I recently had the pleasure of acquiring some cast goods from Asphalt's "Hunter Artworks" and I have to say that I am VERY pleased with them! The material the items is cast in is top-notch, firm yet yeilding to prevent snapping and the details are crisp and clear.One of the items in particular, the double chainsaw android hand, feels JUST like an actual Hasbro-produced piece! The translucent pieces I received are fantastic! Completely free of air bubbles which commonly plague pieces of this nature and crystal clear. Some of my favorite parts I received: Android Grenade Launcher Pulse Pistol Holster Set (an original sculpted holster by Meandnooneelse!) Gothic Shield Gateway to the Stars Alienite I highly recommend checking out Hunter Artworks when you get the chance! I give Hunter Artworks the "Spectre Seal Of Approval"!

Yah, Asphalt's a solid guy, imho. He's hooked me up with some good stuff over the past while; and has allowed me to donate items to his store (most of which hasn't shown up yet, so if his product quality goes down in the coming months you'll know to blame me).
Has anyone extended an invite to him to join up here? Do we want him to? Has he been a dick to anyone (not that it would disqualify him; hell, looking around it seems to be the primary qualification for joining)?

Has he been a dick to anyone (not that it would disqualify him; hell, looking around it seems to be the primary qualification for joining)? it's a coincidence that most the fuckers here just happen to be dicks! seriously, uninhibited brutal honesty is one of the reasons we wanted AV onboard here! (something about good customs and great geek passion might have been part of it too) someone go ahead an invite Hunter/Asphalt, I say, it looks from his site he'd have plenty to contribute. I've never heard of him (I don't think) and he's never been asked about for this forum before this so I think its good someone did bring him up now. I'd like to see his contributions to the insane asylum I'm helping to run here. And I say one board can never have too many folks who can do molding and casting!

I can take care of the invite. How do I do that, exactly? Him just logging to the boards isn't gonna help him none, will it? It's been so long (and so many beers ago) that I don't remember what I got my first time coming over but I don't think it was an instant thing to just start posting and shiat.

One of the reasons I voted for him to be here. That and he has his own unique form of abuse he deals out. ;D
I am cool with inviting him. Though better that someone other than me offer the invite. I think the only person I invited here that ever showed up was AV...

For the invite: give him this link: st6customs.proboards.com/index.cgiand let him know that when he signs up a admin will need to activate his account. Also tell him if he signs up with different user name than Asphalt, email straxus (gul_straxus@yahoo.com) and let me know what it is and I will make sure he gets activated. (I would confirm via Trigate but their forum has been down for few days and no idea if/when it will be back up.)

Alrighty, invite sent. I needed to jabber with him anyway. Weird that TGC is down, tho.

He signed up and I activated his account. I sent him an email letting him know.
I agree about TGC. Wondering if there was a server error when they were updating the cart for the new preorder as forum went down the same day that was suppost to start up.

Don't talk too much about Hawkeye's unnatural love of how Iron Man makes his pants all tight and you should be here a goodly while.

Yep, mold/cast though since my pressure pot crapped out on me most the stuff I do is lacking in quality.

Wait wait wait! There needs to be a limit on the number of kickass guys named Sean on this site. 3 is just too many. Sorry but I'm staying and so is Asphalt so XHairs see you later (you don't customize anyway and all you do is complain about no product heh)

Somebody grab a 3-sided coin to flip or else I start making arbitrary designations that nobody's gonna like.

Um... NO! I am Sean since I am the proudest Irish guy on the damn site. I was also named after a teen heart throb, not that that matters any, but I may be the oldest :fingers crossed: I'm keeping my damn name. I'll be Sean, Asphalt you're Connery and Xhairs is... "There's no new product guy." PERFECT! I win!

Alright, that's it. Since y'all can't play nice, I'm taking care of the issue.
From now on, Sean; your Delta Tau Chi name is ... Stork. Sean, your Delta Tau Chi name is ... Pinto. And Sean, your Delta Tau Chi name is ... Flounder.
