Welcome to the world of Studio Scale and prop collecting, kid. (He says, feeling somewhat old suddenly.) Sadly, not an uncommon practice..........companies and individuals.

Yes they did, and without any concern at all. I was not the only one either.
I found the auction from the Junkyard for the 2 footer. The auction is over but there are a few pictures that you can see of the ship.

Were the different sizes different versions or were they all the same?

I know I don't speak for everyone but I'd much more prefer a kit of it. When I was 10 I had that small lindberg kit and murdered it:lol , but that was of the "captured" one.
I got out before they started pimping employees on pay. Thank goodness.

I guess that I would actually prefer a kit to a finished product as well, as long as it was studio scale. It sounds like this thread is dumping salt in to some open wounds on the Icons issue. I had no idea what had happened with Icons or that people were taken advantage of.
Some more info: The first 2 and 4 foot pulls were painted by a guy by the nickname of Dragon (if memory serves). He finished the 2 footer an put it on the conference table next to the original. He was the only person who could tell which one was the original, his painting was that dead on. There were many shades of green and silver. Like most of the SS replicas, the first few were hand painted by a small group of talented people. Later the assembly line of god knows who came in. So in a sense if you got a really low number X-wing, ID4 attack ship etc., you got a superior paint job.

I have a 2' footer that I got with the Aliens ship from an RPF'er here.
The ID4 even lights up and the base is on a piece of the mother ships
surface.
The 2' footer detail rocks. I can only imagine what a 4' footer would look like.
If you get it please send pics!!!

"always been curious, where did Chauser get ALL his molds?? He seems to have everything from C3PO to the Ark of the Covenant and much more."
Anyone? :confused

I believe Chauser is just making copies of licensed replicas, like Don Post Statues... can anyone else verify this?

Chaucers work sucks - plain and simple.
I bought a Narcissus from him - He packed it in a flimsy box that was a couple inches larger than the model - around 2 foot.
He then filled it with popcorn chips - no bubblewrap - but did NOT fill it all the way (HE SKIMPED ON POPCORN CHIPS) so it was like an egg in your underpants - its bound to crack and piss you off.
He then sent this pathetic excuse for a packaged model around the globe.
He clearly has no respect for models and or he is a moron of the highest order.
I got a replacement after months of false promises only by making myself look like a chumpcustomer pretending I was going to buy a c3po off him. When he thought he had that business as I suspected he sent me the replacment.
I`d stay WELL clear unless you like dramas.
ALso the replacement was warped..and he still packed it in an undersized box - this time with newspaper - at least it was FULL of newspaper.
RUN AWAY! Do without an ID4 attacker.
Also is he not banned form here for similar conduct?

Since George can't reply, I'm posting this for him:
"This original Fox Mold casting was acquired from an ex-Icons employee that was given these in lieu of payroll payments. This Attacker was never planned to be produced by Icons Authentic Replicas, but four were cast from the original Fox Studio molds while on loan to Icons. This black grey 1630 coated City Destroyer has all of the detail parts and is highly detailed, these miniatures were used in the film. This is not a replica, this is an actual pull from the Fox Studio Molds. This piece is exactly 4’ across, it’s massive and very cool! Ships UPS insured for the full amount and we would like to sell this in the US only! Price is $2100 plus 3% (paypal) plus $180 for shipping

I had to upload the pics offsite, but here they are:
