Regardless, its not exactly stealing someone else's work. He would still have to do his own artwork, which takes many hours, or commission someone to do it which costs quite alot - this is what S27 do anyway so they don't own the artwork. On top of that there are the manufacturing costs involved. So, he's not exactly making a profit on the back of others when he's forking out for the cost himself, its not the same as bumping off mine of S27's resin kits.

Also its quite possible that he has commissioned the same guy who does S27 stuff to do his. I know for a fact that he will happily give you the artwork for a decal set commission by S27 and just rearrange it for you, its his work afterall.
