A loooong time ago I made a 30 foot milk cartoon boat with 2000 milk cartons
and won the show division of the SeaFair Milk Carton Boat Derby. It
was a one-seventh scale model of the USS Constitution. (Also, there was a
pirate ship and I think Rick Loomis was on it.) <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>OK
I understand about selling fan made GROO stuff for profit (That BAD).<br>
<br>
What about posting stuff, like a groo drawing, or a kit bashed model I made,
for free, just as a fan work?<br>
<br>
I'm asking this because I make card models and post them so others can see and
make them.<br>
<br>
I was going to ask Mark if he was OK with my making some Groo models, and
posting pics (possibly a do it yourself MIlk Carton kit). Absolutely nothing
for sale, and not accepting any donation.<br>
<br>
I don't know if it is a copy right issue if I'm not selling anything, but
anyone could see, or download, the photos. I have even seen a few fan made
groo things go around the groop over the years.<br>
<br>
Also if I post pictures of my Dark Horse Groo figures after I dig them out
of my basement and paint them, is that an issue?<br>
<br>
I don't want to step on anyones toes, but how does fan art, versus for profit,
make a difference with copyright?<br>
<br>
Confused as always;<br>

<br>
If anyone wants to see some of my stuff check out; <br>
Blue Milk Special.com downloads section (I do not work for the strip, I'm just
a fan)<br>
Or BlueMilkCarton on Facebook.<br>
