Title: Model Drama (Split from Homeworld Remastered)
Post by: The E on February 03, 2015, 01:49:41 pm
I think the horse is dead by now
I think the horse is dead by now

that's what i was saying

ADDENDUM: Also I'm glad Aesaar/Luis managed to find a common point because the thread has become somewhat pleasant again.

Guys, again, if you do not like the direction where a thread is heading, there are ways to deal with that. Trying to pronounce a thread dead or irredeemable isn't one of them, because as you can see, this thread managed to self-correct.

So the next time this happens, do not post **** like this. Report the thread. Make good posts to offset the bad ones. But do not, for the love of kittens, make meta-posts about how the thread is **** and needs to be closed. We clear?

I was commenting on the argument about Cataclysm ships, not the thread as a whole.

Pssst. I'm surprised nobody noticed Hades' latest post.

Probably worth a look. Just saying.

If I am interpreting that Hades' links correctly, not only is someone attempting a profit off someone else's work, they are selling WH40K replicas too. Something, something navy seal copypasta.

That someone else being Hades himself.  That's his needleship model.

Add to that the dubious legality of selling models of ships you don't own the rights to...

The moment the GW people find out, this ship is dead meat...

I hadn't noticed it. It really is painful to witness these kinds of behaviors, and I hope tempest will be able to explain this. It does need one really good explanation.

The ****er has also taken Oddgrim's Mentu.

The site has a report function. Perhaps we should use it.

I wonder if these ships are any danger to us? Because before no one needed to come in and shut us down because we weren't making any money. If someone saw someone making money and traced one of those models back to here, they probably wouldn't care who did what, they'd just drop the hammer.

Guys. The Mentu and the Needleship were NOT MY MODELS and were processed for personal use and were not supposed to be for public sale. I did not know the Needleship and Mentu were visible for sale to people. It was supposed to be for myself. It's obviously super ****ed up to try to profit off of someone else's hard work. That was not at all my intention. Nobody has been purchasing them- My best friend fell in love with your Mentu and Needleship models I showed him and asked for them 3D printed for Christmas.

They have been taken down. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

As for the 40k replicas, BFG ships are no longer sold and specialist games is no longer supported by GW. The project started as a way to allow myself and my friends a way to get the ships that were otherwise only available on ebay for ridiculous prices.

Oddgrim and Hades, I particularly assure you I was not trying to profit off of your work. I'm sure I look like a piece of ****. I'm not trying to make excuses- if you want my shop taken down I understand since that kind of negligence is inexcusable.

This is seriously off topic.
Formal protest.

I'm not upset, it's okay. The whole reason I brought it to your attention was because I didn't want to have to do anything, I wanted to hear your side of the story. Cheers. :)
