I got my answer last night via email (if anyone wishes to discuss it they can email or PM me :) ) and by request of a good friend of mine on the AL forums I've removed any links or reference to the people in question.

Exactly.
And I realized that artwork ONLY for Taz Vader to forward it to Ssdesigner for this project...:unsure
 
Re: Recast Alert - Alien Legacy Member "nuclearsphinx" - READ ON...

I noticed that under the picture of the Carter Burke card are the words "This is the item you will recieve[sic]", so it could be that he has just the one and is selling it.

It is possible that he purchased one directly from Taz and that he could even be a member here. If so, Taz might be able to assist in outing this person.

That's ok if this is the case about that card, but the shirts aren't out yet, and I've submitted the artwork only to Ssdesigner.
 
I talked with him through PM's on the A.L. board a few times about his 1/35th scale Colonial Marine models.

He was really pushing me to buy one...to much money for something that size though.
And I thought I had seen the same models talked about somewhere else, but that doesn't mean they are recasts. It could have been the same info posted by him somewhere else.

Other than that, there's not much more I can tell you.
 
And the JY thread was started WAY after I've finished my work (working closely with TazVader, since I'm not a huge Alien fan;))
 
Larry lives in the States not Australia:)

The card is not copied He got permission from me an my prop partner to sell our version.

He's seen the shirt designs and was told not to post them up. They are not his to use. Seems he ignored that LOL

That's a no go for sure Ram...Grrrrr

Sigh...that is not Larry.

Here's the lowdown....I had Ramiel make the design for me. My idea ect ect

I asked SS if he could maybe do a run so I could get a t-shirt for me and Ram ect.

When It didn't look like there was much interest early on, I asked my mate (linked above in the previous post) if he could get a few made up so I could give one to Ramiel as a surprise as well as one or 2 for me and a few for himself. Ramiel and I have worked/working on a few things together and it was going to be a nice gift for Ram.

So my mate got a few done. Out of our pockets. Enough to cover the costs of the screen print, One I was sending to Ram (Surprise!!!). Then after all that SS finally has enough folks in on the run. No big deal. That would mean 2 T-shirts from Ram LOL

So anyways...This Larry guy contacts my mate as he saw the Carter Burke Cards we did together. He wants to sell them ect and do some other Aliens stuff with him. My mate showed this Larry the t-shirt in conversation but told him in no uncertain terms it was not to be used for his site(I hadn't given permission nor had Ram) This Larry then goes and posts it on his site as well as the Carter Burke cards...which was ok. Just not the t-shirts.

My mate put a few left out of the run and his daughter's on ebay to make his cash back. I was okay with that as they are quite obviously inferior to SS shirts. So nothing shady was going on until this Larry guy got involved. My mate has since killed all links from his other items at Larry's site ect ect Also relaying his displeasure ect

The funny thing is...whilst Larry was saying to my mate that I was selling Carter Burke cards, and also that I didn't know what I was doing. I don't think he pieced together I actually worked with my mate to create them LOL This is all ridiculous. I didn't even want to get into an online thread discussion about this but macel70 is a standup guy. Not a crook in the least. He has always treated everyone fair. I also would like to add that I feel I have a good rep as being fair in my sales and not over charging on my runs ect. So if I was a recasting-cash hound....it would be pretty obvious. I just hate chiming in on these type of threads as you always end up sounding pathetic.......LOL

Sadly, I feel that not only are folk going to look sideways at my mate's auctions and work from now on... but I guess also at me now too:(

Anyone wants to talk further to me about it feel free. My PM and email : christianmurfet@aapt.net.au is open. But please...keep it civil?

Cheers
Christian

Thanks Taz for helping to clear things up. The only thing that really matters in the end is that fairness prevails and everything is on the up-and-up :):thumbsup

Couldn't agree more mate. I guess it is good to have folk blowing whistles. There are a lot of rippoffs out there.

On another side note....I had another T-shirt idea ;)

Taz, I'm sorry if I added to the confusion about the seller I posted. I was looking to buy some stuff from him, but then I was surprised when I followed his link to the other page where I saw things from the RPF on it. If you say Macel is a good guy ,then I have no problem buying from him. I trust the members of our little community :)
 
No need to appologise but thanks for the gesture mate:) I really gotta go to bed LOL

Yes...I will vouch for Marcel 100% and then some. It's good that you posted that post. If the person had been a scammer you would have saved some folks alot of dollars:)

Tell him Taz sent you BTW......might get a discount LOL
