What did they steel, was it Id's or actual build stuff, I thought the Y wing master was sold to MR surely they didn't just take it without permission ?
If it's ID's then that's what I've been saying for years now that when others hard work goes into someone else's profit it's hard to puce but very often over looked etc but still happens.
It's a tough thing to police and think it may have improved more recently but would be interesting to hear what was stolen and how. I'm guessing Y wing ?
Clearly you feel this was a wrong doing and hard work should be rewarded etc, did you not receive anything from MR or would they have even been aware of your involvement in the work that was stolen ?

I ask out of general interest not as questioning truth thing, just interested to hear how you got hood winked on such a large project as a mass produced model.
I know now that unless you keep info to yourself it's going to get leaked, I turned this to my advantage with id'n Slave especially the cockpit I happily traded all I'd found even if I'd got one in return as I had a better chance at a more accurate build and to me that was my goal, I can't wait to see people build the Slave kit and have a sense of pride knowing that mutual trading we improved it. If I hadn't of agreed though then to see it go to profit would be hard to watch but I feel excited seeing the work go to good use now. Though is efx mass marketed it I'd feel owed somewhat, but seeing the nice'n kit coming out is a great thing.
I keep control of all my own terms now and have enjoyed this so much more since.
