Well if he can't get shit done then the odds of your order getting caught on fire in the PO truck increase.

Heck yes it does!...it's got way more detail than the one I have...
Jesse, do you have the turtleneck collar from the Steel Brigade figure up for casting?...I dont see it in your store...I need like 10-12 of them (preferably some shade of OD green
)
that sounds like a solid plan as you want to sell your stuff and make your site grow then you can go back and do commissions or if its slow witch i doubt as from the reviews here you do awsome work and i cant wait to get my first order.
Whoa whoa whoa, Eddie. Mom said we had to stop asking Dad about this stuff, okay?!
Please, he won't stop talking about them!Jesse, do you have the turtleneck collar from the Steel Brigade figure up for casting?...I dont see it in your store...I need like 10-12 of them (preferably some shade of OD green
I've never ordered from you Jesse (yet). What's the typical turn around time for a basic order? Just curious, as I've been trained over the years that orders from other long time casters take many moons.

ASCOTS FOR ALL
Awe but I want the vintage ones made to fit 25th. I don't like the 25th's sculpt.
I may actually get a Darklon head... The one from the Club is missing all the green paint on the head, and I can't bring myself to paint a $75 figure.
Got one of TJ's Zombie heads painted up. Figured I would show it here. I'll post the others as i finish painting them. Looks like i got to do a little eye touchup.
Damn, I'll need to order that head. I've already got a need for a second order from TJ and a new one from Raginspoon. I'm going to wait till my package arrives from my big order. Jesse, I see that one package is moving on USPS's site, so it should be here by Monday.
After I go through to see what I'm lacking for my customs, I'll probably make another order. Hopefully you'll keep making those damn Dusty helmets, I could probably use a dozen or more of the things alone.

Just got my first order in from Jesse (my "second" one already arrived weeks ago, but it was a smaller order). I just posted feedback in his thread, so check that out if you are curious. Parts were great, everything was in the order except for one small item. I'll be placing another order soon, mostly for more of the same items that I've already gotten, plus some of his zombie head casts.
One word of caution to any really anal-retentive customizers: I have noticed that of all his sculpts, the main ones that are the LEAST factory are the weapons... They're a slightly off-black, and perhaps lose a little detail, so don't be expecting 100% factory. They're damn close, though. If you're painting them, then this shouldn't matter.
That's not a bad mark, I'd say they were like 98% factory, after removing some minor flashing, but just a warning to some folks who MAY get pissed that they're not fresh out of a Hasbro bubble.

Yeah, it's not a big issue to me. I mostly ordered small arms anyways, and it's just to be replacements down the road should I lose some or need to arm someone without stealing it from another figure.
I actually need the SE holster and thought TJ had it on his site, but I don't see it. I'd buy a dozen of them and matching pistols to start out. I was super impressed with his webgear.

I hope most people that order take into consideration what they're getting and expect to clean up the parts somewhat, or that they might not be exactly like a factory head/weapon. At least, I'd hope customizers would expect that. I know in the past, speaking with other casters, they've had some customers complain that the items didn't fit the body they wanted it for exactly, or it wasn't a perfect cast(flashing/pegs removed), even some complaining that it wasn't painted, lol.
I just got a fully cast Rhodey figure from RodimusRVT and it took me close to 4 hours to clean it up and put it together. I had fun doing it, I didn't expect it to come fully put togehter... but you never know wirh some people. Then again, I think it's also how the sellers post the items for sale and describe it. Most of them are good at it. I know some in the past showed fully painted versions and learned fast that was a mistake.
Anyway, here's hoping I get my order this coming week, it's been a little over a month, but mine was specially colored, so I understand the extra time.
Jesse, do you have the Resolute Duke armored tac-vest? After seeing someone use it on a Cobra Trooper here, I'm thinking of trying something with it for my SW/Joe verse customs.

I feel differently - even though we ARE customizers, I feel that since we are buying a product it should arrive as clean as possible. The orders that I've gotten from Jesse so far (still waiting on my Labor Day order, hint hint!!) have all been 99.9% flash and air bubble free - which is what I expect. As a caster myself, I take the time to remove all the flash, and if a piece has an air bubble that I feel is too large, I don't send it to anyone. I don't have the mindset that "people are customizers, they should be able to fix/sand/repair these items". People are paying good money to me for me to provide a service, and I try to provide that service to the best of my abilities. Sure, it might take me a few extra minutes to scrape or cut the flash off my casts, but I personally feel that it's worth it. I've gotten casts from... other places that weren't that well prepared and got the same "You're a customizer, fix it" response, which completely turned me off to that person.
But, to each their own, I guess.
