As you know a few very disturbed and jealous individuals have made some unfounded accusations about my H9 sculpture. Behind the scenes they have emailed people and site owners trying to ruin my reputation by saying things like “The Sh*tSTORM IS COMING” and “DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM SAM BECAUSE HE IS GOING DOWN!” and “WE HAVE PROOF HE RECASTED” and " MY FRIEND WAYNE TOTH WILL MAKE HIS WAY TO THE FORUM AND COME DOWN ON SAM" and “WAYNE TOTH IS PISSED”.
I refused to play their game and decided to pull all pics and threads from the boards. I then sent all pics of my sculpture and a breakdown of the sculpting process I used to make this sculpt DIRECTLY TO WAYNE TOTH.
Today I received a response from him and here it is UNEDITED.
LETTER REMOVED AT REQUEST OF WAYNE.
Wayne is a gentleman and a great fellow sculptor and artist. I’m going to buy him a beer at Maskfest next year.
That being said: I would like to announce that this project WILL move forward and I have also collected a lot more closeups of the mask. I will add even more detail to it and make it the best H9 out there. IN AT LEAST 2 VERSIONS. :finga:
I also would like to announce that I will no longer respond to threads at all. I have better things to do with my time than have pointless conversations with haters. I will respond to PMs and emails.
Thank you all that have supported me in this project. You won’t be disappointed.
Sam I salute you Sir. BRAVO for moving forward with the project. Like I told you buddy, your H9 looks better than any I have seen yet…I want my name on the list for a regular sized one
Ha, Ha…Kick ass man…Im glad everyone gets to see this from wayne himself…I never thought it was a recast, just a great reference sculpt and Im looking so forward to this… Hell yeah I cant wait…Later guys
Glad to hear you are sticking around and completing this project. It would be a shame to lose a true sculptor from the community because a few people don’t know what it means to have true talent.
