Hi Grace—

I don't know; I think "sin bin" is sort of self-explanatory in US, Australian, and Canadian English; I read stygg's remark sort of like our American, " and I will surely rot in hell for (lying, cheating, voting for fracking in your home state, others).

Ww can like a post by using one of the thumbs up icons available in this configuration of vBulletin, but not inline (only as a post subject icon), however, I've seen people agree to like something by posting just a +1 in the body of the post. Or +5, I think convention goes up to +10, which means of course a lot of people post +100, interpreted as "I agree a shipload with the previous post."

My Best,

Gary

If the light source, stygg, is coming from above and slightly to the left, all the panels facing away from the light source need to be much darker:



Ya did good; it was an ambitious effort. stygg.

Built with bricks and tiles...

In post #16, what many people might not realize is that Maya faithfully duplicated a 3D, LEGO-like sculpture:



I think this took a phenomenal amount of patience, inspiration, and oh, I'd say a medium amount of Maya's inestimable talent. :)

What tipped me off, is that I know that a certain Secret Santa sent her the unassembled, extremely expensive toy this past Christmas.

Amazing what you find at Five Below...

Changed a couple of the textures on the blocks and made the right side faces darker. No idea why my reply to csehz posted twice.

Thanks Stygg and good idea, finally it has to be easy to create an ufoman shadow because who knows their real size So let's start the game
