made to order). So, the WHOLE transaction took a little over a month, but the actual ship time from Buenos Aires to the US (East Coast) was about two weeks. I'm pretty happy with that! I don't know why, but I expected things to take much longer. So anyway, I just received most of the last crucial items I needed to finish my build. The only thing(s) I'm waiting on is my weapons package from Stormrider, but I still have some final-touch painting / weathering to do in the meantime, so it's all good. It feels good to be one step closer to those submission photos! I know I've been promising progress photos for a while, and I'll definitely have some soon.
