As a huge fan of Nosports' work I would like to voice a serious concern about the legitimacy of these models being a "complete redesign"
I have had copies of his models for years and have spent many hours studying the parts sheets and build pics of his finished models not to mention spending a great deal of time building more than one of them and can quite honestly say I see very little difference in your models at all apart from a few changes here and there, I think the moderators who have rushed to approve your butchery of his work should spend a bit more time looking into this before condoning what you have done.
You have obviously based a great deal of your work on his original models, where are your "work in progress" pictures of the design process? If you indeed created these from scratch you will also still have "original" files to show us some evidence that you did indeed create these yourself.
First off, thanks for your comments.
Yes the models of the truck and excavtor are based on copies of nosports, and yes I have reworked them my changes, now if you look
VERY carefully at the artworks of the Truck and Excavator you will see that I have indeed
included Chriess name on the artworks of those two models only. so in terms of the legitimacy of the models I AM making note of the nosoprts A.K.A. Chriess.
My devlopment photos are that of the finished items, I did not take photos of the devlopment models and I never intended to ever.The artworks were drawn from scretch and updated in the way that I was happy with them to make it buildable without having to think again of I did or what one who builds these models have to do to get it to work.
Now in terms of the trailer and mobile Crane arm, THOSE design are
MINE, I do not see any where on the internet any design that looks like that or even teying to make a model like that.
Mobile Crane arm was designed from a handful of cellphone pictures that I took when a arm was in working on it task at hand.The model was designed in 3D and from there built and modified until correct.
The Trailer is based on many designs out on the road and of which I made it up as per what I wanted it to look like and do, that of move the excavator.

P.S. the models are all now ready for download.
