Thank you! Eventually I am going to play a large Helms Deep game and maybe see how those mountain back drops work with it, could look good. The other Helms Deep is going to be repainted...trying to make it look better. I had asked him not to make the back open, but he ignored my request, seems he makes them how he wants to. That is the main reason I want to back it up to those mountains. I didn't want a doll house.
Yes, Tim V is not a very good businessman, seems to be the same story I hear from anyone who has crossed path with the guy. Its sad, because he has talent, but lacks on the business end, and especially is very bad at turn around, if at all, its a matter of luck. The only thing he is good at is taking your money real fast. The whole time he promised 6 weeks on the Helms Deep and then 6 weeks on the Minas Tirith that he has listed on his site. 1.5 years later I got Helms Deep, 6 months after that, he informed me that he was not making Minas Tirith, and that after he won his lawsuit for internet harassment against a long list of whoever...Google, You tube, etc..on and on, he would pay me back (its been almost 2 years now, no money returned). Basically he kept all my $2500 which was for Minas Tirith and shipping...totally up to $2500. I lost all of that money. I was so angry I built my own Minas Tirith. I got the New Jersey Attorney Generals office involved and turns out there was another claim against, plus one a few years previously. Mostly from people in other countries. Thankful New Jersey was on my side, and went after him, it went from County to the State level, hopefully he paid the price in fines, which could be up to and more than $15,000. He had to be subpoena to come in to the NJ Attorney office to make a statement...took like 3 months to get him in there. Then he wrote me a nasty email about me getting the AG involved.
I think I remember seeing your fortress online many times. And also on here awhile back. The Minas Tirith that is on his website, I have never found out who owns it, and he would not talk much about it to me....I think I know why.
But I love those pics you posted, your Minas Tirith looks great! Great restoration.
I also noticed that the Helms Deep (the newer one) that I have was on a video Tim V makes pre dating before I ordered it. Meaning, He sold me something that was half made already and took 1.5 years to finish it. He makes these videos of himself talking online about stuff I don't care about, and in the background on one of the videos there was my Helms Deep, but about a year or so before I ordered it. When I put in my order, the whole time, he was pushing me to let him do Helms Deep first, said it was smaller and faster to make. I wonder whose Helms Deep it was originally for, someone who probably got tired of waiting on it and said forget it.
I am glad I just washed my hands of that whole mess. Scary thing is, he still has his website up and running.
