Believe me.....I hated myself just as bad when it happened...I was SO happy with how it turned out, the colors, the position of everything, for a non-color and size matched CPO it was SO perfect....I'm sorry man.... :oops: :oops:


Well....the only real reason was that I tried to get the extra button hole on the exactly correct position. And that I thought the hole punch had grabbed the metal enough to not start turning, but it did....

Another lesson learned. Thanks so much for printing me another one Rich, you're the best !!

HUGE THANKS to Rich.....since he had to print out a new CPO anyway, I kindly (and modestly) requested if he could adjust the yellow color a tiny bit. I sent him a picture as a reference. Yeah yeah I know about colors not being true on camera's, but that's exactly why I chose Fuji. IMHO they have the best color rendition I've seen so far.
Also: it is just to give an idea what should be changed.

Anyway, GREAT that Rich wants to do the effort. Even better: this time he's sending me TWO cpo's "Just in case" !

OK I'm stupid, but not THAT stupid. Also the hole is already there now....no need to do any more punching....

There is just some problem with the artwork that is probably nobodies "fault".....it's just not like that I can use it now....

I just e-mailed Rich about it and first want to wait for his reply, seems the decent thing to do. Rich is great, I'm sure we'll solve it.

Well, received the 4th and 5th copies of this Puckman CPO ever created.

To refresh memory:

1) I f-ed up the first one so I ordered a new one with Rich
2) He sent me two this time ( to make sure, at no extra charge !), but there was a problem: there were small black spots scattered throughout them. Even though the spots were small, the huge contrast between the black and the artwork was really totally visible at first glance. So I mailed Rich about it, and of course he agreed that this was not up to his standards and would sent me a new set.
3) So he sent me two again, and they are absolutely great

Just moved the CP inside the home to get it at room temperature...installation tonight !

Just have to say Rich was brilliant in this (as always). I screwed up the first CP myself. I did pay for a new one, but he sent me an extra copy. When it turned out there was a problem with those, he replaced them right away. He even improved the yellow color a bit further. SO, as always: www.thisoldgame.com is highly recommended !

Nope, that was removed instantly (glue not totally dried (obviously!) so it was easier to take off right away).
Also didn't want to have to look at that embarrassing sight anymore.... ;)
