Predator Deal Gone Bad .... BIG UPDATE PIC HEAVEY

Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

Start legal action now.

You have been more than patient
 
Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

He's just delaying to hope you'll forget, or to let your legal opportunities run out.

Get on it.

You can't be naive. Con men always sound friendly. That's how they suck people in. All their victims say "golly, he seemed like a great guy".
 
Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

Just a quick heads up on this, Ive been promised that all the items i sent and the items i paid for will be with me Saturday Morning, and a tracking number tomorrow (friday)

Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

DEVASTATED

words cannot discribe how i feel at the moment, i cannot even begin to write anymore on this subject i feel that low.
The Pred Head arrived today along with the Other pieces i paid for and sent to complete my order.
HOWEVER
What arrived would simply HAVE MADE me a laughing stock of any Prop Party i wanted to display this item at ..............

DEVASTATED
 
Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

Make sure everyone knows the guy isn't on the up and up and see to it he gets no more people to try and rip off.
 
Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

Likely he just threw something together in a few hours after things escalated to avoid more heat.

You need to try to get your money back or at the very least describe and post pictures so he will never get work on any forum again.

Unacceptable breach of trust and sadly happens more often than any of us would care to admit.

All of us are dreamers to one extent or another and there are those who take advantage of a dreamer's personality.

Sad . . .
 
Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

This is real shame :( Sorry to here this. Does he still owe you money??

I was wondering what was happening with that Pred torso you were building :( is anything salvageable?? or is it all scrap??
 
Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

Ok so ive had time for all this to sink in, Firstly many thanks for all the messages, kind words and advice here, its really appreciated.

There are some Pieces that we crave to have in our collections, and some of us have to rely on the good work of others to have those awsome pieces in our collection as we are simply not talented enough to do the work ourseleves.

Having a Life Sized Pred head has been a long time want of mine, so ordering and commissioning one of these was very exciting to me, especially after recieving an amazing Bio from Daren (suckface)

My Fiancee placed the order for a fully painted Pred Head way back in December, and it was agreed that for an Extra cost i would supply DreadLocks, Quils and Dread Rings to have what i was told The Ultimate Pred Head display.

So after a 4 and half month wait countless Bull **** txts this is what i recieved Friday

You will see that i have mounted the Head on a stand i did this as soon as unboxing the Head .......... because.......... the Foam Filling was still wet !!!

At first glance it looks like a great Paint Up which to an extent it is
But Look at the Dreadlocks They have been cut way to short and Mounted in the holes wrong

So onto the DreadLocks the expanding foam is actually visable through some of the Dread Holes and there was obviously a problem at some point as some expanding foam went onto the actual dreads, what he has then tried to do is scrape it off Damaging the Dreads, i will now have to order some more and replace these

Im not convinced the head is 1;1 the dreads have been cut way to short before fitting and no neck ring fitted as agreed or promised

Initially i was impressed with the Paint Up but on firther inspection there are areas where the paint has chipped off the latex this being the worse

pred4.jpg


The Eye Area has been cut out all wrong and the Glass eyes (which i provided) have been glued in lop sided giving the impression the Pred is Cross eyed
im unable to get to the eyes now as the whole head has been foam filled

pred6.jpg


The Mandibles that seem to have been glued on at some point were not attached when i opened the box, so now i have the problem of re-attaching these filling in the gaps and matching the paint, also if you look closely you see this Pred Is cross eyed

pred5.jpg


Im not sure if i have over reacted here or not.......... you decide

But my personal opinion is i have not recieved what i was promised for the large amount this cost us in the begining.

couple that with the damage done to the other Parts we paid for and supplied ............. my dream has been well and truly destroyed IMHO

To take money off somone to fund other projects is just plain wrong from my point of view
we paid to have a Predator Head display we didnt pay to fund his YODA project which judging by his Junkyard Thread we clearly did

as some one has mentioned This is a few hours of rushed work, not 4 months worth of carfull artistic genius.

That Simon is bloody awful and the man is a NOB for even mailing that out to you, id want to BE paid, to accept work like that.
As for the crud on the dreads, who fitted them, an infant? This really does drag the hobby into ill repute business like this, really feeling for you bud.

Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

I think it's time for the mods to have a talk with the guy cause he sounds like a rip off artist.

Already initiated. This is a case of bad dealership that should have been reported from the get go to prevent further damages to the membership.

Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

i would like to say at least some stuff turned up but seems like a fair bit of work is needed to put the pred head right. it does seem a little small to me but im no expert. the paint is better than i could have done but it sucks when you dont get what you paid for, or rather what your mrs paid for
 
Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

Oh my God.

You're right Simon this is laughable. Absolutely ridiculous and a joke.

This guy should be banned until he makes things right with you monetarily.

Just terrible.

Something needs to be STICKIED to warn other members about this guy.

Screw second chances, I will NEVER work with this guy under any circumstances for ANY project.
 
Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

and he call himself an artist....I can't imagine what was he thinking when he rushed this out to you. Sorry you got into this.

I hope you will get your money back. this is unacceptable.
 
Re: Predator Deal Gone Bad ....

Simon, IMHO, get a refund. Send it back. No other solution will do :thumbsdown

Please forgive me, just trying to cheer you up a bit if it is humanly possible ....

....... the cross-eyes are really ..... :lol :lol :lol

Send it back mate :thumbsup

I'd say let him keep £1 ... for the laugh :lol:lol

Did you HAVE to post this ! I can't stop look looking at it and burst out laughing :lol

also if you look closely you see this Pred Is cross eyed
