On the Workbench

[starwarsgeek]

Working on this Mech... every time I think I'm done and I want to start painting, I find new crap to put on it... so it's not quite done yet, I don't think. Or maybe it is... I don't know...

 

[starwarsgeek]

Got a a Daina head from starwarsgeek via ebay should've read the description...thought it was cast in flesh, cause the picture...I don't like painting flesh!!! Fuuuuuu.....! Damn it! if I didn't know him as a F118 member I would totally bash his stars,just to do it! lolz. People do it to me for no reason!! Oh well..my fault. Gotta find one elsewhere,and actually read the description to make sure,or maybe ask first

Really? Give me your eBay username so I can block you and you won't have to worry about it going forward.

This is the problem with eBay's feedback system... buyer looks at pretty pictures but doesn't read description, buyer purchases item, buyer gets item but is annoyed because they didn't read description, buyer leaves negative feedback and low DSR scores even though BUYER was in the wrong.

^ OH SNAP!

:trollface:

 

[starwarsgeek]

I'm sorry... am I wrong for that??

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

^^^

NOPE.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

I more or less thought it was funny. You did kind of jump all over him, but he was also sort of asking for it. Casters tend to be a sensitive lot, for the most part. I dunno if it's the artist/perfectionist in them or just the collector or what, but I don't think he intended it as offensively as you took it.

I'd probably be slightly annoyed at it if I were the seller, but then again, I read descriptions before clicking shit on eBay.

Either way, it was funny that you finally responded to it.

 

[starwarsgeek]

It's got nothing to do with casting. It's just the stupidity of people that don't read descriptions and then get mad with what they get.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, reading and eBay auctions are apparently enemies.

But picture!

You know the saying. Pics or it didn't happen.

That's looking quite mad, I love it.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Got to think outside the box. Stroll the aisles and see what pops up.

Poor choice of words...:lmao:

Not to fan the flames, but you speak out against how Alyosha does business but you sound just like what you always complain about ;-)

 

[starwarsgeek]

How so? Do I take people's money and not deliver for a year or more, if at all? Do I ignore people when they inquire what happened to their orders? Do I treat everyone like they are beneath me? I'm nothing like Alyosha so please don't ever compare me to him again.

People that can't read a description but want to leave a negative for a seller is bullshit. I fulfilled every aspect of what my description states.

 

[Giga Bread]

Everyone of you guys need a PR/customer care line. Lol

[starwarsgeek]

So wait... am I on the right website? Am I reading this correctly that you guys think I'm wrong for being upset that someone would admit to not reading the description and being upset with what they purchased and that it's OK for him to leave bad feedback?

That's like me buying a shirt that clearly states that it is blue but leaving bad feedback when I get it because it's not red.

 

[Joerhyno]

He already gave you positive feedback. And that depends... did the seller of the sirt show a picture of a red one or a blue one...

I honestly think he was just giving you a hard time. My comparison was about how you're wanting to block him right away...i.e. what Aly does sometimes and people complain about.

I think you're over reacting a tad... juuuust a tad, if you were in all caps, it'd be serious business!!

 

[starwarsgeek]

If you were an eBay seller who depended on the income from your store to feed your family and pay your bills, I think you would "overreact" if someone decided that they should have left you bad ratings even though THEY were in the wrong. It may seem trivial but eBay bases my selling discounts on stupid factors like that, and one idiot giving me a bad rating for no reason is the difference between a $200 monthly bill and a $140 monthly bill. Which would you rather pay?

And again, the people who talk shit about giving Aly bad reviews do so because he earns those bad reviews. He blocks the people he screws over if they dare to complain about his business practices. I'm nothing like Aly. Nothing.

Am I perfect? No. But I'll own up to my mistakes when I make them.

I'm in total agreement with you, SWG. Absolute agreement.

Wow... looks like a bar of soap that's been used several times.

 

[K-Tiger]

I didn't sculpt the motherfucker. I'm a bit thankful there's a 1:18 C96 at all.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Oh, I know. And yes... lucky to have one at all.

In other news -

thump thump... thump thump...

 

[K-Tiger]

I ain't up on the new tactifag gear, but is that a GoPro?

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Heartbeat sensor, from MW. Just a cool little detail/feature to add to a weapon.

 

[K-Tiger]

Ah, got ya.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

From MW? Monkeywrench? Either way, cool little detail for sure...

 

[Slaymaker]

Modern Warfare...MW

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Ah... thanks!

 

[joesilver]

great figure Obi. and that heart beat is amazing, it will be another touchdow for sure!!!!

but i saw someone speaking on a GoPro cam. here is my take on that so far.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Looking good, Joe! Now put one on a helmet too!

 

[daremo]

Nice job, Joe!

I'm trying to test my sanity...

Half way there.

 

[HeelJoe]

Awesome work Daremo!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

 

[K-Tiger]

Nice job, Joe!

I'm trying to test my sanity...

Half way there.

Test it some more for me.

 

[daremo]

Closer...

Testing it some more, KT.

Just a crude start to test some ideas.

 

[K-Tiger]

You're gonna do spade grips for that 134, right?

 

[Videoviper]

Ok we have all seen the Black Manta customs made from the converted Happy Meal toy, however mine will be slightly different as I internd to keep the light up feature that makes it a great toy. I've sliced him up & have him fitting nicely on a ret Snake Eyes figure.

Next up will be some clean up, trying to keep his weapon, & building a backpack to hold the new battery compartment.

 

[fogger1138]

Can anyone think of a figure who had white legs and combat boots? I need white pants for a custom, but with boots rather than the RoC Storm Shadow-style lowers.
