Yeah, I contacted Dartstriker MONTHS ago to see if he had the original model and if not if we could re-create it.
He said (as displayed in the mail) that he would be happy to forward anything he had to us on it. Unfortunately it seems that the model had been lost for reasons not specified so we contracted somebody to re-create the model.
it appears this is simply a case of unfortunate mis-information as the HC forgot to inform him that this model is not meant for him to claim as an original idea. Still the fact remains is we now have a model which still needs to be prepared. X_X
EDIT: Btw here's a READABLE version of the mail JD posted. >_> Dart PM
