I was surprised to see the application, there wasn't a concerted invite.
An opener along the lines of "I got it all wrong, sorry for all the venom during my time on AMMO and hurled from HQ, thanks for having me back etc etc" would have been appreciated. Even "apologies for all the unfounded accusations, i.e: bombarding me with porn, as declared on numerous occasions on a public forum". Danthecoat might have been pulling the strings, but you said it.

But just to show that we're above all that, welcome back.

I'm sorry Matt, I was under the impression that it was a concerted invite, as Iain's email stated the guys want you back. You are one of the main reasons I didn't rejoin earlier when invited, as we still have issues. But your views are of no consequence to me and, for your information, Iain, Daz and myself have resolved our differences behind the scenes and are combining our efforts to rid the hobby of the cancer. I think it's best that we voice our personal differences by pm and keep it off the forum.

Oh well, I suppose a public apology was expecting too much from you, but anyone who remembers reading those posts may wonder why a little humility is such a big deal? The cancer of which you speak is long gone as far as we're concerned as we had the good sense to ban him, as did the other decent AM forum.
Without wishing to sound smug, I did warn you when you first got involved with DTC, but you denounced me as an idiot and declared your superior judgement of character. I could have saved you a lot of trouble.

Re: PM's, we generally use them to finalise swaps or buys. Apart from paypal and address details, I wouldn't put anything in a PM I wouldn't post on a public forum. Don't forget it was Danthcoat (and you for that matter) and his behind the scenes PM's that caused so much trouble in the first place.

I'm sorry for offending you through a number of posts that I made when the VAME team (and me personally)were being accused of all sorts of unfounded nonsense; it was childish of me.

I couldn't give a monkeys what you think of me, but I do care about this forum, so for everyone's benefit let's keep VAME a happy place. It's an escape for most, not a vehicle for revenge.

hi Vaughan...... yes we have chatted and thro the 1st or 2an email we both realized that the who disgusting episode was made up by one Disgusting Thieving Creep ( who we all know) ALSO that WILL NEVER EVER be invited back to this forum .(as he's been banned twice off the vame and off other forums too )..
as this Disgusting Thieving Creep
made up the lies to Vaughan about ..the porn .. threatening old ladys at the hall were they hold there action FIGURE show ..lies about that he had been in contact with the police . late night phone calls BUT made it all look like it was Vaughan that was doing it all BUT IT was this Disgusting thieving Creep
so Vaughan is welcome back to the VAME for the reason that he IS NOT the cancer in the VAM hobby soon as the other who follow this Disgusting Thieving Creep the better for the hobby all round
there is no bad blood at all with Vaughan being back on the VAME as i know for sure before it get deleted off the AMMO ..yes the VAME is welcome to Vaughan MORE than you ever be
and yes YOU was reported to the police as well but as you made it out that Vaughan was doing it all THAT'S why you didnt get a caution .
none of the stuff the Disgusting Thieving Creep said that happened ever happened it was all this Disgusting Thieving Creep lies

if any the stuff was true ... Vaughan would not have been invited back and Vaughan would not have wanted to come back ..................so the cancer is still telling lies on AMMO and that's the SHAME ......im sure if any one wants to ask Vaughan the truth im sure he will be happy to tell you . SO WELCOME BACK VAUGHAN ...
.............................................................................
as i said its been deleted off AMMO
.................................................................................
so the truth is coming out ..
ps i got it printed out ....

Matt, yes I do remember you warning me about DTC and yes, I did think I knew better at the time, so I hold my hands up to that one. But as for a public apology to you, don't make me laugh. Carol copied the posts that night, when you were on the river having a pint, if you remember. You kept moving the goalposts and treated me like an idiot before you pulled the plug on me. What makes more interesting reading were the posts after the event and pms from various members, some of whom are still on here, saying that you treated me appallingly. So if anyone deserves an apology, its me. But I didn't come back on here wanting or expecting that. I'm just gobsmacked that you do. Well, its not going to happen mate. I have apologised profusely to Daz and Iain privately, and I am more than willing to do so publicly, if they desire. Through our private discussions, we worked out where the problem originated.

Iain, I can't thank you enough mate. Only we know what crap we've been through, and the heartache its caused. To find out I was wrong in accusing you and Daz, made me feel physically sick. Especially more so now, knowing who it was coming from. Read AMMO shout outs and announcements Tues 17 Sept 2013. What a load of rubbish and lies that's been proven to be. And there's a lot more to come. I owe it to Iain and Daz. Thanks again guys.

Matt, lets agree to disagree. I don't want to continue the gripe you have publicly.

I see the ego's still turned up to 11. I wasn't demanding a personal apology, just disappointed that your opening post lacked any humility.

I really couldn't care less about what happened between you and Danthcoat, but I am interested to see any new stuff you've done and if you've got any further with that book.

River + few beers = guilty

hi vaughan did you see the latest flying in and out comment on the ammo ..
he had the cheek to go on about you but soon as he see it made him look stupid he pulled it .. ..
..........................................................
Oh man!!

I have seen it all now,

If they believe his pack of lies then more fool them. At least i stand by what i say about the "Shame" few, i wont
ever deny what i have said in the past and i still feel the same. Wasnt me that contacted the police and it wasnt me that was cautioned
by them either ?? So how this adds up im not sure

One things for sure though Action Mats not easily hoodwinked by him and didnt he share that on the ONLY part of the forum that can be seen by me!! affraid

lol! speaks volumes in itself.

2 posts in and the bad blood is there already No

Your welcome to him "Shame"

Theres your cancer right there!!!!!

....................................
anyway let see some customs

Iain, I missed it! Would love to have seen it. I've just popped over for the first time in God knows how long and guess what? The AMMO shout out I quoted has miraculously been deleted (but I have a copy if anyone wishes to read it). But that's all old hat now. Lets move on with the new stuff.

Matt, the book is progressing full steam. This evening i will post a few customs from te TV and film chapter section. all going very well, thank you. Decided to hold off release till 50th anniversary. Few things to do then I will post pics.

Sounds good Vaughan. A lot of water has passed under the bridge and I'm looking forward to seeing your work again and putting the past behind us.

I'd love to do something fitting for the 50th anniversary. Crumbs - you do realise that's less than 2 years away?

thanks Mike, totally agree. Well said. so sorry I can't say too much but I'm in cahoots with a team making plans for something to commemorate the 50th. Let you know more when i can, but i think all genuine collectors will be taken by this as it will have members of the original design team. Whoops, I've said too much. Damn!

Sierra1 i don't know the story! (earlier comments) and i dont care!! I joined VAME and am mainly a voyeur but have heard about and seen in photos some of your work in the past and I'm hoping to see more now your here! I did like the vintage figure I saw with the custom shouting mouth! (ph soldier was it not?) very different.. Also I saw some tank customs on a 1/6 vehicle site whilst googling stuff! They look great! I hope to see more custom work of yours now you are here!
