Im currently working on a Giant space marine Dreadnought, made out of paper from a template.

I didnt make these templates, if you want to download them, go to this post on CMON:

I modded the templates slightly to allow the arms and hands, and barrel of the auto cannon to move, but it basically the same as the templates. Any tips, comments, constructive criticism would be good.

it looks great but doesnt this infringe on GWs IP?

no more than making your own out of green stuff. since it's not a "playable" model and he doesn't make it for money I don't see why they would bother. Personaly I would consider this as free advertising. :)

 

 

 

please to see someone finaly doing something out of paper Not to save money!

 

 

Amazing stuff

Holy :) ! That's awesome!!!

No it doesn't. As per GW's legal website:

Conversions

 

Conversions are a major aspect of the hobby, although in intellectual property terms, they also constitute a major infringement. However, we are certainly not about to stop people making cool conversions of our products, although, there are certain things to keep in mind:

 

Please do not combine our intellectual properties with IP owned by any third parties.

Your conversions should be one-time, unique masterpieces of hobby goodness. Do not create a production run of conversions for sale. Whilst infringing our IP, this is also simply not hobby.

 

Casting

 

Do not cast any materials that are based upon Games Workshop material. Games Workshop has to maintain a strict policy on this to fight counterfeiters. We would also remind you that reproduction for personal use is NOT an automatic exclusion in respect of copyright protection in many territories worldwide.

 

Ergo you are allowed to create one-off conversions that adhere to the GW universe as long as they are one-off creations for personal use and not for resale.

i understand and think its great but sadly GW are sticklers for IP regs

 

@iron father Rik, the fact that there is, and he 'used' a template is the concerning bit

very cool.

 

as for the IP infringement.....

 

not really on zedarkangel's part, but more so on the distributor of the template.

the distributor shouldnt be blamed either, cause it is basically just a 3D CAD file that has been converted into a template with a program, with no intent of making money, or taking credit for the design.

 

Outfriggingstanding!

 

This is something I would really like a crack at for the shelf. Are you making the plans up as you go along or are they downloadable files???

 

Bully

i didnt make the plans, and im trying to upload them atm

 

This thing is awesome ! Can't wait to see it finished !

Are you going to "paint" it ? If so, which chapter would it be ?

Ill probably be painting it, and if i do, ill paint it Dark angels theme, to fit in with the rest of my army

I just started to download the templates (not that I'm going to build it, I have too much on my hands already...) but that is one hell of a RAR for some PDFs.

Haha, yeah. Its got a comlete set of the templates in Blood angels colour scheme, Ultra Marines and blank. Each set has extra arms, plus there are picture instructions for each part :ph34r:
