I totally agree with you. Early in the thread someone questioned all of the hate and then called the haters trolls.
I?m still waiting to see pictures of the fully assembled and painted kit by Mars that were promised ?soon? back in November. I have seen only complaints about the kits, no praise anywhere, so I?m confident Mars is having a great time gluing and painting. Oh, and hey Fogger! One of these days we?ll have to get the gang back together. |

I have seen only complaints about the kits, no praise anywhere, so I?m confident Mars is having a great time gluing and painting. Oh, and hey Fogger! One of these days we?ll have to get the gang back together. At this point, I just laugh at his continued “updates” and whining. And I laugh at Retroblasting for still seeming to have this guy’s back. His latest update is that he isn’t shipping kits at the moment becuause he is too busy “fixing” the kits which have actually shipped. How many times has he said he “fixed” the kit over the last 3 years and was ready for mass production? He said in the 2/2023 Retroblasting video that he has already “fixed” resin pockets and called YT (one of the review video makers) a liar, just to announce earlier this year that he “fixed” resin pockets. Does he think we’re stupid and don’t remember the lies? It was comedy gold when he talked about his extensive “experience” in this thread - he clearly is an amateur. As someone who does 3D printing as a side business, I can tell you 1) his decisions on Airwolf have been terrible. 2) had I sold Airwolf, the kits would?ve been perfected and shipped within 12 months. The man has no clue what he’s doing. And the way he insults and treats his customers and Retroblasting just sits there pretending nothing is wrong. Last edited by ICF2023; 04-27-2024 at 10:21 AM.. |

I think the files are a big part of the problem. I?ve heard various stories about the files - some say he took them from others, he claims he built his own files, etc. One guy found a link to his download history on Cults3D and it did include Airwolf files, aircraft consoles, etc. I don?t really know what the true story is; what I do know is that Mars has failed its customers. Based on some of the photos people have posted about the poor quality of the kit, it?s apparent that a large part of the problem is the files:
1. Thin walls which are breaking in shipping or upon assembly. 2. This may have been ?corrected,? but the initial reviews said some of the magnet holes weren?t sized properly or were out of place. 3. IIRC, the first reviewer had issues with the cockpit not properly fitting in the body as well. |

Well, the piece of garbage finally threw in the towel as you can see in the attached photo. Sorry to everyone who lost money on this and his long trail of lies and deception.

Y'all think he still has it? I've yet to have seen any evidence that anybody running any action figure KickStarter has 'stolen' money. He wasted it on making shit; but he's not 'keeping' it because it's fucking gone.

Exactly. It's not (necessarily) a scam if they lose your money, they're just a poor businessperson or unlucky.
