Exactly the same situation I encountered...
my model templates were edited and recoloured
and the entire model sheets were then posted on facebook.
In this case, he is even offering the blank edited template (no colouring).
I'm sorry but this goes against the artist's wishes.
If the artist wanted to release a blank uncoloured version, he would have done so himself.
The biggest argument you get from these guys is that the model is "free" (no cost).
But being a free or paid model makes no difference in ownership and rights.
Some fellows leave the original artist's logos or name in place, thinking it is proper credit.
It is not.
I found with facebook, there isn't an easy way to report copyright issues with images.
You can immediately report an image as offensive (hate, politics or pornography).
But there is no visible option for requesting takedown.
Best thing to do is send multiple reports and requests to the page owner asking for the removal of all the related images.
I sent a removal request for every single image (to the page owner who posted my model templates).
