Crunchyn Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Have you done any yet that we could see? And also you might want to put a cap list depending on how quickly you can get these done (which you should also mention the time it takes to finish one)Also, what acrylic resin are you using? Personally I have never heard of it. EDIT: Nvm, EasyCast, ClearCast? Edited June 28, 2012 by CrunchbiteNuva "I could have been a Protector but then I took a stud to the feet."

Inferno630 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Just out of curiosity, did you ask CrunchbiteNuva about this before you made this topic? He may not like the idea of someone else making money on something that he helped work on without due credit, or even at all.Did you ask BNG? They may not like that someone is making money based on the models they made.And lastly, did you ask LEGO? I kind of doubt a business would approve of someone making money off of their IP...Not to be a killjoy, but it may be in your best interests to consider all of these things before selling things based on other's work, even if you are making the masks yourself...

Inferno630 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) That form of selling LEGO-related things is different from this, and likely still isn't approved by them. And in the case of completely custom masks, people have the defense that it's not infringing to be compatible with something. As long as you talk to LEGO before making a transaction, you should be safe. It's better to be safe than sorry. In the future, I'd recommend getting permission from all of the parties before doing something like this, because if anyone says no, there will be some disappointed people who were hoping for whatever service you're offering, and may not do business with you later because of it.BNG is actually a group of people, so I'd recommend contacting We Are Legion (formerly known as MicroSnipe) here.

Crunchyn Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Still doesn't change the fact that you did make this topic with asking either and without proper credit to either party.And it isn't a matter of if LEGO would do something about it, but the possibility always exist, it's still infringed.

Crunchyn Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) I was just very worried about the copyright issues and any repercussions it could have towards me and other people. Like you said, other people have made money doing stuff like this, but I would think those operations are usually all independent, they design and build the stuff themselves whereas here, the design aka pepakura files came from me and BNG. Well that's what I think. You can still use my files for recreational purposes.Another reason I was very cautious about this topic was the lack of pictures. You want to provide this service but how do people know exactly what they're getting? Custom Parts Builders do have examples of their work to show for potential buyers. For future endeavors, I think you need to show pictures of the process of how you would do this just so people can make an informed decision.
