Chest of Colors forum

All four frauds were already proved. Now we're awaiting the consequences...

I thought I would suggest this to you in regards to the fraudulent
painter. It appears that ebay user thor867 bought the models entered.
As a ebay seller, you may want to report him to eBay for what he has
done. They may be able to suspend or cancel his account.

Hi Guys,

First, I miss you all, recently just busy at some other stuffs, no painting and less browsing the forum, but I do really miss u all.

And, I already briefly looked at the discussion here. I am here to say that I totally dislike such behavours. I think their point is all about twisted pride, ego and finally are tempt to do it. They surely know it is wrong and they still do it as their greed for flame covers their intuitive ability to know right or wrong.

Guys, just wonder what you guys (or may I say we?) will do? For example, report to the GW? post it to some widely browsed forum? And did they get the trophy?

Anyway, I support you guys all the way.

Hosea, I believe the fraud was already reported to the GD staff (which means: GW) and you can already read about this situation on many internet forums. As far as I know none of these works won a trophy, or at least so I hope...

Cool, thx for all of you guys good work!!

I'm sure the Judges do their best to keep on track with who is who out there, as most times the Judges are big fans of beatifull painted figures too...

But not everybody is a fan of the internet or simply doesn't have the time and resources for keeping track. That's why such things can slip through and these things happen. It's up to us to keep check on these kind of things and help out wherever we can!

My understanding is that it has generally been figured out who did this, and there are plans to discuss this with him at a local event this weekend. (from a friend that was there and has kept up with the situation)

That's what I've gathered also... Good that they are atleast trying to do something.

Just to poke fun, here is something stolen from another site about this..

Pro-painted models from eBay...$300
Atlanta GD ticket...$40
One lousy third place, disqualification and worldwide ridicule...YEAH, PRICELESS!

There are some things money cant buy, for everything else there is this tired, recurring joke.
