    Quick but good - a howitzer sticking out of a top hat, now that's heavy!

    Thanks Acorn ... Admittedly, I could have spent a few more minutes on the cab, but I thought I'd got the point across.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    It works well. I tried to get a dynamic effect with my chains, which you did more simply.

    THe theme was heavy, but nothing said the item had to be heavy, or be the heaviest thing, so I brainstormed off the word and Heavy Bag came up. I thought that would give me a nice angle of attack and so I set forth to create a heavy bag with those little shapes...after some tinkering, this is what I got. It was pretty challenging, I never realized how much I rely on transparencies with gradients so much! lol
