Just picked up some Epic Forge World Defence Lines from a fellow on eBay called The Mighty Gobbo. It appears to be a fairly decent recast done in some sort of dental plaster.

Is this guy a known recaster?

Does the seller have a repeating history of selling the same item? Does the seller have a history that looks kind of like this:

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Seriously though, there is so much recast material out there that it could just be a resold recast from some other person or a shoddy original. I've seen some pretty sad originals when it comes to epic stuff.

I sent him an email to ask if he was aware that it wasn't an original but I was sent a "Second Chance Offer" on three auctions of Forge World terrain so quickly that I was immediately suspicious.

The casts aren't bad but they are not Forge World resin.

I was just curious if he had a known history of this sort of thing.

I had purchased some metal miniatures about a month ago, i started painting them i dano 5 days ago for the most part. I noticed difference in what was the same model, so i sent a message and was refunded a 3rd of what i paid. Wasn't asking for money was just asking if he knew they where recasts, i'll never say no to free money though.

That kind of response worries me. It reeks of "Oh crap I got caught."
