James H Posted January 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 9, 2020 Hi all, Model Ship World would very much like to announce CAFModel as a site sponsor and supporter, and also of the NRG. This has taken some real work, but it's great to see CAFModel here amongst our other sponsors, and it will be wonderful to see their creations built as logs here at MSW. We have added the CAF banner to the website, complete with a link to their own site, and included it in this post also. I will also start to bring you a series of in-box reviews of CAF kits here too, starting very soon. Dont forget to check out the CAF website for kits of all kinds, along with fittings and carvings. Note from Admin: CAF now meets all criteria as a legitimate MFG of ship model kits. They have stopped producing all kits based on source material they did not have the rights to use, mainly from Ancre. There current kits available on their website including the Enterprise, are perfectly fine and original works not taken without consent from other authors, designers and mfg's. We are currently helping Tom at CAF to acquire the proper rights through an agreement with Ancre to make any Ancre kits legally allowable. Until such time all CAF Ancre inspired kits are not allowed on MSW. But we are hopeful they soon will be. CAF has stopped mfg them and selling these Ancre related kits voluntarily after admitting he copied the material from Ancre without consent. Negotiations are currently underway to rectify that situation. Canute, Haliburton, mtaylor and 24 others 27 SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!
