   And here, someone once did a great spaceship looking like one of mine. As i said, I am sure it was a coincidence, but it was still very similar IMHO. It did annoy me a little, but since I felt it was even better than my own model and I didn’t think he did copy (maybe he never even saw mine before), I didn’t worry about it.

It is a totally different story with Lee however.

   Now comparing at Chris’ S.M.A.C and Terry’s Donkey I see stylisitic similarities but not plagerism. The two models appear to be different scales. The Donkey looks like a bigger ship to me. The SMAC looks like it has a significant break in the middle where the Donkey is a more solid, single hull style construction. Chris’ SMAC also uses many of the elements that he is known for with his PCS ships. However, I see stylistic similarties but I think they are different enough to say that perhaps Chris didn’t neccessarily use the Donkey as a point of referece to create the SMAC.

Agreed. Furthermore, I believe Chris drew inspiration exclusively from this picture: http://www.livethenow.com/neutron/ConceptArt/ships/Ramjet01_sm.jpg

Both are fine ships, as well.


I hope you guys (including Marc Sandlin) didn’t think I thought i was copied on! As I said, my ship and Chris’ are similar, but i don’t think he even saw mine when he did his. I never meant to accuse Chris, let that be clear please!

I was pointing out the similarity between the two ships as an example at how easy it could be for someone to accuse someone else of copying. And we can see here that similarities can come from 2 different sources! Mine was inspires (very very remotely) by Albator’s ship, the Arcadia.
