But if they did not then... NO
but, at any rate, they do look good. i remember some time in early november when a team mate of mine said that those whould make great SG models. only took someone a month. lol.
One of my friends was bugging me all through the playtest to let him use the NS shotgun as his TFC engineer shotty model. And he wanted the turrets too. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
So I would think it's ok, it's like citing a paper, as long as the cite is there telling who the original creator is, it's fine and u won't get a 0 on it <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

No. The team has worked very hard to create the NS universe. Please don't e-mail or post asking to use our textures, models or technology for other projects. Any use of this stuff for purposes outside of supporting Natural Selection will be pursued aggressively.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So, no. I don't think they're allowed to do this.
Be also understand that if Flayra did so, he might end up with a few nay-sayers, and more than a few comparisons to Fox. The author is crediting NS, and not trying to steal credit at all. It is a labor of love.
From what little I've known of Flayra from these boards, Flayra is too much of a hippy <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> to rip it down. But be assured that he will still make sure that proper credit is documented.

But I wouldn't frown upon the NS team for shutting that model down on Custom TFC because it is their work and they do hold copyright rightfully.
I doubt anyone on the forums here would frown upon it. The NS team put work into their models and textures. This person gets the congratulations for porting it to TFC, with a minimum of work.
But how would fans of TFC who happen to like a game of NS now and again feel? What of those TFC fans who may be introduced to NS this way?

although it's good they mention where the models actually come from...mentioning where you got the material from, doesn't mean you haven't done a copyright infringement...to make legal use of other peoples copyrighted materials you <u>DO</u> need a written permision from the copyright holder, in this case Flayra and the rest of the NS team...
