Quote - Now it's like winning at the Oscar's.  You're expected to tell everyone how you made it and thank everyone who helped make it all possible.  Only you don't get a gold statue.  ;-)

:laugh: And I imagine there are a few stinkers produced that you wouldn't want your name associated with. Since there are a few who insist we should feel obliged to give them free advertising after we purchase their products, I have to ask: How many modelers credit their inspirations? I see an awful lot of models copied from movie props, clothing designers, furniture designers, car designs, etc. If you make a car model based on a real body, you are using someone else's design (someone did design that car body, you know) and making it yours. And then some get all high and mighty about others not giving THEM credit for using their models. More of the usual selective fairness -- whatever is in my best interests. If you really believe crediting is important, than follow it through past your own self-interest and credit all who deserve it. Your list will take up a good page or two.
