There's a difference between being inspired and blatantly copying without credit

Well I am copying the ships, but I did say where I am getting the designs from in an older post.

I always copy my own designs and don't give credit.

This is an inspired ship.
Build:
Original
This is a stolen ship.
Build:
Original:
Note that it: looks bad, is improperly scaled, and accomplishes nothing because someone has already visualized it in a much more concise and aesthetically appealing fashion. I can't force you to do anything, just voicing my opinion here.

You're sure that's not just a
Gladiator-class Star Destroyer, stolen in exactly the same way you described?

Dammit Revan.
But that just proves decent ships aren't made by copycatting other people's designs.

But if the ships what this artist made are good in my opinion and the ships I copied are good too (In my opinion).

There's something to be said for making a replica of an iconic ship, but if you're going to do that you need to be really careful to make sure you do it exactly right. Neither of the ships Tiel posted are done exactly right. In fact, they're both done very wrong.

No, not at all XD. But the replicas I'm making aren't from "iconic" ships.
