Latest Updates from Our Project:

Update #7: Last Two days 3-d Lapel Pins unlocked + End of campaign info!
about 5 years ago – Fri, Apr 19, 2019 at 09:46:13 PM

Hello Everyone!

We have only two days left so that means the 3-d lapel pins will now be available for purchase as add-ons for the campaign!


Each 3-d pin is approximately 1.5in x1.5

Add a 3-d Pin to any reward for only $10 or $17 for both! You will be able to specify your selection after the campaign ends.

Just as a reminder, below is the current add-ons list you can purchase:

After the campaign ends:

1. It will take Kickstarter approximately 14 days to process backers funds. Make sure your payment information is correct and up to date otherwise your pledge will be dropped by kickstarter. If that happens, you will not be counted among those who will receive their decks.

2. After that process, I will send out the Backerkit (pledge manager) survey via your kickstarter email to everyone of you who successfully got processed.

In case you haven't used Backerkit before, it is a web service that makes sure you input your pledges and add-ons correctly and properly. You will also be able to pledge for additional add-ons via Backerkit.

3. After I send out the Backerkit Survey, you will have 14 DAYS to fill out the survey and make sure everything is correct on your end.

If you have any questions email me at kickstarter [at] steveminty.com or message me personally on kickstarter.

We only have a few hours left so please share! I will be sincerely appreciative!

Til Next Time!

Signature Edition Prototypes
about 5 years ago – Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 11:12:28 PM

Hello Everyone! 

We've made it past 200% of our original funding goal! To celebrate, I wanted to show you a prototype of the Signature Editions. Keep in mind they are really rough and I mean REALLY rough. I was working on them to get a feel of how they'd look in real space, to see if my engineering needed tweaking and I decided the fastest way was to 3-d print them. Typically I wouldn't even bother showing you guys but I thought hey, you guys might appreciate the process. I normally do these with all of my special decks and projects to make sure there are fewer hiccups along the way before the final is complete.

 The tucks themselves are an original engineering creation of mine and the front features magnetic clasp that will allow the tuck to stay shut. 

The 3d sculpting aspect of the metal pieces themselves still need some tweaking but everything will look amazing when completed!

As for the campaign itself, there's only about 3 days left so stay tuned to see what else I have in store!
