Let it be said ....

Post by pickelhaube » Mon Nov 09, 2009 8:29 am

In the past I have had some problems with Skywork toys.

I have made some insults in the heat of anger.

That has passed into history.

Jack (from Skyworks ) called me a few months ago. Believe when I tell you there was heated dialoge.

Belive me.

After about a half hour of it we calmed down. We even became civil.

We both appalogized to each other and at that time I told Jack that I would not say another negative thing about him.

I have not.

That being said we have burried the hatchet so many months ago but as things have progressed we have not talked to each other since.

There has been a post about his Tony. It is a little pricey , but it is a work of art. The rendition of "MY "Tony would not have looked as good.

He has a talent that this hobby needs.

Of course I do not want to take warm showers with him but ....

Greetings:

I will echo what Matt said.

Skyworks and I had an issue as well. Some harsh things were said at the time on this forum by me. I regret being like that to Jack in a public venue and also allowing some insults fly in the heat of anger. I left my emotions get the best of me at the time and probably said some things publicly I should not have. I apologized to Jack and I feel we are on good terms at this point.

I've been conversing regularly with Jack over these many months. He has promised to make a replacement for the tail of my F-16 and I have accepted that. He is working on it and I trust he is. I understand Jack's point of view making all these parts, pieces and planes mainly as a hobby takes a lot of time and money. We've spoken a lot of about this and about how the economy has affected both of us greatly over the last year. I trust Jack will make my replacement part and it will be just fine. I'm willing to wait patiently until he can get to it.

Jack's models are a part of the 1/18 hobby right now and sorely needed. They are expensive and I only wish I could afford them all, but they are pretty cool. It is good to see him be a part of our community officially.
