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.

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.

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...
