I *WILL* be doing this - I have the resourses - the time - and the will!
Copyright owners need to understand that they can't prevent people from repairing their machines.....
What if Ford (the car manufacturer) said that nobody could make a replacement windscreen wiper blade for a 2010 Falcon? They would be picketed and shamed into oblivion!
The owners of this "image" can BUGGER OFF! If they don't want to make it and sell it at a sensible price (and it seems they don't) then someone will!
this is my thought on this sort of thing also. ford has stated that having aftermarket parts sells cars. and if people want genuine ford parts they will buy genuine
also i was thinking about this the other day, have you seen those 3d cameras? i saw at jbhifi the 3d print from a 3d camera, and is is just holo what if you just used a 3d camera on a toy and got them to print the 3d image recon that would work? if you were to experiment and place the toy at the right angle and take verious photos you could get the same look, and go to those 3d print places at jb and print them out for a few dollars each i recon you could easily get the same effect if not better than original
