hum… i love to see that even MAKE: author didn’t read the licence of object (use of models without link/name to the respective modeler in the tutorial) and give a link to a copy of my weeping angel model i didn’t approve…

even more… MAKE: supporting a model stealer like thingiverse website hurt my eyes…

I totally missed the weeping angel in the main image . You should leave a comment on the article on the MAKE site about the author contradicting himself.

Same, didn’t notice it at first! Yeah, following the link to the design is very convoluted, in which they credit another designer, who then credits you. Would you like me to reach out on your behalf?

Reached out, and I’ll keep you updated via direct email :slight_smile:

Hi, fantasygraph.

I am the author of that Make: article. My apologies for missing that you were the originator of the weeping angel model. I have updated the article with a note saying that the original model is by you, and provide a link to your model on this site. I hope there are no hard feelings.

Thanks Karen, for reaching out and letting me know about the issue. I would never intentionally use someone else’s digital property without properly attributing it.

Also, now that I know about pinshape, I will definitely check out the community!

Andrew Terranova.

I don’t see table top games disappearing anytime soon so there will always be a market for game miniatures. Fantasy Flight Games probably dominates the market with their games and miniatures but it is always great to see new takes on classics. I know many people who still play table top games that have used 3d printers to make add ons to their favorite games.

Thank you, they look really good. I started making a miniature of Prince Arthas in connection with the imminent release of the add-on World of Warcraft Classic: Wrath of the lich king. I gave the first miniature to my friends for the anniversary, and they were happy. By the way, they met back in the days of the original WotLK! We still play WoW, but less often now because I have very little time now due to work and hobbies. A friend recommended the WotLK Boost service to me so that I could level my personal “Arthas”, that is, Death Knight before the start of the add-on on September 23.
