I guess it would be up to Jan Rukr, to see if he would be into an unofficial "Loner" type of racer entry. Of course, there's no one stopping anyone from making their own interpretation but this is one of those areas of where you have someone who has given so much to the modeling community, I wouldn't want to sidle in on his creation, especially with something that I really do see fantastic potential with commercially as models, as as an anime style series. I don't understand how such talent can be overlooked?
Z -
Jan is one of those talented people that certainly has earned his place in the modeling world that's for sure - especially with the design of the Nostromo! I concur with Dan that it's about the marketing, but also he's from the Czech republic (all his stuff is in Czech - I guess the Czech is in the mail!). So he's probably known over there it's just over here across the pond that he's only known to a select group of people.
OK I'll be careful not to tread on his designs too much. I just think that some of the ones that he's made that aren't available would be great to build. Although if they are built I'll be happy to pay for the templates / plans / designs. He's certainly earned it that's for sure.
Also, HAPPY B-DAY Zathros / John!
Thanks again for all you do on the forum!
