Hi everyone,
Sticky subject time....
I've noticed a few recasting threads popping up here and there recently.
First off, I cannot be a hypocrite. I have one of Noels 1/48 Ultimate Strike valk recasts(does it matter that I have 2 authentic Club-M 1/48 kits? not sure...LOL). I was excited it came out, and many were sold in public on these boards without the MW hammer coming down.
I see a similar Monster thread right now. Ok, its the first major fan recast since the 1/48, and it is rare as hell. Even being done by a very dedicated member here. Maybe once in a while one of these public fan projects is ok...stirs up the creative 'juices' and re-energizes many in the group.
Now I see another one for the 1/48 YF-21 saying 20 requests are needed.
Who is right? Who is wrong? Is it moral? Does it hurt anyone? If it wasn't for the WF limit to 20 kits...If I already own 2 originals...There are only 10 ever made...It'll never be made again...The original creator's company is defunct...I tried to get an original but the creator wouldn't do it...
Not going to get into the arguments above-my own opinions differ a little on each specific reason as do most of yours, but thats not the point, I'm not going to preach, I'm only going to say one thing.
Lets just keep being the respectful community we are and not go nuts with this recasting stuff.
Thank you!
Shawn
