My name is Mario Ruf, and I am a Hobbyists like you, you and you. Just take minute and stop painting, snorting glue or priming your fingers. ML Shields started as a project from a Tabletop Gamer for Tabletop Gamers. The idea of unique customizable Wargear like Shields/Symbols etc. was in my Head a long time. So I tried a new technique, and Material: Laserengraved/cutted Plexiglas. I was blown away
by the first Tests, posted them in the community and got amazing Feedback. This was the Start of ML Shields! After first orders and Design Wishes I decided to make this my little project in my Freetime. So understand that I can't provide producing quantities/times like big companys! I'm doing everything on my own. I distance myself from recasting or 3D-Printing of something that is safed under copyright. I create all the data files by myself, and the endproduct is 100 % my work. I know a lot of you want special designes refering to copyright Logos/Material. I can’t provide that because I have no licenses for them, or can I afford them. I also distance myself from copying these, my shields have other names and other designs. Similarities are not wished, but in small degree possible. ( A Shield is a Shield )
Testpaintjobs may have similaritys to other licensed designs, but it is just an example of painting, the endproduct is delivered unpainted. I hope you understand that, and I first want to test this in a small circle, to gain experience and develop the products. I don’t want to get drawn to court and everything I wanted to do for this hobby is ruined. So please stop asking for special names or designs, just wait for what is getting published. If you like it, great! If not, I’m sorry. Cheers, Mario Ruf
