Update time
🕑 Added 2017-11-22 04:56:40 +0000 UTC Heya!Firstly welcome to the new Patreons, we are now at 71 coming closer to that Xmas goal of 100!
Next issue preview is coming along, I decided to throw more parts in for the TFA storm trooper kit in so it can be done in a few issues rather than four as it's ready to go no point in having it sitting here. This also includes parts with and without the buckle/clips as I know some people were after those.
Jabba static will also be included in the next upload round for those who want a static display rather than poseable.
I also just wanted to touch on something I just read on facebook, and that is some clown called "Red Carlson" who stated that I am under investigation for copyright infringement.
This is entirely untrue. In the 7 years I have been making models to print there is only ONE model that was acted on from a take down request, and that was only a couple of weeks ago on Thingiverse where they took a Vader print of mine down. Now - they did not take the one down from Cults or ANY of the other websites.. just thingiverse.
They also took down flowalitisk low poly darth vader and a handful of other Darth Vader 3d prints - but only on thingiverse.
I did not receive an email, letter, warning or anything- Thingiverse simply just took it down - so if that's what he is referring to, ok I know what it is - but other than that I can assure you, I am not under investigation.
Anyone who knows anything will tell you they don't do that, they send you a nasty letter called a Cease and Desist before they spend any money chasing anyone - that's how lawyers work and as I said, no letters or emails have ever been sent to me.
So rest assured, not going anywhere :)
Posting more soon, just have to finish couple things off!
cheers
Geoff.

Another site I buy stuff from have they logo on the model somewhere. I know it wont stop pirates but at least someone along the way will come to your site and check you out and signup. Given the little costs involved and I just cant see why people cant pay a small fee. I buy from other sites at $20-$30 a model so being a Patreon for you and another person (Mr Baddley) it is very cost effective and you get great feedback and support. Hang in there.

I was wondering what happened in that thread, all of Reds comments got deleted. That really sucks man that you have to spend time dealing with this crap instead of making awesome stuff

It turns out Red was the person that reported me to Disney! he admitted it happily in an email to me, all because I would not give him free files. Yes, it's that black and white. He is in the file sharing group that we have had so many problems with!!! Their revenge for me asking to stop sharing my patreon files was to report me. Also, sadly someone here screenshotted my patreon post and sent it to Red himself, so that means we still have another Rat onboard the ship, time to weed him out. I am over this BS, time to get serious.
