AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
This is a new anno shop....they have been great and always put out a good product. It takes a bit of time to make sure the colors all match and everything is polished the way i like......i admit i am a PITA ...but in the end you get a quality item.
I have sent them Many different items to be either polished, blasted, stripped and more.
After dealing with many anno shops i have come to the conclusion that these things take some time. We are working on this 100% to get every last body in and out to the customers.
I will make sure to continue to update this thread often and with as much info as i have.
"Side note" I will be in Buffalo this weekend "Entering a version of Full Retard" in the Wing Contest....this is gonna be interesting
The process for anno can be time consuming. Especially when there are a large number of parts that need to be prepped. I dabble in polishing, and let me tell you, it is no fun. For me to get 1 part to a mirror shine can take at least an hour, most likely in my case more because im an amateur. Now multiply that by 100 parts... how about 200 parts? Christian and I polished one of his Noxious bodies from start to finish to see what it would take,... and it took us something like 3 hours.
I totally understand the process is tidious.
I guess my frustration is not that the anno shop would take time to do a proper job, which I respect, it s more that it keeps on being shipped.
I would rather have the message: Bodies are being finished
than Products have shipped or Products will be shipped tomorrow

Oh I hear you on that. Im waiting on two bodies myself. I can also say from what I hear that the machining on the bodies is taking way too long, but you know, this is the mag world what should we expect
