This is a warning and a plea. Mr. Dennis Lunde owner of Miniature World from WA, USA was contracted to mold and cast several greens of mine in March 2004. After taking prepayment he has failed to supply the finished casts and molds. He has failed to return the original greens as well. This has been ongoing for several months now. Despite communications with me he has failed to deliver. I have since found out that this happened to others. Do not do business with him!

If you have bought greens, metal figs or molds from this individual since April 1, 2004 please contact me with photos. You could have pirated or stolen material in your possession. My email is sturmpioneer@yahoo.com

Did you sculpt the greens yourself? Man, that would hurt if you paid for them.

There was a discussion about this guy a few month's ago.

Go back and review that for more information.

SturmPi did pay for them, and I designed some of the minis. First minis I ever designed as well...

One of my clients had similar problems with this individual, but after threats of involving an attorney, he did finally get his greans returned. I don't think he was intirely successful in getting his money back, however.

This is crap. Taking money and not delivery is one thing. Stealing masters and green is totaly something else. There are precious few who are willing to put up the money and risk to start a new line of miniatures. Please kick up a big fuss over this so that no one forgets. Hopfully getting rid of the dishonest will reduce the cost of entry into the industry.

Hey Jakar- I like your compilation of automatons. Very useful and when I showed it to my brother he informed me I would be buying them for him for Christmas....

You have his address I would make a person to person call.....The old methods sometimes work the best.It is sad when people have little honor left in them like this man who has stolen from you.

Thank-you for these posts. I have tried all the reasonable methods to get this resolved. Unfortunately he is a professional con man and is pulling every trick in the book.

You simply have to stand up to him. He is all smoke and mirrors. If you push back, he will at least return your property. Just be firm and don't let him scare you off. However, anytime you do business with anyone, it is very important that you save all correspondence and receipts. Otherwise, you have nothing with which to make your case.
