Thanks for the feedback guys! Will implement most likely everything you said later!

Something I've been working on lately.. This is for a new team that will most likely be racing supercross this year

Copying gets you in trouble...

I totally know that it isn't "my" design as I kinda recycled it and used it as an inspiration.. But I don't get why is it a bad thing and will get me into trouble?! I mean almost everyone uses real graphics sometimes for their sim stuff as a reference. But since I entirely (re)worked these I don't see any point for you bitching around!

I was just saying because, if they see you have copied it they will be pissed about it..

Why would they be pissed exactly? Last I checked people make replicas all the time.

[Gideon#67]

Only issue I see is if the artwork is copyrighted. Then they may get pissed, but will they be pissed enough to do anything about it? I doubt it. I don't think they'd see it worth their trouble to pursue any legal action.

Honestly i dont see why you guys are making such a big over this.. everyone copies kits. when we make gear.. we are coping a company's design. we we model helmets/bikes. we are coping a company's design. when we making replica's of bikes we are coping a company's design. yet no one has had a problem with it until lars posted a picture of a skin..

I think he was trying to point out how Lar's made it seem as if it was his own design. Although some of it has changed from the original it's not that much.

Looks sick regardless!

You aren't selling it for a profit though, so I'm not sure why they would care

But there's a difference between replica and taking someone else's stuff and making it your own. Sure we replicate a helmet, he didn't replicate the graphics though. I was also under the impression it was his. He said recycled but if you remove the sponsors it's 99% the same. I don't really care but you can't really say it's a replica, it's more stolen then replicated.

An example would be Samsung taking the Iphone and slapping a new logo on it. Is it a replica or are they stealing it?

Yeah but it isn't like he cropped that pic onto his cutout and said it was his. That is stealing.
