To me, it looks like he tried to copy my design as close as he could, and just
changed a few things to make his choice of wheels fit and remove the motors.
I never got an email from him about it or anything.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I don't know what to do...

I am new here, but what is it you actually complain about? SO having tried to copy your design? Isn't that what happens every day in eBay that people sell things they have not invented? They even swap parts and still claim that it is the same as set (...) (22 years ago, 27-Dec-02, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.de)

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 (...) (22 years ago, 27-Dec-02, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.de)

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 (...)
