Well for those of us who love armor and try to create fan-made armor and spend countless hours hand sculpting our treasures…it is very unfortuante when we run across a blatant recaster of our work. And this week, it appears that there may be another recaster of my work out there. This seems to be a regular occurrence and is very frustrating…especially when the recaster is trying to sell their recasted knock-offs as original handmade items. Those of us who really and truly know our armor would recognize the flaws that always become apparent with recasters. But for some people it is much more difficult to tell the difference in quality from an online photo.
So to those who have my back and alert me to the recasters who cheaply copy my work, I send you a great thanks.
And to those out there who are too lazy or not properly equipped to make your own handsculpted molds and to pull your own plastic, you will be discovered. That is a simple fact.
Luckily for me, there are many, many more good guys in this world, than bad guys and for that I am grateful.
I was able to know your work and was lucky. The shining one is not necessarily gold. Your effort and studying appear at work. It is a reason supported to more good guys.

Couldn”t agree more, Dan. Having just completed my Galactic Marine back pack, I will join you in having to eventually see it recasted. It’’s sad there is a market for low-quality recasts either out of ignorance or lack of a discriminating eye.
