Well, I contacted the seller, and he apologized.  He admitted that he had • been
inspired by my model and built a similar car.  Then, in order to get rid • of
some white parts and Ferrari wheels, he built another copy to sell.  He
mentioned that this was a one-time-only deal, and that he hadn't expected • his
actions to upset anyone.  I had hoped he would close the auction or • compensate
me in some way for using my design, but it looks like an apology is all I • can
hope for.  Hopefully in the future, he will be more careful about giving • credit
where credit is due.

I am sorry to read that you still feel you have more rights here. Hopefully
you never build (and sell) something someone else has already built before
(regardless if you know about it or not).

Do you have an idea, how many versions of the STARWARS Falcon-fighter exist?
all inspired by the movies?

I hope this is not going to become a "war", but until the situation is more
clear, you should remove ALL pictures from your webpages!

Reg.
Matthias
