Hello everyone. It's been a long long time since I posted on these hallowed forums.
Anyway, tonight I was Google Image searching, and came across a page on Shapeways with models being sold, some of which were originally designed by a few friends of mine. I know their work, and remember seeing the WIP shots several years ago. I made them aware of the situation so they can take action, which they now are.
One of my friends though, he came across on the same site, another user, that was selling my own ship as his own!! Below the body of this post you'll find links to not only my ship that was stolen, but also to my friend's ship as well.
I'm making this post, just in case, there are artists here on these forums that might also be victims.

Hmmm... he's still selling your model, but now he thinks it's okay since he's giving you credit.
Justice will prevail. You good people will win. One way or another. I will keep you in my prayers so that what is wrong will become right and what is right will stay right.
Was the Thief ever caught?
