Please do not re-upload my creations under any circumstances. Making modifications to suite your own personal needs is fine but do not upload them to the workshop. It takes days, weeks and sometimes months to create a single ship or aircraft. Blatantly stealing someone else's work and uploading them as your own is NOT cool.
