I posted this in the prop section too but as it's kind of a crossover subject i feel it should be posted here too i hope the mods will leave both in place.

DavetheDane aka Piratetrooper recast TE2 stormtrooper armour and is selling it on eBay.
He's admitted this himself it's not an allegation you can find information here.
http://s1.zetaboards.com/propsafe/topic/1866283/1/#new

As TE2 isn't a member then i guess this guys free to carry on recasting this stuff and remain a member here, which has been clarified recently by the staff as the rpf rules state, only recasting rpf members work will lead to action taken.

Anyway i'm just putting you in the picture, if recastings something you don't support then don't buy from DaveTheDane as he goes by on forums or piratetrooper the name he uses on eBay.

Where has that been stated ?

You will be missed! :cool

Kinda funny to me that a "don't care about recasting" guy gives him a lashing.

It's amazing how rip-off artists always play the " I'm the victim here " card isn't it :unsure
 
Whitearmor.net is overrun by recasters and recaster supporters.
They seem to be quite proud of it too.

Sadly it is true,whilst i believe a majority of members do not support recasting, the 501st as an organisation (not all the members) take zero stance against recasting,even if a member flat out says i'm a recaster they will not be banned.
Well that's not strictly true because CAP was banned from the mepd forum for admitting recasting TE, but was then promptly reinstated as a member again because the 501st have no rules on recasting.

Interesting that the whitearmor banner states " Unquestioned loyalty "

CAP,VT,Piratetrooper all openly admit to recasting all members.

CAP was given permission by TE after a deal was made for some suits and helmets. PT is no longer part of FISD as is VT was never a member. The problem is you have new guys come on with these wares of theses makers and are not as informed as others. I have my opinions but I don't go make blanket statements like GINO.

CAP made his deal after the fact, he openly said on the mepd forum that he recast TE without permission, the fact he later made a deal with TE is neither here nor there he's a recaster and an admitted one.
PT is still a member http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showuser=1720 he's basically done what all these people do when they get called out and thrown a hissy fit and hoping for the support to come flooding and look like the victim.
He just wants to see people say don't leave.

The 501st even stated on their main site when the whole CAP/mepd thing went off that they take no stance and have no rules on recasting i think, that was certainly the message relayed as being from the people running the 501st when he was reinstated as a member after being banned.

The 501st ( in my experience ) openly accept and allow recasting. It is us on the prop boards that see the evil of recasting. All they see is an opportunity to get cheap armour. This is something that I've brought to the attention of our C.O. with no responce.

Again - in my experience

The official 501st "rule" is :
Recasting is not encouraged, but not policed.

Flawless, eh?

Whitearmor has no fear in banning a bothersome member, but go ahead and recast anyone so long as it's not TE2(Tony is widely admired, so HIS stuff is protected).

RT casted TE's faceplate and then made a deal. Why is RT accepted? Now we have ATA who is a combo of CAP and TE2 with CAP & Tony's permission. Is then considered recast then too? TE was at one point passing of CAPs stuff as his own. The whole TK lineage is a debacle
 
Actually to make it simple, after TE sold all the stuff to my old partner and myself (back in 2000), anything TE did after that was recasting. Part of our agreement was that he was leaving the hobby for good and passing the torch.
Even within the 'hobby rights' he had no right to grant anyone anything after he passed it onto us.
Everyone besides me and AP are illegitimate (by our hobby standards).
