Gareth,
I'm an avid reader of FBTB and I must say I don't think he downloaded your
dat and changed it, however the engines are just TOO similar for it to be
completely his idea. I read the message that Tim put up. I'm dissapointed
in it too. I think Tim handled the situation well, but I dont believe that
there is anyway Darth Dor couldn't have recognized your work. I would like
to know who sent him these pictures. I wouldnt worry though, everyone saw
your model first and when I saw his,(Before I heard all this stuff about
stealing) I said out loud to myself, man that looks a lot like GuyBrush's.
Besides that I think your customs are much better than his, I'm not saying
his aren't good, but it's just like your skill with Custom UCS models You
are a notch above all the other customizers. In the end the good guy always
wins so after this I'm sure that Darth Dor will either a)not copy your
models as closely (if thats what he did) or he will b) not even post his
custom if it looks like yours. I read the caption on your site about not
building more pods because it wouldnt be as much of a building challenge.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE build all 18 (minus the three Lego made) because while
the others may not pose a challenge for you to build, they are quite a
daunting task to others. Your skill is unmatched, keep up the good work.
