Check out this extremely talented modeler

Wow Jim. All I can say is wow. That is some really wonderful modeling.
-
I hate to point this out, but I think one of the head gaskets is about .0000000001" too thick. Ruined the whole model for me.

Rechecked the head gasket thickness and they are both within Fords' spec. tolerance range. You need to get your measuring devices re-calibrated and/or start using your good eye.
On a serious note, I stumbled upon a situation that causes me great concern. While surfing for project reference information, I found a Ford 427 v8 SOHC 3d model for sale on TurboSquid. My model being sold by someone else. I have had this model posted on my Google docs page as a shared file (my bad)for about 6 months. In the future, any sharing I do will be on an invitation only basis. I really enjoy seeing others utilize my models in their projects, but openly advertising and selling them in original state is not acceptable by me.
What have the rest of you experienced along this line and what are your opinions?

I am in agreement with you, in principle. However, you did provide the model in the warehouse supposedly open to all. I don't know all of the rules or disclaimers in regard to the warehouse.
My personal position on this is that, regardless of all else, I would respect the owner's intellectual property. And, as a matter of pride, I would try to originate my own material, then failing this, I would seek permission or license or purchase. -
I think this is despicable! I have been in contact with Turbosquid, and they said that they will verify the situation and their copyright agent will contact me tomorrow.
If I get nowhere with this, I will buy the model just so I can post a review of it and let people know that it is stolen and if they want the original they can get it free from the SU Warehouse. Hopefully that will prevent the buttwipe from making any more money off of your efforts, and maybe will alert others that he is a shady character not to be trusted.
I'm so sorry this happened
, I hope it doesn't sour you on posting your wonderful models. -
Below is part of an email received from Turbosquid Customer Support
*Could you please provide us with information on what model you are referring to and who the rights truly belong to? We take copyright infringement very seriously and will bring this matter to the attention of both parties as soon as we are able to prove that it is indeed an infringement issue.
We will need to fully research the issue before we press charges against anyone. You will not get an answer right away as there are a lot of steps to this process.
Thank you again for the heads up.

In response I provided her what information I had, along with the URL of JMJOhio's Warehouse engine folder, so I guess we just wait now and see what happens.

Was notified by Turbosquid "Copyright & Trademark Infringement investigator" that the stolen model has been removed from their site. I have also just started a new thread here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=42399 to see what experiences other modelers might have had along these lines.

Now try applying textures to each part!
As installed in my 32 Ford rod. Still tweaking - model & renderings. These images were created with quick burns at low res, (2400 x ---). No post except for cropping and sizing for posting.

Nice model.
Just out of curiosity, how may lines and faces are there in this model? (model info)
And what sort of performance/smoothness does your system give you?Mine starts to get jerky around 500,000 lines, and then I have to start turning off layers to move/pan.

Those kurchunk's didn't sound good. I told you the head gaskets were .0000000001" too thick.
Nobody ever listens to me

Of course it died..... No fuel and no coolant. It only ran that little bit from fuel in the carbs.
It didn't die - I shutter down. That was just a tease start. You guys will have to pay to hear it really roar.
