Just clarifying a few things:
I WAS going to post that I had doubts in the possibility of the model being SF_Golds, and that he just converted it to .3ds for texturing, and needed help converting it back to .blend. However, I reviewed my logic, and noted that SF_Gold claims he's "Still texturing" the model in the first post of the cached thread, yet the guy towards the end of the thread mentions, by name, the model's texture. Furthermore, SF_Gold mentions in the exact thread that he FOUND the model, and asks if a newer one's been made, in reply to someone asking him to post the model for others to use.
The only other possibility besides complete theftis that SF_Gold borrowed a completed model and edited it, adding the person in Blender, as well as retexturing it and leaving the same file names. However, even if this much is true, SF_Gold could not, by current knowledge, have made this model entirelly.
I seem to think he didn't make a polygon of it, but I'm willing to give him some credit. Either way, this credit is null when he claims complete rights over the entire model.
