Even just given the verifiable circumstances it's pretty insulting to members here and the original thread poster.

Let me clarify some things. I am not an employee of ARH Studios. I am a self employed sculptor, mold maker and I build statues for a living for all kinds of clients including Arahom.
I met Arahom a couple years ago and he paid me per piece to make molds and to build and paint statues for ARH Studios. At this point I had never heard of ARH Studios and I had mostly worked in the resin kit industry creating and selling my own statues and original designs.
Arahom was not familiar with the resin kit industry and because he geared toward the pre-paint market he was not offering kits to anyone. A year ago or so I proposed the idea that in exchange for making several molds for him he would give me a handful of the original molds from ARH Studios older statues. He told me that I could sell kits with these old molds on my own time and expense. Arahom does not get any money from these sales and I alone do all the work in casting and building these kits. I do not sell any unlicensed kits or recasts.
If someone buys a kit through me and hires me to build and paint a statue, Arahom has nothing to do with that sale. If he gets an order through ARH for a bust or new kit then I sell him a casting and he builds and paints it on his own for whatever cost he charges. We do our work separately in our own studios and I do not even live in the same state as Arahom. I buy all my own silicone and resin and paint and supplies out of my own pocket and get nothing from Arahom.
I am not associated to any old ARH orders and I have no connection to any lost or missing orders through ARH. I am simply a guy trying to make a living as an artist and using my skills to build and paint models and sell kits to those people who want them.
I realize it may be confusing but this is just to clear things up a bit so people understand the situation I am in. I apologize if you are missing orders with ARH but I am just trying to make a living on my own so I hope that makes sense. People have no right to be angry at me or hold me accountable for something I have nothing to do with. Everyone that has done business with me has been given their orders as told and are all very happy with the services I provide. You will only find happily satisfied customers that have worked with me so please stop spreading disinformation.
