Chinese Pirates

[sd0324]

We all know about the Chinese recasters that peddle their junk on Ebay, but now they've gone too far! They stole a picture of a bust I painted and posted here to use for their listing.



Now I'm mad at China.

Easy ... just stop consulting Chinese online shops ... for anything
For info and for the fun
Solar Panel give you free electricity and no pollution
But .. but .. but .. to compensate the pollution in a country making electricity with charcoal, you need 30 years per panel
So a good european management would be 1) made them here a) far less pollution in making b) with new european technologies, better yeld in electricity production (not the old one we gave them and that is now 40 years old ) c) provide work to your resident

Don' t even use something like Tok-Tok their pollution is 4 to 5 time greater than when using fakebook or amstramgram
You didn't knew : your kid who communicate all day long with is EPotato about .... euh .. about nothing, pollute in 1 year as much as a car on a 1000Km trip

Welcome to the internet. Anything you posted will show up on Google search.
In the past I had posted my pdf oil painting guides and pdf Samurai references here on PF and somehow they were ended up on some paid to download website without my knowledge.
Recently one of my pictures was posted in a thread looking for assembly instructions for their re-released of the kit without my consent.

Its a shame your work was used for unscrupulous reason's Steve, but I have to say that is great work, the Shemagh especially is outstanding!...like the other Steve, I had not seen this before either.

Cheer's,
Jeff.

Talked about it here when I saw it, but also didn't appreciate when Masterclass "borrowed" a picc also posted here for some box art! Didn't even get credit for the paint. Lol. Oh well.

I had the same experience Steve with my Castle Miniatures (now Masterclass) bust:-

As did Eduardo ("Edorta").
Checking the Masterclass site, you are now listed as the painter of the Viking, as am I for the Cuirassier:-

Cheers,
Andrew

I remember chatting with you about that Andrew. I was not aware that they had given me credit, how very kind of them. Thanks for letting me know this.
