I have been in contact with the PTB and the problem with the T3 model was the fact that I had put the name in the thumbnail. And the fact that Thunderbirds is a trade mark Since I didn't for the Blakes 7 model (and Liberator isn't a trademark) there wasn't a problem. They also asked that I remove the option for commerical use. I won't post the email I got from the PTB, but they seem happy that people post fan models, as long as they don't say they are fan models. If you've had a fan based model removed even though you didn't list a trademark, I think it may be worth contacting the PTB's, since as was mentioned, that does seem to be a selective enforcement. The other ships, Cruiser 100 for example was just me mucking around with Wings and although has influences from probably hours misspent watching sci-fi, I don't think it's a direct copy of anything in particular. I meant no offence with any of the postings. I'm learning Wings, came up with models that I wanted to share, but didn't want to or think of charging for and since I've seen so many other fan based models out there, I assumed it was OK to post. Sorry to have upset any of you in these times of goodwill. Merry Christmas all.
