WOW. Its been a long six months. This was the first project I have ever attempted at this scale. I am quite happy with the way the calendar turned out. My only dissapointment is how long it took. I started taking preorders back in July for the calendar and I am just now getting them out. I know a lot of people wanted these for Christmas, so I will be paying a little extra for 2-3 day shipping to make sure they arrive in time as much as I can. I apologize to those of you who have been waiting for a long time.
But I'm happy to say I am finally in the production stage. I have been busy today (and will continue to be throughout the weekend) printing as many calendars as possible to be ready to ship on Monday. Be looking for them!
In a sec, you will have links to screenshots of the main 12 calendar pages plus the table of contents. I will tell you theres several other pages including aerospace bonuses and design notes - but I didn't want to spoil all the fun! Before I show those, there's a few slight changes though that I need to make mention of:
The CD with the design stats was a freebie to be included with the purchase of the Calendar for $11.95. We will not be able to ship the stats with the calendar. Due to some of the text that *may* appear with some of the designs, I can't ship them within the context of the purchase of a calendar for copyright reasons. BUT, each of you who ordered the basic calendar package will receive a note from me both apologizing for the inconvenience, but also a URL that you can access that will let you download the designs in TDB, HMP and text file format for free. I hope this is enough.
For those who ordered the calendar with the CD of the hi-res images, you will still receive your CD but the design stats will *not* be included. You too will have a note with a URL giving you access to download the stats.
So, for those of you who have not yet ordered, below are the new, revised packages:
[color=orange]A.) 1 Calendar + access to download all HMP & TDB design stats : ($11.95)
B.) 1 Calendar hand-signed by the artist : ($20.95)*
C.) Option A + hi-resolution images of all units included on CD : ($14.95)
D.) Posters of each unit : ($7.50 ea.) ($75 if all 12 are purchased at once)*, **
E.) Posters of each unit hand-signed by the artist ($10.00 ea) ($100 if all 12 are purchased at once)**
* Requires some additional shipping charges
** Requires additional shipping charges if purchased with a calendar order
The calendar is 11" x 17" in size when unfolded. The calendar is spiral bound for easy flipping through the pages. Pages are 85lb Opus Gloss paper.
All items except for the ones with an asterisk cost $4.00 shipping to the Continental U.S. and a flat-rate of $6.00 anywhere else in the world. Payment may be received by check/money order or by PayPal. For check/money order, please email Andrew Kissel for a mailing address (email below). PayPal orders can be sent to odysseus@battletechuniverse.org. For more information, please contact Andrew Kissel (Odysseus):
