I would be very surprised if the tanks, gun designs, equipment (especially for guard) did not look like existing things.
At one point I thought that it was ok, under "fair use" to cast your own peices for "personal" use, but that is not strictly the case under UK law, obviously there maybe some local differences.
There is a difference between a scratch build and casting. I have built a scratch built warhound before now, which looks similiar to the lucius pattern but is neither a direct copy nor am I trying pass it off as a ForgeWorld beasty.

Yuck, horrible Russ, and certainly illegal.
Nice idea for personal use to create wrecked tanks though. Hmmm.

I don't mind people making a few bits and bobs for themselves. But some poor sod could end up with a ****ty Christmas present bought by some parent thinking their getting a bargain.
