I agree with what you said...if that's true then it IS the single DUMBEST thing that he could do. I don't care what someone's got going on in their personal lives...there is nothing and I mean NOTHING that should prevent ANYONE from completing mask in 6 months, short of getting your hands cut off in a freak latex mixing accident.I read a brilliant post on the HMA about making masks and I hole heartedly agree with the original poster...he said "if someone tells you that they can't deliver a mask in 45 days or less and insists you use paypal...don't buy from them" In my opinion....if you've got too many orders to fill in a given time, then stop taking orders until your others are filled....then start again. Get on a routine and money should be constantly coming in. Now I can't say this for ALL mask makers, but I can say it for a couple that I know personally *ie, I hang out with them* sometimes, at least the ones I know are douchebags. I've watched them make up excuses about why they couldn't get a mask out while they would call me up and ask me if I wanted to go watch Transformers.Now these guys are my friends and I wanted to kill them and had even told them on several occassions that was a real douche thing to do, and would always hear responses like *oh I can get one done in two days if I try*. That being said...sometimes things do come up that are legit, but there's not a person on ANY board that can convince me that they've had problems for 6 bloody months and can't produce a single mask. It also sucks because payemnt is demanded up front and even if you're in the right, you really can't say anything because who knows how long you'll be waiting then. Anyway that's just my two cents, but I completely agree with what you said Bellamy and I'm sorry to you guys that are still waiting.-Joseph
