Hi hello hello! The Workshop is back from Meet the Real Medic’ Duties at a 100%: this post acts as a quick catch-up and list of changes under operation so anyone’s reaching out and seeing our crafts gets the second part of the year happening at our workshop understood! Also yes, Arkan here!
TLDR: Prices lowered in January, new ways to make things and generally going to be way more personal from now on with friends and partners!
Meet the Real Medic getting closure!
After 2 years of having this project on the back and front of our minds, Kao’s and I can safely say we are “done” with the project as a “Live” Production: it’s off to Post Production to do its magic! We are still to make hundreds of hearts and petri dishes but compared to all that was at hands this is not interfering with the “closure” we feel!
A lot could have been done differently or manifested, but as any crafts we’ll see where this one will go! We stand proud of what we’ve been able to achieve and what a step up it represents from where it all began (my student bedroom, namely)!
You will see a lot of props, apparels and machines we made from it pop in the Shop as well as Stock Weapons and (personal) favorites we ought to make since forever having workbenches full! We’re expanding the catalogue again, give me time to run through footage first!
Prices lowered since January 1st, 2026!
This is a roll we made under the radar and meant to update at some point throughout MTRM crafting time: not enough attention got dedicated to writing a blog post then with everything on our plate so this will do! Quality stays the same (and improving, as always) and some materials come now cheaper in bulks so we prefer to have our crafts affordable in their own ways rather than overfilling our chest! Not mass producing anything yet!
This doesn’t really apply to specialised or particular builds but we keep it on the back of our mind juuuuust in case it might! Bundles' logic still applies the same, and friendly reminder that we are never running sale events!
Overall you can check for most items at an estimate of a 20-30% decrease in the price from what they used to be: that’s it, happy we can make it happen and talk about it!
For people that bought at higher price: materials bought and used then still are expensive when I look at what's logged in my accounting bookkeeping unfortunately. :c <3
What we currently are doing at the Workshop!
Catching up on wayyyy overdue crafts we set on pause to make sure Meet the Real Medic was happening and our skills got to where we wanted after it so we don’t have such a huge spike in quality from a V1 to a V2 (cough cough clear elements). I am currently in the process of setting schedules right and batches lists plus whatever spreadsheet fun you can imagine to make the workshop run smoothly! It is with displeasure that we are behind initial ETA again and we’re bettering on it: these things, they take time (or so someone said) and we believe we’re making the wait worth it! More about the reason of being behind bellow.
For now, while crafting on business day: I am about to roll out individual emails to state everything we’ve made to show progress (lot of design updates and intricacies to share while manifested physical too)! Any ongoing orders can expect me reaching out throughout next week!
Collaboration(s)!
In the past we’ve always been cautious about keeping isolated more than necessary to show only our crafts and the slightest bit of ourselves while showing no particular affiliations, it’s its own history as to why, but we’re trying to push ourselves more out to the World with friends and partners we find fun to make things alongside and for!
Expect to see our Workshop (soon to be changed) Name a bit more around from what we plan, is all!
Also I swear to Gods we’ll have our Social Medias active again, MTRM NDA cut off a full year of work: we’re posting back again in a few gimme a minute!
Catching a breather and some more!
We are instating more ways for ourselves to breathe and just get a break in general, I believe we mentioned the usual holidays and family seeing times, but without going into too much detail about my Health I need more regular stops than regular people now! Same old, taking care and putting ourselves first is what it boils down to! Having been hospitalised on the first day of shooting in France of Meet the Real Medic (not Crew related!) had me prioritize a LOT of things in the lull of recovery! For now though? CRAFTING TIME!
A New Era! Kind of..!
I have to state that all custom builds, requests and crafts have been highly motivating to keep forward and be refreshened as a whole! There has been a time recently were we might had entirely put a stop to our current craftship because of rotten apples moment and Health, but friends and the time we spend with them makes it worth the dedication!
So far from our Productions’ List I’m seeing a lot of Guns, Full Costumes and Items with more electronics written all over it... Who knows what’s up next really for our Workshop, truly a mystery!
I’m willing to commence my metalsmithing and casting journey this year and learn something new in that area, so probably a bit more real metal things coming out later this year too, though no promises!
We’re going to be bolder in our showcases too, not going to explain now nor how but we’re training for something cool..! As a story teller in my own time for friends I’m hoping to get where I want on all skills for a full in-house Thing when I’ll get a good draft done!
We might as well uploading on YouTube some builds of specifics bits on personal collections you won’t be able to grab on the Storefront: no idea what this next format will look like but I’m trusting my guts to make it entertaining and showing what we’re capable of outside of our regular orders!
Also reworking on our Logo and "branding" in general we’re going back to the Initial’ Roots 200% and the Website might change a bit again! Nothing to worry about on your side just enjoy the new pretty when they happen!
And that’s a Wrap!
Nothing more to add! Summer is looking promising and we’re crafting dedicated as always! Look out for imminent Medic and Heavy items in the Shop and thank you for your interest in our Crafts!
-Arkan (and Kao’s, who is somehow still on helmets' duties as I’m typing this!)
also there is a clear lack of pictures to look at this is just a general update!
