Thanks guys! I was really struggling today. I know it was the right decision but I keep having a second guessing type feeling.
We did get the teeth that where affected pulled. The one problem was that the vet couldn’t get all of the root on one of the teeth out. I think that’s why it stayed painful and awful.
OMG Have fun Grayfire!! I cant wait to see pics of where you guys go!! 🙂
I will! I’m planing on trying to get a bunch of color reference photos to! :3
Have fun grayfire! Don’t get rained on too much >.<
LOL I’ll try not to get rained to much but I do loooove rain so I hope I get at least a little bit. 😀
I just had a short conversation with Alan, our copyright attorney, and we will continue to discuss this next week but I believe I had misunderstood, or misremembered, a discussion we had a few years ago and I am probably not correct in what I first posted. LupusLunae has probably got it right (and thanks for jumping in Lupus!). My apologies to all, especially Pam, if this is the case, and it does seem like it is.
This is not an issue that we have ever had to litigate or one that I have done any real research into. The legal problems we have had concerning copyrights have always been ones of infringement and fair usage that include removal of copyright notice, trade dress, etc.
Does that mean we want to allow or disallow posting of re-painted pieces? We really don’t want to encourage re-painting. Re-pairing, restoring, that’s fine but re-painting of production pieces is, for us, a royal pain when these pieces are re-sold and confusion takes hold in the re-sale market. Breyer has used re-painting as a very well honed marketing tool to sell their horses and grow their customer base, but look at the original product. I don’t think I could ever view them as analogous to Windstone and our original product.
I am for removing re-paints from the forum and making it policy to not allow the posting of production re-paints, period. The PYO’s are designed and intended to be owner painted, sold, whatever and I don’t see any benefit to Melody or Windstone in the posting of images of re-paints of our production pieces.
Thank you very much! I was pretty confused with all the information but this makes it super understandable! I’ll dismantle my repaint thread 😀
Someone asked about this, I don’t remember, it was brought up somehow, and I remember melody saying that dragons are a lot harder to paint than unicorns.
BUT I think she did say she had the makings of baby poad grab bags in the works but I don’t know what happened with that.
Ooh I missed that conversation! I can see how curlies would be difficult. I would love a grab bag baby poad though!!
I do both to. Usually I make a good base and then go over it with hand and work my way through blending-detail blending-detailing-and finally the toush ups before spraying sealant.
