Nah, I'm just hoping this doesn't become a trend, that's all.

So says the person with 80 posts versus the man that had well over 3k. Darth has done an immense amount for this community and the 501st in general..(if you didn't pick up that the CRL is built around his costume you have been living under a log somewhere). Having seen how many posts and PM's the man answers in a day, helping people on this forum became a full time job for the dude. He's got some family stuff hes got to deal with right now and SHOULD cancel all his orders...but unlike some people that lurk on the Internet Darth has integrity so he's living up to the commitments he made to people because he doesn't want to let them down.

Thanks buddy super happy for this, just wanted to elevate any pressure, supa happy were still on track, yr work is STELLLLLLLA !!!!
PS Got the PM supa appreciate yr communication

Good lord!! taking a forum break is harder than i thought! I posted this to keep everyone in the know...... so people DONT freak out!! lol

i AM NOT going to disappear!

Please read that first post again, I never said" too bad im going to disappear now". I hid the FB page because i get alot of messages every day from people not from here asking for pricing or if i can do this or that for them....and i need to just focus on the commissions i have and getting everything here at home straight. I also changed my messaging setting here for the same reason, also temporarily.

I check on this thread whenever i get a chance, and am subscribed to it. If you need to keep in touch with me, most of you already know my regular facebook page and can contact me there. As far as i know, i added everyone here i am doing work for as a friend or contact on this board, so you can all still message me here as well.

Like i said initially, if i dont respond right away please be patient as i may not be here every day like i was before. If you know me i usually reply very quickly to messages, so im sure you are all used to that. This post was to say i may not be as quick to respond and that some stuff may get a little delayed. I normally work on commissions every day like a full time job from 10am to somewhere between 7 and 9 PM. Right now i have to focus some time on getting back into the workforce among other things that i would rather not get into here, a couple of you know what im talking about.


If i spoke to you recently about a helmet cast or something similar, i am still going to honor that if you still want it. I am casting helmets this week, the last of the commissions helmets, and a few more to just finish off the supplies i have.

Like some of you have said here, (thank you Mullreel and crumdum) i AM honoring my current commissions, and still working on them almost every day (as opposed to every day hence the possible delays...and again i said there MAY be delays, not there WILL be) . When did i say i was stopping work? The point of this post wasnt to disappear, it was to focus on YOUR commission jobs, and spend less time just chatting or helping people out with info like i normally do..and rather enjoy doing actually. I never said i was stopping work on stuff.

This also has NOTHING to do with "my workload being more than i expected". It's the other stuff in my life that has been building, not the commissions. I dont have all that many to do, i just have a little less time to do them.

Lazarus, if i am doing work for you (sometimes i dont realize that your a member here of you contacted me through the FB page) i will add you as a friend on here so you can keep in contact. I also am going to add you rchriswilliams, if i havent already, as i know i am doing work for you as well.

I am not cutting myself off from anyone i am doing work for, so lets all just keep calm. :cheers

Ok, i figured out how to just disable messaging on the FB page, so i re-published it so noone freaks out again.

Thanks for the post Lou. Family stuff comes first man. A costume can wait.

Take care Lou! Hope to see you back soon, even better than ever! Boba may be important, but like almost everyone else said, family comes first. May the force be with you bud

Hope everything is alright Lou.

Hey guys..just popping in to answer some PMs and let you all know im still working diligently on your stuff as weather and time permit. I had a few helmet commissions slated to be done in Sept that i was hoping to have done early in the month, but it will likely end up being later in the Month as the humidity here has been kind of sucky and apparently the masking fluid like to absorb the moisture and stain the paint..so i only paint the helmets when the humidity is 50% or lower. At any rate im hoping to be back here on the regular within the next couple of months, which also by then i will have most of if not all of the commissions done

thanks again for understanding folks, hope you all are having a great summer! See you all soon!
