In my opinion this is a direct copy. The only reason this differs at all
from Bram's is probably because he couldn't get all the parts he wanted. To
say that Bram's Diablo is a rendition of the real car is totally beside the
point. Bram spent hours working on this to get every detail and angle just
right. Now someone else has come along and copied Bram's design almost to
the letter.
So you guys that are saying this is no big deal are basically saying all
MOCs are fair game? This makes me want to go through all of your galleries
and pick one of your creations, copy it as best I can, and sell it. No big
deal right?
