when you do find a new pack, it’s standard to smash a recasted item. which really sucks considering how much prop replicas are.
it might be a relief for you.
Well. At least you got that certificate of authenticity…
Forward that Certificate of Authenticity to Sony. I’m sure Sony won’t like an unlicensed third party authenticating something that Sony did not endorse. Let’s see what happens…
As nice as it would be to see Sony shut Bob down, we really don’t want to be making waves like that in the community. That could have effects on the legitimate GB replica part sellers, GBFans, etc.
It would be interesting to see this “certificate of authenticity”…
Its signed with crayons and you get two whole gold stars!
Wow, I know everyone was saying how bad the shell was, but that looks worse than I imagined. What a piece of junk!
Narcing to any studio is taboo in any prop replica community. It’s almost as bad as recasting because it puts a bad mark on you and your integrity.
I thought bob had claimed improvements. Maybe the box squares were made more uniform? It doesn’t look like any changes were made, and frankly worse than the descriptions I’ve read so far. I wonder how many of the imperfections were carried over from the bowelrock shell, but I read the one bob recast was already flawed.
So when’s pchrisbosh1 gonna cast himself a shell and post in the FS section? Then this will all become a distant memory.
OK. OK. Just looking for a quick way to shut VB down. I guess we wait for VB to start selling complete proton packs on his own.
If he does cast the shell he purchased from bowelrock, he will be outed as a recaster the same way Videobob was. There would be absolutely no difference. The main difference is… Videobob recasts stuff because he can’t make items from scratch… and pchrisbosh1 is an upstanding member of the community who does not, and would not recast.
(Though pchrisbosh1 has an awesome scratch built pack that would be great to cast and sell copies of. I just assumed you were talking about the pack he had gotten from bowelrock.)
The verbiage used:
Spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors are all Bob’s.
I don’t see any gold stars…
I see another admission to recasting.
And still using Sean Bishop’s name, which he was asked not to do… unless I’m very much mistaken.
So he was told to stop name dropping Sean’s name in his videos and on ebay, but apparently it’s okay to put it on a “certificate” and send it to anybody who buys a shell??
I was speaking of his scratchbuild. It’s an amazing preservation of original details and he said he would be posting a FS thread after he made himself a shell.
This certificate is from December 2011. I couldn’t tell you if he has changed it.
VD Slob is an arrogant child. I’d wonder what his reaction would be if someone recast his props, or acquired one of his Deloreans and tried to sell it claiming it was their own build. It’s capitalism in his twisted mind, right?
Then again, why would anyone want to recast VD Slob’s proton pack parts? They look more like gall stones than an ion arm, or a PPD …
He was told to stop long before then. I think back in September around the time he got banned. Although it doesn’t surprise me he would still put his name on a certificate. Shame there has to be people like vb.
Many here have posted detailed, thought out, and coherent opinions that are very hard to to argue against- any rational person, when presented with both sides, would not. Although I agree 100% with AJ and the rest of the ‘‘prop mafia’’ I find their.statements rather long. So here is my boiled down, to the point, version-
VIDYUH BUB IS A SCUMBAG RECASTER P.O.S.!
