Series 1. Daniel & Juliet Pics, In progress pics of the sculpts

Yes, it IS directed at myself, obviously, as I want people to know that they will get these pieces, but I certainly don't want to have to refund more people (obviously). Motivation has NOT been "the main factor", as you opined. There is much more to things than that. MUCH more. Many of which I'd disclosed on this thread. Materials, molding mishaps, HELP in doing this stuff, etc.. It's not like I'm sitting around doing nothing.
There is a lot that goes into these things and without proper equipment to ensure a 100% success ratio with casting, it get's VERY tricky. All I can say is there's a LOT more to it than motivation, though I have been motivated. So with all respect, please don't assume things.
And Shadow, the few people who have been waiting will be taken care of. In fact, I plan to send them busts, in addition to refunding them asap, to show my appreciation. Funds were/are tied up largely in materials for all of this stuff. It ain't exactly cheap to make these things!
And I WOULD come through on my self-imposed penalty, if I had to. Yes, it would be difficult, but I would. There are many other projects in which I'm involved, aside from this, that would help me in such a matter. But again, it won't come to that! But how about this-just relax and wait for your pieces?
P.S. The "antichrist" comment was a bit much. But here I am, casting piece, doing this and that, and when I read that I'm trying to "give the runaround or something like that, it hurts. I know it's beyond annoying, but I want nothing more than to have these all out. And believe me, they will be.
Okay, I'll be back with news very soon.
Thanks to ALL for their continued patience and support.

I just want to say that I still believe in Clay and I gladly wait till he is done. I know people been waiting alittle longer than I have but its been well over a year. But I know these things take a long time to get right and again I rather have something great than something half done. So Clay dont worry about sending mine out as one of the 1st get the ones to people that need them now. I gladly wait for one of the last to be shipped.
just saying

Well, you know...I'd rather not "quote you" at all. But since you seem to chime in again and again, as if you know what I'm dealing (or have dealt) with or what caused what, or anything about my life, it just sort of happened that I misquoted you.
So with all respect (and I DO mean that sincerely), can we just leave it at that?
Please forgive the misquote, but there wasn't really much difference in meanings, was there? I hope this doesn't just start brushfire of barbs, here. I REALLY despise this sort of thing. PEACE.
Btw, thanks TommieandGary (and EVERYONE who has been polite and patient about all of this). Bottom line is that folks will see "what's what" when they get these pieces. And please know that I plan to do all I can to make it up to you.

Just wanted to post again really quick and say no hard feelings, BCS! Of course, I know where you're coming from and I can't deny that I deserve some degree of "ribbing", whether intentional or not.
Just want people to know that my intentions are genuine, whether they seem that way or not. So...peace, man.
I don't want anyone to think there are bad feelings between us, based on a few comments back and forth. All is good.
Best wishes to all.......

Thanks, Clay. Yes, we good.
Good luck finalizing everything.
