A L I E N fans, you must see this!

HOLY CRAP! One of the best threads ever!

Thanks for turning us on to this. Perhaps the mods should see if they can give this guy a free pass and let him in here now. He said he tried to register here at the RPF and could not because registration was closed.
 
Ooooohhhhhh ,it isn't fair man ,all i got is a pr and an alien head ,it ain't fair !!!!!! Some people just have it all .............
 
The pics from ALIEN are great! I got to see the Nostromo up close when it was at KNB Effects Group a few years back. Not in the best of shape, but what a cool piece of Sci-fi history.
 
Yeah, Phil's a really nice Guy, he's very happy to share and is generous with it too ! :thumbsup

A nice guy ? Yes, he's very enthusiastic when it comes to A L I E N. I've been in touch with him via email a few times in the past. He shared behind the scenes jpgs pics very easily and I was amazed by what he sent me (an later posted on eagletransporter's board) !

Generous ? Well... I bought a Narcissus built-up from him on eBay A couple of years ago but never received it... He was unable to give me a proof of shipping or tracking number for his package. I wasn't refunded either, of course. He then refused to answer my next emails... Patience didn't pay in that case... I still wonder if all the guys who had ordered similar Narcissus models from him ever received them...

I've also heard a few "stories" about him from other A L I E N modelshop vets...

A strange guy.

Ah. Good to see the other side being aired, just in the interests of balance. I have no dog in the race BUT I have also heard a few things from a couple of the A L I E N modelshop vets.

I can't vouch for the truth of other people's stories, but I can't help noting that yours is similar. I'm not saying "the dude is shonky", but my caution meter is turned on.

I should mention that I've corresponded with PR in the past and he was indeed very happy to provide information. That was all cool and I have no personal bad experience with him.
 
Phil is a nice enough guy, but he's not very responsible. He purchased about $1,500.00 worth of stuff from me on eBay and never paid for it. He's pretty flakey. Don't get me wrong, I'm not down on him. It just is what it is.
 
I built a few models for Phil. He was a nice guy and had lots of storys.

These are all great photos.

I love the pics! He should write a book like someone allready said.

I dont like how some throw dirt at the guy, though. Its not relevant to the thread and aint cool. And hes not even around to defend himself.:thumbsdown

I know Phill very well, he's a good friend and he lives not far from me. Haven't seen him in a while but if I do I will keep him informed as to when the next registration is open. I know it's open now but i may not see him for a while.
