I would think that copying someone elses idea and building your own version of it would be slightly unethical myself....not wanting to be a party pooper.

Sorry, but, even with the asterisks, even laymen could tell what you were saying there. There is a small shop in York that sells everything of that nature very cheap. pm me if you want more information. (travel costs might up your 100 pound budget up slightly - but you could make a weekend out of it, Yorks a nice place)

All the best,

Indeed it is. York has many fine hostelries, historical artefacts, and walls.

Founded upon the confluence twixt the Ouse and Foss in AD71, it has a very rich Roman and Viking history, even acting as the Roman capital of Britannia Inferior. The great tragedy of York is that, during it's economic downturn during the industrial revolution, many of the Medieval buildings were swept aside to make space for the mills that went too so very soon after. Oh, but you're in a hurry, you crave the stranger's answer...

Someone please help the thread creator before he explodes with ambition at ripping off the creator of the effect he so desperately seeks not to pay for.

:lol:

Firstly, your situation and the ones you describe above are not analagous. Whatsoever. If you're going to try and justify your actions, at least think it through first. I may not like the product, but you clearly do, and you have two options: buying the thing yourself, or making one.

You've gone down the route of wanting to make one yourself, and in doing so depriving the creator of a sale - of an income. If you can't see what's wrong with that...

It's because of attitudes like yours that a lot of the bigger creators are reconsidering releasing their material or not because it's simply not worth their while.

Would you be wanting to perform it had Loughran not released his? Probably not. If you like it, just buy the thing...

Wow, thanks tomo, you learn something every day. Actually though, the walls are just awkward after a few years. And as for that big church. Dont get me started.

No proabably not but he did lol, and i want to make one, your telling me none of you have never made a trick before from something else you liked...............

Im not robbing someone of a sale at all, I want to make a better version that doesnt require a blo*dy trench coat in the middle of summer to perfrom it....I want to make one that fits under a vest or jeans.....

There is nothing wrong with tryin to improve a trick............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil:

I pattern my actions and life after what I want. No two people are alike. You might admire attributes in others, but use these only as a guide in improving yourself in your own unique way. I don't go for carbon copies. Individualism is sacred!

Newp, I haven't actually.

Yes, you are robbing someone of a sale because you're not buying the thing.

Anyhow, you're clearly not willing to look at what you do and I really can't be bothered to keep arguing, so that's my bit (as a creator myself) said...
