Received the dorsal fins today. Some of the larger dorsal fins are cast in a smaller pieces which need to be put together. Unfortunately, they don't fit together that well and tend to have huge gaps that’ll need to be filled.

In any case here the big guy:

What was weird was the box the dorsal fins came in smelled like cigarette smoke. Upon unpacking, I found a smoked cigarette butt thrown in there as if it was trash! Kinda gross.

Quick and dirty photo on some of the other busts in the collection if anyone is interested.

A few days ago, AG sent out a mass e-mail w/ a long rant about how he almost died in the hospital and what not. Well, now that he is all better, we will see if he's truly going to make it up to all his customers........

How much does this guy charge for these things? Becasue I could probably do someting close to this level of quality myself.

Also, how legal is it to produce these kind of garage kit deals? From what I understand if you stay small time you can get away with it, anyone have anymore insight into how it works exactly?

YeaI got that e-mail too.... Looks like AG came back from the dead. He's sent me a ton of e-mails about how sorry he is and how these guys Bob & Simon screwed him over..... He said he will have my Ghidorah out by Fri. and trying his best to get everyone their Kaiju sculpts asap..... We will see if this happens.....

I'm confused. He's having other people sell his sculpts...but they're not sending them out AND keeping the money?

....can someone explain to me the story behind it better. I'm kind of confused what the guy said in the ^ email.
