"How is this for food for thought..............want to clear this whole mess up? Why didn't Shep offer to post up a handful of CLEAR photos of the body he is making available?"

"Since Scott and I are the most familiar with the body he mastered (and I cast) I am sure one of us would quickly point out if it was indeed different."
You are kidding, right? The person that created the item and the person that casts the item are going to be impartial?
The only one that started this "mess" is Scott ,by showing a photo, and making an accusation.
Scott got some good advice early on about the disappointment of someone possibly copying his work.
Since Scott and I are the most familiar with the body he mastered (and I cast) I am sure one of us would quickly point out if it was indeed different..
