The stupid comments you make as you slither behind my every post looking for something to cry about rarely get under my skin these days, but when you accuse me of something you know nothing about, then your complete ignorance of the subject truly shows. Normally I wouldn't feel any reason to explain anything to you that you aren't going to understand anyway, but when you accuse me of something like that, you are blasting my integrity; which is starting to cross a line. You really don't know me as well as you thought you did Matthew. So perhaps you need a refresher course.
Oh,
goody.First off, Owen makes dioramas, not photonovels. Big difference. Keep it straight next time.
Simple mistake. I was confusing your neverending pimping of your own horrible photonovels for your neverending pimping of BLOWen’s dioramas. Caught it, and fixed it a moment later, though.
Do I kiss Owen's ass? At times, yes (he is my best friend in his hobby after all and my collection would be pretty bland without his dioramas). But I think he deserves a hell of a lot of credit regardless if he's my friend or not. Owen is making dioramas that would be the ultimate playsets if Hasbro followed his style. And, he's the only person who is doing so that I'm aware of, and filling a huge gap in my collection by doing so, as well as for a lot of other people in the community.
It’s good stuff, sure, but not the be-all, end-all, like you try to make it out to be in every other post here, and every other “news story” that you put up over at Yak.
But why did I start pimping Owen's work here? Not that I feel obligated to explain myself, but for you I'll make an exception, because lately you seem to be getting a bit stressed.
How do you mean, Doctor? I’m not the one blowing a gasket and writing 3,000 word responses in here. Just a couple of pics of some dead horses, that’s all.
I started discussing Owen's work here a while back because Owen doesn't post at Jedidefender and I thought people should see his work.
Finally! We get the backstory of the BLOWen/PHEWIE pimp/whore saga. I’ve been waiting for this!
He doesn't have DSL and only posts at RS, which is pretty rare for him to even post there.
Go on!
So, after getting my first diorama from him a couple years ago, I was amazed at the quality and wanted to show some new items in my collection, and naturally I credited Owen for his work.
Naturally.
So I opened This Thread showing the stuff I had purchased from him. And from time to time when a topic comes up where I want to reference something with a visual, I'll use one of Owen's items as an example if it applies.
Simply fascinating, Sir. Thank you, thank you so much. Allow me, on behalf of the entire online Star Wars collecting community, to thank you for sharing this incredibly gifted artist’s work with the rest of the world. And please keep doing so! We are all tremendously lucky to have someone like him around. I’m glad he doesn’t post here, really, because I don’t know what I’d do in his presence! Probably piss myself.
The only thing we need now are updates on BLOWen's bowel movements. With pics, please. I'm sure they're spectacular.
Now, if you think Owen's stuff is overpriced, whatever. You've never ordered something from him and I doubt he'd deal with you anyway.
I wouldn’t deal with him in the first place. As shown by the few posts he’s made here, he’s a huge ass—and your head being permanently lodged up there isn't helping matters any. But you’re right, I don’t have any direct knowledge of his prices. All I know is what I’ve read in threads like this one, where you yourself mentioned the silly Death Star playset, and that it was so pricey that you don’t know if you’ll be able to order stuff like that from him anymore. So I get the feeling that, even with all the pimping you’re doing for him, that his stuff isn’t exactly on the cheap side.
And I've never seen evidence of you doing absolutely anything in customizing,
Right. Outside of a couple of quick-and-easy customs a few years ago (like fixing the original R5-D4), I don’t have much interest in customizing at all. It’s not my thing.
so I'd say you're have a lack of knowledge on how much work goes into a work of art.
You could say that, I guess, but you’d be wrong. For a long time, I was good friends with a fairly well-known member of the customizing community, and my best friend is a painter, who drives all over the country going to dozens of art shows every year. So I do have a bit of an idea about this stuff.
Overpriced? What a joke.
But you already touched on that earlier. Here, let me help you:
Now, if you think Owen's stuff is overpriced, whatever. You've never ordered something from him and I doubt he'd deal with you anyway.
Moving on.
As for you questioning my integrity, I started getting some discounts from Owen after my first 10 or so items I ordered from him (more than anyone else has ordered to that point), but also because we've become friends. But you mean to tell me that I also get discounts from Owen because I show pictures of his work? That's new to me! I'll have to tell him that since Matt said so, I get a discount moving forward.
Hell yeah! Cut me in on some of that action! Just tell BLOwen to keep it out of my hair.
Really Matt, if you have any more questions about the fine art of customizing, there is a great customizing section here where many people would be more than willing to assist you, or please feel free to PM me.
No thanks. Like I said, I’m not very interested in customizing, and even if I was, I’d never ask a shameless whore like you for help, anyway.
This is a thread about playsets; not rotting horses in Kosovo.
It was about playsets, and turned into yet another area for you to bitch and moan and whine and complain about Hasbro not making any, which you do almost as much as you peddle BLOwen’s **** for him. That’s when the dead horses came into play.
