+fox-and-the-hound Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Good Morning everybody, After nearly one year in blueprint hell, 3 rejected best efforts, a few wrestling matches and 2 flat denials that it couldn't be done... IT'S HERE! The mints said no way, but we wouldn't give in or give up and we're mighty pleased at the results. The King finally has his Queen and we think she's quite a beauty. At 2 Inches Tall and a full 4mm thick this lovely lady is Trackable with a Unique Icon. A very heavy coin in hand, she'll be in good company with the King. The best part? Only $8! Take a look You can find her at the geocoinstore: http://www.geocoinstore.com/index.php?main...products_id=185 I'm proud to say Mackey Made It and I hope you enjoy her as much as we enjoyed creating her.

+fox-and-the-hound Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 outstandingly beautiful! will go order this one right now. Do you have any in other finishes you're trading for? I don't have any for trades yet. I'm hoping I will soon though I knew they'd be available very soon, but I was surprised by an email this morning to realize they'd been added to the store. Our major issue was getting the precise detail and the multiple levels in the metal (I believe there are 2 levels deep and 3 raised plus the base level for a total of 6. The fine detail was a real test for everyone to see if it could be successfully reproduced as sharp as I wanted. I think the Fates is the only other one to pull it off so many layers in detail this exacting. The pre-blueprints were built at almost twice my regular size and translating that detail added to the reproduction time. Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Saw this at the store last night and had to order one to keep the King company... the One Eyed Jack's been driving him crazy!! :lol Quote Link to comment

+fox-and-the-hound Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 And when will we see a "Jack of Caches"? Another Year to wait? Already have some sketches for "The Caching Ace", but I'm coming up empty on good wording for Jack. I'll have to keep brewing on it. Quote Link to comment

+fox-and-the-hound Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hey, wait! I wanna see the Joker! That one suits me best! Oddly enough, the Joker was the first one on the drawing board, but I'm still fighting with the image. Hopefully, it'll gel sooner rather than later though Quote Link to comment
