FYI, there was no CRL change.  It would have been announced here.  Basically Chef's tank topper was a casualty of the Biker Scout arms race.  As the armors have gotten better and more accurate over time, what was good for L2 10 years ago doesn't always hold up today.  His tank topper is fine for L1.

Ahhh that would explain it. Cheers Boss.

I've never had Chef not deliver so if he says he's insanely busy you can trust that. He'll come through for you.

still waiting on the build slot.

 

It's a little bit annoying but, if its this busy then all it doers is demonstrate just how good chefs kit is 

 

It'll be worth the wait

It's worth it. Keep it up and make sure you're taking breaks and getting a breath. It'll happen before you know it!

As someone who owns his kit and knows Chef personally he will come through. 

I’m not doubting Rob so sorry if it seemed that way. Don’t doubt it will be worth it just want it in my grubby paws

I’m doubting myself lol 

Found out I very probably have ASD so sometimes struggle with waiting for stuff. 
 

Looking forward to being the chubbiest scout in the empire lol

Luckily I’ve had some MHA issues recently and it also turns out I’m probably on the ASD spectrum.   
 

An update would be nice to help me calm down.  
 

I know it’ll get sorted and I know it will be worth it 

Then it’s just the terror of putting pics of the empires chubbiest scout trooper in here 

 

😂

Update from Chef on FB

 

Just a quick note to everyone, we will be postponing orders on  building of fully built Scouts/Commando's and Helmets for the foreseeable future.

We're well behind on orders and they are the most time consuming item we do.
So in order to help us get to the front of the queue and get back on a more even keel we'll be stopping them for the moment.

Anyone who has ALREADY ordered one, Your order will still be completed, so don't panic.
We just won't be taking new orders until we've cleared the backlog.

Kits and everything else are not affected.

Being busy is good, supposedly...

Thanks
R.”

 

 

just had message back that mine is getting started now and should have it in a couple of weeks all being well
