I built the ship using inspiration from yours. The style in which you curved the bow and the way the rudder was made is similar, aesthetically but not in dimensions.
Claiming the ship is any part yours is like if one guy claims someone elses build as they've both used the same method as terrain such as cubescape or platescape. Don't try and claim it as yours when you let me take a look at your ship while I built mine. I didn't duplicate or copy any dimensions from your ship, I can even send you a copy if you'd really like to investigate it.
You basically just built yours in the shape of my ship along with the unique details, leaving out essential things I had not yet built on my ship (because it was WIP and still is). I'm not saying that I actually built any part of your ship. You just took details and built them your way. You had my permission for all this so it is all fine by me, don't worry.

The thing is I simply want more credit than just "inspired by" when without my ship for you to investigate, you'd have no ship in the first place.

You didn't invent the features of ships, I used photos too when I made it. Either do some research and investigation and make a drama topic or stop posting here.
I made the ship while taking inspiration from one of yours. You don't own any of it.

I've literally spent hours and hours reading books and studying real-life ships and their blueprints to get all the essential things onto my ships. This small one is just one of many. Judging by all the essentials your ship is missing, you clearly didn't do half as much research as I did. Many parts on your ship are built exactly same way as mine and are found exactly in the same place as mine. And yes, some of the visual decorations on the ship are indeed made up by me. The ship I built that you used as an inspiration was slightly over 50% done. It was still missing half of the parts it was supposed to have. Your ship is missing the same parts and judging by that, you really didn't do enough research, so as you say: "do some research and investigation".

But I'm not saying I own any part of your ship, I'm not saying that you have no right to call it yours, I'm not saying that you shouldn't take credit for a ship that you built yourself. I'm completely fine with all that and couldn't care less for it. I just don't like it when your ship is mentioned along with the name "Furdle" alone, while the biggest inspiration of all photos and such you've used is clearly a build built by me. I'm just too stubborn to let it go. Some people have even come to me saying that "Furdle stole your ship!" and I've always had to ask them to take a closer look, because the ship isn't mine, only inspired by mine.

I don't blame you, I gave you full permission to use my ship as an inspiration so if it's someone's fault that people mistake your ship to mine, it's my fault. I've already posted pictures of my ship here so it's all fine now. I apologise for launching this argument over such a silly thing and wish to give up with it.

Let's just concentrate on Bravo's beautiful project here, just like you've done, and leave this be.
