It wasn't whining, it was a simple question. And my reaction was my knee-jerk to what I saw at first glance (if we had access to the screen you've just shown me it would've never happened) And yes, when I left a few months ago I left with a bitter taste in my mouth. I chose to leave instead of devol...

I only wanted some clarifications on the unfortunate implications, and you've given them to me. And the condescending tone really gets old after a while.

Just a bit of constructive criticism: I've been gone a little while, and coming back I discover this new karma system. Along with the fact that a lot of my posts have been voted down. First thing I notice is that, since I haven't regularly posted in something like 8 months, those posts are really ol...

Fernando refunded my money and apologized. So I consider this matter settled. Don't hesitate to do business with him.

Now that madeinsocal6 has logged in again, here's some feedback. I've paid 25$ for one of his MT500 stubby antennas back in March (8 months ago) and never got it. I've tried PMing him, emailing him, and filing a PayPal dispute and never got any answer.

Well the motherboards were cut with a jigsaw by the prop makers (probably in a rush, with a suit breathing down their necks) so they fit pretty well but they're not perfect. If you want to have an accurate motherboard, trace your shell, and cut it yourself while imagining you're on a tight deadline....

I think it's finally time to unveil what I was working on for the past few weeks (or months) I've been upgrading a LOT of details on my current pack, to make it as close and accurate as possible to the screen-used pack that was sold privately (or more simply the Ray GB2 pack) So here goes! http://ww...

Exactly. And the whole pack was made that way. If anything on the pack looks like it took more than 10 minutes to make, it's not the prop makers that did it. Do you really think that they carefully machined the gun track or the gun knobs or the bumper? Or that they designed and printed out labels on...

Replacing the plastic jacket on genuine Legris elbows?!? Cracks or not, that's a big no-no. It'd be like replacing the laminate on a used GB1 ribbon cable. :O When you find vintage parts you keep them as is.

If I may, you should add the "angle" that's present on both ends of the screen-used grips. I don't think I've ever seen that detail replicated before.
