Hello John,

please excuse me for using the word "stolen". It looks like I wanted to say
that you have done it on purpose. I think "nicked" would have been better.
Gotta brush up my english.

PC so I can download ldraw (and play Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine.)

I had been working on an AAT for a while, but was never quite happy with it. I
saw some of those pics I think at Pats contest site, and just modified my
design by eye. As I was modifying my model of a Star Wars vessel with ideas
from someone elses it didn't dawn on me to credit you since you didn't create
the AAT's in the movie (if the model was something wholly original by you,
that'd be different-if I was just re-building a robot you made, then that's
clearly plagiarism.)

Good point. This is why I wrote you "stole" my AAT. It should have been a bit
selfironic because I don´t claim any copyrights as being the creator of this
vessel. But the conversion from the movie-model into a Lego model is my work
of creativity. I feel honored that you have choosen my model to create your
version on the Mac but I also felt dissapointed for not being asked.


However, as a comic-book illustrator I know how frustrating it is when you see
other artists copying your own illustrations without giving you any credit • (and
believe me, this is commonplace and for the most part perfectly legal), so I
will inform Tim at the site to credit your name with that picture. Sorry if I
offended you.

I think we can call it quits. If you want to give credit you can put a link to
my page for where you got your idea...



Or better yet, send him some pics of your models and he'll give you a gallery,
too. I think your AAT turned out better anyways.
