YES! The webstore is now officially online and ready to accept orders! :D Make sure to choose the correct shipping option when ordering a kit or small scale model. Current waiting time until delivery due to backlog: approx. 4 weeks. Thanks you! https://t.co/HvSrzRi0vN

@ZumaPayload @brandanjsinger give me around 2-3 weeks to print and manufacture the new model files. The workshop is also currently being restructured through christmas to support the new/quicker manufacturing

sorry for not posting for a while. I am very busy with building, answering messages (quite a lot) in the evening and trying to find a way to overcome the small packages shipping restrictions (will bulk ship as many as possible to the US and have them forward them from there).

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@ZumaPayload @brandanjsinger no its not a scam. I was struggling with some medical issues and just about to finish an announcement. Lots of changes to get this all done within next year. I had to make some radical changes

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@EspenUrkedal yes I am very sorry 😟 communication has been an issue with the not working email. its working again now but I am faced with a ton a mails incl. spam. it takes forever to sort it all out 😖

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@EspenUrkedal no its all good. I am just working in beast mode atm 😂🙈

@RRobertGI its hard to make exact predictions as some models get done faster, some needed redesign/rework, kits get done faster than finished models so order time is not a sole indicator. its really hard. So every item has its own queue so to say.

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@RRobertGI lol yes. printed that one on the weekend just for fun

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@BuffWorker7 thats the way SLA needs to be printed. To get a smooth bottom surface

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@ShuttleAlmanac on the bright side: no more broken models after shipping, models get done a lot faster now due to build process optimisation so the queue gets worked off steadily. As of now I am working towards fixing the shipping restrictions for small packages. Will bulk ship to the US and fwd

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@ShuttleAlmanac I am very much behind with my backlog and kind of got overwhelmed with orders and messages/questions for the past year, so I have a hard time keeping up, especially social media has fallen back a bit here.

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@ShuttleAlmanac I am here! 😊 I am just a bit busy working off all the messages. Also, I spend most of the day in my workshop, making models 😀

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@appletimtri No problem! The model however is not 100% accurate because I did not have any blueprints. But maybe 98%. As an experiment you can try to photograph a car model and try to overlay that 1:1 to a pic of the real car. You will then see what I am describing 😉

NASA Astronaut Garrett Reisman @astro_g_dogg using my 1/36 scale Crew Dragon model to demonstrate some procedures on CBS News special report, nationwide broadcast. Very very happy to see it put to good use! 😍😍😍

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@ShuttleAlmanac @astro_g_dogg oh damn, forgot it. Will repost

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@ShuttleAlmanac @Cosmic_Carol actually the solar panels and a few other things are inaccurate on that model 😊and the nosecone does not open. But its still very cool to see they use a model here

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@mikegingerbeard nope not mine 🙂 mine are in Houston

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

With the launch being this week already I decided to post some pics of the finished 1/36 Crew Dragon models I've made for NASA and CBS News. They were just shipped this weekend (expedited) and fingers crossed they arrive in time! :)

[Oli Braun @oli_braun]

@ShuttleAlmanac @Cosmic_Carol this particular is not mine btw. 😉

@AbandonInPlace @AstroJaZmine here is an old video on how I explain how I do my stuff 🙂 https://t.co/pvUcEb0sFy
