I'm not interested in another recasting/ip property debate though inevitably the $.02 peanut gallery will chase their tails again. I was just showing my solution to the boots. As most of you know, a lot of customs involve altering existing pieces to look like something else, sometimes this involves making a mold to produce a better piece, such as Spencer's altered flamethrower wand or these boots. It's simply another tool in the toolbox to yield a certain result. Often original, professional sculpts start off as wax poured into existing molds as a way to get the sizing similar, a tip Trev shared with me. The "recast" is then altered, resculpted and comes out looking completely different. So I would say, and there are laws I stating this same thing (I think it's 1/3) for the litigious Mrs. Kravtis among you, that how much you alter something really does matter. But I do agree that although altered in form and color, I don't think these boots are altered much, and that's one reason I'm not offering them.
I'm not calling you out, just having a laugh at the hypocrites here who are quick to defend their own work/purchases from being recast, yet condone it when it suits their own needs.
