Advice needed

[Count Darvaleth]

Ha ha! Damn right too. He deserves it.

Also: Did he send you the assembled miniatures, or were they boxed? If they were unassembled, and he doesn't pay up, and you feel like having some fun, I'd suggest doing this...

First of all, take any of the miniatures that either he really wants or you don't mind destroying. Then, unassemble it. Then, prepare a vat of pink paint. Add to it PVA glue, honey, maple syrup, jam, etc. the works. Mix it until it's really thick and gloopy... then drop the individual pieces of what you want to destroy into the mixture. When they are suitably covered, remove them, and cook them in an oven so the mixture dries in massive globules all over it. Then, cover it in glossy varnish. Base it with a dried biscuit, and you're done!

It's basically like a recipe. Make sure you attach a note saying what the model is, because the small pile of parts will most likely be unintelligible. If you can, give it to him in an envelope (and chuck some more pink surprise in there for fun) and prepare a camera. Then run away.

He'd get a free army of Pink Horrors!

Hmm... good point. Use green instead of pink, then. We don't want hom to find any use for these ruined arms/legs etc.

What a mess and what an @$$! Good for you he was in the wrong though and the law is on your side.

I must say I really like Count Darvaleth's 'recipe'

aye I do too. But now if he doesnt pay which appears to be the case as he is now whinning about it, not having a job and cant get the funds to pay me. I have offered ever solution I can from selling a few of his lords to pay for the lot too offering a small payment plan over the next year. He isnt intrested. Actaully told me since I wont just give them back and let him arrange something to pay me I can keep them. I was like ummm ok.

But yes if he doesnt pay he loses his models simple as that. After having a lawyer help me write up a contract for future commisions It is clearly stated in there payment options and it is agreed before I take the models. It also states after 90 days of finishing them and invoicing I must have payment or arrangement of some kind or I am free to do with the mini's I painted as I feel nessasary to recoup my losses.

To be honest if the person wasnt such a ass about all this I woulda gave him back all them but the lords and hero's I would of sold to cover the cost. Now well I am done being a nice person about it, especially when he is making me look as the bad person. Which luckly most people know the jerk most dont like him and understand what is going on.

On a side note it was funny to watch him buy 200 dollors worth of magic cards with the money he doesnt have to pay me.

Ah, how charming. :mad2:

Had a friend like that. He owed me about 500SEK(around £45) and then I heard he was out clubbing the day after I asked if he had the money which incidently made me unable to go due to not affording it. Had to wait a month to get the money and only cause I took it out of his hands. Apparently he had borrowed money left and right and pissed off a lot of people. Today, he's just a loose acquientence but least now he's self-sufficent and not such a twat.

I guess there are irresponsible self-fish people everywhere.

It is so tempting to not wait for the 90 days and just list his army. But ill be fair and nice and wait. But yes it was entertaining. I was gonna allow him to have enough of his army back to play this weekend but after what I saw today no. Ill be a jerk and not offer kindness.

Like I said I offered him reasonable solutions the loss of 5 mini's to cover the cost of the entire army.hmmm I would of jumped at it. But that is just me.

 

[Zephyr]

Sounds like you've been more than fair towards him. If he really had financial worries I would also get him some slack but seeing him spend so much cash on Magic cards...I would rip his head off I swear. :mad2:
