funny, the top fish is meant to look friendly...sorta looks evil now ? 

still heaps of fill in background for the island area and also some little bits for tropical storm mode to add on the 'lawn' bits.

thankyou for the kind words, this if anything was going to be the weakspot of the project, im more or less happy (the in my mind stuff just doesnt translate to the hand...yet !!!)


it looks better in person....you dont see the flaws as much !!!!!!!!! ^.^

regards

Too bad you don't live closer. I'm building a CNC milling machine (been on hold for e few months) and it would be cake to translate it to a CNC router. I'm even handy writing tricky G-code and getting it working - been doing that for several years now. It's not tough at all compared to programming your game from scratch though, so you could do it pretty easy I would think.
A bed frame and a slot car motor or two would almost do it. Also need a big hammer (you can always use a big hammer)!*!

Looks great Nick & Nug.
I want my kit!
I feel more like I do now than I did when I first got here.

Yeaa. Mach 3. For what they ask for that program, I call them philanthropists. Incredibly feature-rich for the money, especially considering the "cottage industry" nature of the field.

Well, you never know. I'm getting pretty fed up with the atmosphere around here. Pretty scary really. The past few years, DC politicians started throwing trillions around like it's chump change. It's just not there man. I think it's all going to come crashing down pretty soon in ways that make the past year look like "the good old days". I'd kind of like to get out before it happens.
Oh, hell. I went and got all cheerful.

Hey, sponsor me as a "technical assistant" and maybe I'll relocate. ^^^ I work for beer. %$%
