Okay, FWIW the owners of the DW rights know all about this. I told them straight up I was asked to do this for a couple of friends and printed 10 extra sets after they seen a comment somewhere. They said that's fine so long as that's it. And yes, that's it from me.

Also, I have had threats in the past from someone else threatening lawyers etc but my uncle is a patent lawyer so I asked for complaints to be sent to him. Needless to say nothing was received even though I have all contact details. I am not saying what I did was right though but I only posted a thread asking if anyone wanted a plastic redrawn, not printed, and I got a hell of a nasty pm within minutes. I mean if the pm was a bit more polite I would have been a bit more understanding but because it was rude I told him to send the cops, the same goes for the DW.

Although I said I am not going to do anymore I told them to pull there finger out of their ass and do something, keep people updated about licensing etc  or else more black market gear will come out of the woodwork.

Studley, I sent them just standard post so there was no tracking number. I did manage to get some more headbox decals done yesterday so  i do have a back up now.


That's really interesting, Malcolm. I don't think any hobbyists had nearly as much luck with approval to reproduce the art. I guess you had the right advise and it worked out well for Dr Who owners. If the same can be said for other decals sets, you would certainly fill "the void" in the repro market.
