steph77 Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Have you seen this design before? I do.. Edited February 4, 2023 by steph77 rage against the machine... Quote
aFrInaTi0n Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) So they copied yours without getting in touch with you? Regulary Reobrix gets in contact with the creators... I will send you a pm with their email-adress to reach out to them... btw: Any manual released from your side? Edited February 4, 2023 by aFrInaTi0n Quote
steph77 Posted February 4, 2023 Author Posted February 4, 2023 No manual version from my part, no. Maybe some other guy build the manual version and sell it to Reobricks. I'll write to them explaining this. Quote
aFrInaTi0n Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I haven't compared in details... may it be just coincidence? Quote
steph77 Posted February 4, 2023 Author Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Honestly i don't think. What has been copied according to me is: - The whole assembly ot the rear stabilisators, - The crane and particulary the telescopic system - The whole bed and it's manual tilting geometry The construction of the frame made it easy to add the gearboxes to switch to a pseudo-manual mode, it due to the fact that this build is +/- modular. They build a new front cab, this part isn't mine. So to summary this i find that the higlighted technical particularity are copied and mixed with third party design. This is why i think there is another guy between my design and the released product. Edited February 4, 2023 by steph77 Quote
aFrInaTi0n Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 If so, still sad.. at least hit up and ask / mention the guys from which one got the good ideas for his/her model. I wish more would follow this.. Quote
Jundis Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 The lower part of the cab seems to be from the 42098, the rest really resembles your build. It's just a shame. Quote
Alex Ilea Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 All my models that I posted on my Rebrickable have been stolen and resold in China WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, either as sets (the BMW) or just as instructions (rest of them). It is sad, but on the bright side, it is proof that my work was good enough to be of interest to "them". Quote

It really is sad and even much worse. However, I really like your attitude and what you make out of this situation: It is proof of your fantastic work! Best regards, Thorsten Quote
