Hi guys,
You know I have made a kit or two, very rare for me to do it, but anyway....I have a lot of respect for people in the kit industry, I believe a lot of big companies owe the small almost underground kit industry a lot in terms of excellent artists.... and we have debated to death, the whole moral issue of creating kits based on someone else's work..anyway... regardless of what you may consider moral in that specific aspect, I think stealing someone's idea and blatantly selling it is not cool... I mean inch by inch copying, not just a casual similar look .....
I found these images, for two projects being done by both Avinash, with designs by the Silva's which he paid for, and The awesome Hulk Troy did... please see for yourself..
While neither artist or person commissioning the pieces owns the rights, it is also not cool to steal , or make a carbon copy of their efforts. Please people use your imagination! WHomever is doing this is a good artists, but come on!
