If your concerned about lack of communication maybe Fett and prop building isn't the hobby for you, waiting for you commissioned pieces takes along time as well as lack of communication, every prop maker is basically the same, some may give you an eta but that is always vague and can overrun. Most people with exceptions of a few do this as a second job /hobby. Waiting patiently is a given. MF has reached out to people on the platforms asking for patience and explaining that he was really busy and couldn't answer every message. Imo I don't think you have acted respectfully to someone who you claim to be a fellow serviceman and vet, you waded in trash talked him and in the process possibly damaged his reputation, showing vague images one that clearly shows damage caused by yourself cutting out the visor. You also mention his lack of communication which contradicts yourself because he offered to repaint your unpaid for in full bucket for free.
The title of this thread is professional etticate, I don't think you have shown MF any professional courtesy you came in slung mud, some of which may stick and now say its OK
"MF and I have a mutual understanding and respect for one another. I hope your customers don't treat you in the same way.
Two sides to each story and I choose not to continue to dwell about it. You are more than welcome to believe what you want and stand by your opinion. Regardless of they are true of not. I was a customer that had many issues with a vendor and gave many chances and tried working with. Seen a opportunity to speak upon due to seeing others have the same issue.
As for your opinion of me, that's your right. Cant please everyone, but I continue to show the same respect to everyone unless they mess with me. I'm human. Your opinion of what I do with my time and money as a hobby is my business. I have no place what to tell people what to do with their time and money so neither do you. Respectfully.
I know what it takes building or crafting as I build plaques for a side job. I have even bought stuff from you Sir, and the transaction was successful and communication was good.
Glad to see others have MF support on his business.
Now, if what I did offended anyone else, by all means message me. I feel we have dragged this tread long enough. MF and I now see eye to eye from past text messages made yesterday and have moved on, but I see others would like to state their opinions.
To each is own.
Thanks.
