As already stated, if you can show me without a shadow of doubt that my helmet comes from yours, then I'll stand corrected and stop making it.
Well you actually said: "
If someone can provide concrete proof that my Predator 2 pattern is derived from Keiths helmet - complete with tells, then I will consider stopping production of it"
Anyway Steve, this is not a witch hunt. Stop being such a martyr and trying to get people to feel sorry for you. If other people find stuff that they have sold to you being copied and sold by you on ebay under one of your ebay names and make a post about it in this thread, thats between you and them and nothing to do with me.
Here are some photos showing the tells on my helmet:
The rim around the bottom of the eye was made like this by me. It was much thinner before and chipped away. I built it up and made it thicker and clean like this.
These lines were cut in and made sharp like this by me:
These last two holes were drilled in by me. Nothing more than faint marks on the original.
This bottom to the chin was made by me. It the first time i ever used fiberglass. I glued some metal mesh into the bottom of the helmet, fiberglassed over it, filled it and then sculpted the texture into it before drilling the air holes. Like i said before, this was a mistake, as it turns out the stunt never had the bottom to the chin, only the hero helmet did.
This is how it looked before:
You have not posted a picture of the bottom of your helmet though.
Steve, i couldn't care less if you are banned, not banned, leave, don't leave, or even become a moderator on the rpf.
Can you please let me know if you agree with what i am going to say. If you don't agree with any of it, can you say which bit.
Around three years ago you bought a helmet from me then you asked for an unpainted one and bought that from me.
A short while after, you sold both of them, you then bought a job lot of helmets (with the same tells i put in) to paint up and sell on. You then bought a mold and started casting them yourself and selling those (casts also have my tells that i put in).
Is the above correct?
So after you bought a painted helmet from me you then asked for an unpainted helmet from me. A short while later you sold both the painted and unpainted helmets i sold you, but i noticed that you continued to sell more and more of the helmets with my tells on them on ebay.
When i asked you why you recast the helmet and are selling them on ebay, you said that i got the wrong end of the stick and that you bought a bunch of helmets cheap to paint up and sell. When i told you they were recasts as they have the tells i put in, you said you wouldnt buy and sell anymore of them. I let it go and didn't post anything about it on any boards.
Around two years later, I find that you are still selling them under yet another ebay name, but you now say that you bought the mold off a source and didn't mold it yourself. It just so happens that both the bunch of helmets you bought cheap to sell on and the mold you bought both have my tells that i put in.
If other people are selling the helmets with the tells i put in, it probably has something to do with the fact that you have been selling them on ebay under at least three different ebay names for the last three years.
As for all the other stuff like the trooper helmets and T2 busts, i don't believe any of it, but that just my opinion.
I don't know why you have at least three ebay accounts. The ones i know of are: eddiebrock1, serafina_kiki and bay12replicas.
Anyway, i don't have anymore time for this crap. I've got better things to do.
Thanks wackychimp for hosting,
Keith.
