Another fraud by: Mr. Prince

Week ago.

1 week has passed since metz31689 ordered 12 light poles from me.$4. The light poles were sent immidiately when I could, arriving just a few days after he ordered them for his airport diorama. And as you can see in the airport model section, they are posted right there.

Today.

No money from metz31689. It has been over 1 week since metz31689 claimed he had sent the $4 for "my" lightpoles (therefore if they arent paid for, they are still mine) Yesterday, I ask about the shipping information. Metz31689 blocks me on AIM. Now there is no way for me to contact him, not even under a different AIM screen name because he only allows those who he wants to instant message him.

I am not worried about $4. $4 is certainly not worth this thread. Please do not make any buisness, that is trade/sale with metz31689. Not only has he ditched the wings900.com forums. He has a few guys asking for their customs. One guy says: "where is metz, it has been months since I ordered a custom from him and he got my $60. I have still not yet recieved his custom, and there is no way for me to contact him" For those who wonder why you can't contact metz31689, it is because he changed his AIM screen name to: WN7331, and his buddylist only allows "those who he wishes" to see him, or instant message him.

If you have any negative, or positive comments about metz31689, please reply below and tell us about your experience, and how others can be prevented from coming face to face with fraud.

Thanks again,

Brian S~

I agree. This is old news. And besides, Metz' says that this situation has already been resolved.

Actually I got screwed by mr. Brian Prince (METZ31689) myself. Anyone remember when he supposedly did a Aeris 767? Well he posted pictures of it on DAC and it looked very nice. The decals were in place almost as if it was the Dragon wings model. So when he offered to do a FedEx 727-200 for me for $50.00 buks I agreed. Before I sent the money he and I agreed that he would use a GJ 727-200 mould. Instad I got a piece of crap Dragon 727-100 with missing landing gear. He printed the word FedEx out of his computer colored it with a color pen and glued it on the fuselage. When plane arrived 2 months after he promised the FedEx logos he colored had fallen off.

Yes, yes I admit it was my fault. I knowingly took a risk and I got screwed. I would just like to advise that everyone be careful when you do business with people you don't know.

Young folks just don't seem to listen to the old folks anymore! Listen to this old timer. THERE's ONLY ONE MASTER still working. That is, if he has not burned out YET! His name is CB from Vikings CUSTOM!

In my opinion simply the best. Unfortunatleye, he's just like an Ariline. Always running behind schedule. But I will be the first to admit it's well worth the wait. The Best Quality in Workamship I've seen anyhwere! I just cant' or just Simply Won't trust anybody else with my CUSTOM Work.

Though, I've also heard, but NOT SEEN. That there is someone called DIECAST CUSTOM!. Thats is doing pretty good work too!

But If youre willing to wait. Vikings is by Far the BEST! And I'll continued to due business with CB! even if he's allways running behind schedule!

Customs by VIKINGS Customs!, That's my preference and RECOMMENDATION!.

REMEMBER! Don't buy anything from Brian Prince. He made F*cking bad models.

Brian's customs may not be the greatest, but that surely won't stop me from dealing with him. I've had several transactions (trade and buy/sell) with him, all ending sucessfully. I would be more than happy to deal with him again....

Thanks Faheem,

It is really sad everywhere I turn I see "Brian Prince makes f ucking bad models." I have had a problem with my clear coat recently, and on most models I produced in the past, I have had a problem with the ink running, I admit that, but is that a reason to go around posting on every single forum, every single section, posting I make bad custom models? I would be more than happy to refund your money or replace your model, as now that clear coating problem has been fixed. Because of posts like this and others, I have decided to discontinue producing custom models.

BTW...Proff.Herpies......what do light poles I have already paid for have to do with the Custom Model section?

metz31689. You and I agreed that you would use a Gemini Jets 727-200 and you gave me a Dragon 727-100. What is your excuse for that?! And if you knew you were having a problem with the ink then why didn't you just wait untill you could fix the problem before wasting my money. If you would have told me that you were having a problem and needed more time then I would have understood. Instead you rushed and did a half fast job and used the wrong airplane! What is youre excuse Brian?! I'll bet another $50buks that you wont even respond to this post.

I sent you two emails, neither of which were replied to. I asked if it was alright to use a Dragon mould as the Gemini mould was unavailable at the time. As I mentioned, I never heard back, and I went ahead with the Dragon mould.
