So how long do we actually have to wait, in order to classify this as a ''non performance'' seller/customizer in the archive?

 

[Commtech]

This is so disappointing. Come on Glenn, don't fail us.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I really hope Glenn comes through for you guys.

I'm still waiting on my 2 x Vader domes ( two different finishes) that I was told were posted at the end of September. I've sent PM and also asked here about them with no replies. I've notice he's been on twice since I asked and I have had no reply.... not sure what's going on.. Just hope all is well and we hear back soon.

I am though, a bit disapointed, I was hoping to have them before Christmas. Damn...

I thought i'd post this up for you guys

Firstly ,Happy New Year !! As some of you much to your annoyance havent seen anything from Glenn for a long time now.We thought long and hard over this and felt a full explanation was better than just 'family issues'>.As some of you know Gelnn has elderly parents ,his father suffering from advanced parkinsons disease.At the end of october Glenns fatgher whom to this point lived fairly well at the family home took a turn for the worse with a persistant cellulitis infection, as he suffers from parkinsons disease any treatment using antibiotics renders the medication used for his parkinsons virtually ineffective.With his condition worsening a decision was made for some respite care in a nursing home.Also a decsion was enforced by social services that his fathers bedroom ahd to be relocated to the ground floor of the home.This has had to be done by myself and Glenn, along with at that point 30 mile round trips to the home.On the 15 th december (glenns fortieth birthday) His father was rushed to St Marys hospital with severe septicemia and at 1130 that evening we were advised to make a decision about resuscitation should his heart fail.At this point he had kidney failure and things were not good.
The following day his kidneys 'rebooted' and he stabalised ,unfortunetly his mental state was such that he regressed to an ealier time in his life.As you can no doubt imagine this has been extremely upsetting for all of us, and thus no real progress on anything has be done.The snow and ice also played havock with travelling as G only rides motorcycles.Glenn is extemely close to his father who has supported his custom work by keeping the doors of 'the bank of mum and dad' always open.
At this point his father is much better but the origin of the sepsis is still a puzzle (NHS+XMAS = not alot done ).
Ive been advised that an ANH basic that was completed and due to be sent was held back due to the weather. An ANH replacement 'reveal' helmet is completed and just awaits photographing.The ROTJ final vader is all but done with some reworking of the soft goods in progress. Theres an well overdue ESB full option that has had alot of updates retro fitted is alos awaiting a new designed inner cape.Outstanding work on the snowtrooper gun will start again very soon along with the ROTS and ESB vaders thus incomplete.
Go easy on him.

When it comes to customs, we gotta be patient...its not like Hurricane is new to these boards.

Thanks for the update, Crimson Bob - probably my ANH basic being discussed....its been a long wait, but will be worth it in the end

I must say Glen gave me a full refund and a promiss he will still send the item(reveal evil anakin Sebastian shaw head) a man with a lot on his plate maybe he should sub out some work.

 

[Matt S]

Thanks, Glenn, Mrs H - my ANH Vader arrived and was exactly as discussed....

Guys, I've dealt with Hurricane 3 times over the years - not as much as some, but he does deliver on the goods. Its takes a long time, but its worth it

Thanks, again guys

 

[Jay]

great to hear

hopefully we will see some pics in the future?

 

[Matt S]

Camera is busted, but hes the same quality looking vader others have posted....

I was afraid he would look really short next to Sideshow's vader, but he isnt bad....and in true scale no less....still very imposing and the nice wire in the cape lends more possibilites

 

[Jay]

great to hear hopefully we will see some pics in the future maybe a comparison too

 

[Matt S]

Never had a worry. Way prefer Glenn and Mr's H Cape....really excellent

 

[Jay]

mine was one of the next vaders on the list so my hopes are very high to get a mail in the future

 

[Commtech]

That's good news Matt. I placed my order on May 2009, so yeah, I hear you about not liking the wait.
